residents rarely have the formal rights to remain on the land they oc-
cupy. So they have no incentive to develop the land for the future, and
are unable to raise the money to do so.
A stake in the future
Hernando de Soto, a well-known economist from Peru, has long
advocated another solution: giving formal title deeds to the poorest
slum dwellers. Possessing, legal proof that they own the land beneath
their home, however humble, gives poor people the means to raise fi-
nance for improving their dwelling and even, in many cases, for start-
ing a business. The Peruvian government has issued well over a million
property titles to the great benefit of impoverished families.
As the UN report points out, awarding titles is not always easy.
Land laws in many developing countries are overly complicated, and
government bureaucracies frequently inefficient or corrupt. But legal
complications are often the unwelcome legacy of the colonial era, and
should be untangled in any case. And bureaucratic inefficiency is a
headache for reforms in every area, not just in that of slum policy.
The owners of much slum land have long since abandoned any
serious claims to it. In other places, the land belongs to the govern-
ment. In both cases, awarding a title to slum dwellers can be seen as a
fair way to establish property rights, the bedrock of any prosperous so-
ciety. If governments are brave enough to try it, slums could yet be-
come an engine of growth in poor countries, rather than a crisis in the
making.
