The problem of land in the reconstruction of precarious neighbourhoods

This book allows you to become acquainted with the complexity of the Haitian land tenure system where, according to anecdotes, there are more property titles than the surface area of the country. The author's objective is not to go into details but rather to present the causes and origins of this problem which began with our independence in 1804. The earthquake of January 12, 2010 has somewhat aggravated this land situation where the hoped-for reconstruction could not be realized despite the realization of some small projects. This book can also be a useful source of information for the general public, especially students, lawyers, teachers, and NGO managers working in the housing or urban development sector.
