Land has been, and still is one of the most valued assets, and with that, one of the leading causes of wrangles and disputes in communities. On this one resource, a good percentage of life's basic requirements is dependent and even existent. With the growing populations comes higher demand for spaces and increased competition for land, and housing for the increasing numbers. 

The course covers the land and housing concepts, looking in details at land ownership and acquisition in Uganda and how this ownership and acquisition influences housing development. The focus on land, especially for housing gives insight into different approaches that can be used to increase housing availability and therefore address the current deficit, as well as improve tenure security.
