Successful Project Delivery: New Thinking about Stakeholders and ‘Security of Land Tenure’

Successful Project Delivery: New Thinking about Stakeholders and ‘Security of Land Tenure’

This presentation encourages new thinking about ‘due diligence’ ensuring clear title to the real property rights and interests necessary for successful project delivery.

Conflicts about these rights and interests – including litigation about ‘cranes, trains and little lanes’ – will be reframed as conflicts about ‘land tenure security’.

Within a framework consistent with United Nations Global Sustainable Development Goals, tenure security is a person’s perception that rights and interests in land will be upheld in law and by society.

The framework can encompass a diversity of stakeholder interests, agendas and understandings. While a traditional approach to ‘due diligence’ can fragment collaborative solutions, an orientation to ‘land tenure security’ provides precise, shared language, common understandings and a clear agenda.
