Land Pooling In South Asia: Lessons Learned For Equitable, Paticipatory, and Inclusive Urban Expansion

This working paper is the third and final piece in a series of studies on land pooling in South Asia undertaken by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) from 2019 to 2020. The goal of the threepart series was to examine lessons across the region in addressing low-density urban sprawl. The series was driven by interest from South Asian national governments in scaling up land pooling for sustainable urban development that increases social welfare and is financially feasible. The first two papers took indepth looks at implementation experiences in Nepal and Bhutan.
