In the fifth issue of the LEGEND bulletin, specialists from civil society, academia and development practice review how the latest draft of the New Urban Agenda (set to be adopted this month at the Habitat III Conference in Quito, Ecuador) addresses key issues around urban land, assess whether the commitments are likely to deliver more sustainable urban development and flag up key land related topics for monitoring during implementation.

The land policy bulletins are produced by the Core Land Support Team (CLST) for DFID's programme on responsible investment – Land: Enhancing Governance for Economic Development (LEGEND).
