El Comercio highlights findings by Alvaro Espinoza and Ricardo Fort on the consequences of a law that fosters property titles to irregularly occupied land
Today, Monday 19, is the deadline for President Martín Vizcarra to observe the law that expands the titling of irregularly occupied land. Regarding the dire consequences of this measure, El Comercio highlights the recent findings of our researchers Alvaro Espinoza and Ricardo Fort: the 43 largest cities in Peru have expanded their urban land by 47% between 2001 and 2018, of which the 47% are illegal occupations, 46% are informal subdivisions, 6% are formal urbanizations, and 1% are social housing projects.
