    Iraq

    Land registration and property rights in Iraq have deep historical foundations reaching back to the Hammurabic period. However, the current land registration system owes more to the 400-year Ottoman occupation of Iraq and the subsequent interval under the British mandate. Under these regimes, land policy was self-serving and designed to maintain and reinforce the existing political power. This was done through the allocation of land to influential individuals who supported the incumbent regime.

    Le cas de Libreville

    Peer-reviewed publication
    December, 2005
    Gabon

    Depuis 1970, l’agglomération de Libreville, à l’instar des autres villes de l’Afrique subsaharienne, connaît une occupation spatiale qui s’opère par les initiatives individuelles. Malgré la panoplie de textes législatifs et réglementaires qui régissent le foncier et l’urbanisme, la pratique la plus répandue d’appropriation du sol reste la squatterisation et l’urbanisation spontanée. Cette forme d’occupation territoriale et la rapide croissance démographique de Libreville ont favorisé la formation des quartiers sous-intégrés et l’extension incontrôlée de la ville.
