Three 3-year Post doc positions are advertised.

The project
The world is currently undergoing the largest wave of urban growth in human history. However, no land, that government and developers see as future cities in the Global South, is vacant. There is no empty ‘no-man’s land.’ Individual citizens, social movements, squatters, and urban developers already engage in making their land use look legal. Urban property development in the Global South therefore often starts out in illegality, and only subsequently does it become legal. The project investigates how land is accessed, coded, and controlled in urban peripheries.
