Abstract

This book examines the dynamics underpinning the implementation of Zimbabwe's fast track land reforms. By utilising ethnographic data gathered in central Zimbabwe, the book goes beyond the polarised debates which dominated scholarship in the earlier period to highlight the changing livelihoods occasioned by the land reform. The book argues that despite the challenges faced by the newly resettled farmers, the land reform has allowed landless and land-short peasants access to land and other natural resources which were previously enclosed to them under a bi-modal agrarian structure inherited from colonialism.

Abstract

The development of raw land into buildable lots can be filled with opportunities as well as pitfalls. In Residential Land Development Practices, Fourth Edition, Johnson draws on more than 40 years of experience as an engineer, consultant, and lecturer to prepare an easy-to-use guide to the basic concepts of land planning, subdivision design, and residential standards.This edition has been updated with five new chapters reflecting the social and economic changes in the last ten years. The new material includes sustainable land development concepts; the municipal government’s changing landscape; the developer, consultant, regulator relationship; due diligence practices; and land development as part of the engineering curriculum.Added to the core topics of bidding, financing, marketing, project management, and field operations, this new edition provides a comprehensive guide for land development beginners or seasoned professionals to better understand the complexities of the residential land development business.

Abstract

From one of our finest writers and leading environmental thinkers, a powerful book about how the land we share divides us—and how it could unite usToday, we are at a turning point as we face ecological and political crises that are rooted in conflicts over the land itself. But these problems can be solved if we draw on elements of our tradition that move us toward a new commonwealth—a community founded on the well-being of all people and the natural world. In this brief, powerful, timely, and hopeful book, Jedediah Purdy explores how we might begin to heal our fractured and contentious relationship with the land and with each other.
