What to Read
 |
What to Read is the new name of an existing series formerly called "Country Insights Digest". What to Read is a periodic blog in which Land Portal researchers share their reading list and tell you why the selected pieces stand out in a sea of information. It is a reflection on some of the most important new articles and reports that aims to identify the most current points of discussion around land, distill key messages and points of debate, and offer you an entry point to learn more. We changed the name because our reading lists go beyond country borders. |
