Urban LandMark stands for the Urban Land Markets Programme. A South African organisation based in Pretoria, the programme was set up in May 2006 with two years of funding from the UK's Department for International Development. The mandate was subsequently renewed for another three years, until 2011.
Urban LandMark has been designed to play a short-term, catalytic role and is financially managed by FinMark Trust. FinMark Trust is already applying the 'making markets work for the poor' thinking in financial and housing markets, which are relevant to the urban land markets question.
Urban LandMark is an autonomous organisation with its own management structures, which include a Project Management Committee and a Programme Advisory Committee to help review and guide research.
The organisation has as its core staff a programme director, programme manager, administrative manager and office administrator. Consultants, experts and partners involved in similar areas of intellectual inquiry conduct the research. Through research, we are building an empirical base on which to build a better understanding of the urban land market.
