| Abstract: | This special issue of 'Urban Forum' comprises a collection of articles focusing on the dynamics of urban land markets in South Africa, Mozambique, Angola, Ghana, Botswana, and Zambia, with comparative cases from Asia and Latin America. The papers were presented at a conference convened by Urban LandMark in 2010 entitled 'Rethinking emerging land markets in rapidly growing Southern African cities'. The authors focus on the dynamics of informal land markets. By exploring how the poor participate in the informal economy, the articles offer insights into the relationship between land and poverty, and how low-income households use land to cope with social, political and economic insecurity.
