  • Dr Johanna Brugman Alvarez | 2020 Research Seminar Series

    Wednesday 25 March 2020 12:00pm to 1:30pm

    Since colonial times a formal/informal divide entrenched in systems of urban planning in Phnom Penh, Cambodia has been used as a governmental tool by the state to marginalize and exclude informal settlements. This tool has also been used to impose market-led tenure reforms and a land formalisation program that perpetuate an individual/collective divide by promoting individual property rights. This paper uncovers these interrelated dichotomies and explains how these are used as governmental tools by actors within and through the state to their advantage and the social and spatial inequalities these generate in the city.

  • 2019 Research Seminar Series

    Monday 21 October 2019 11:30am to 1:00pm

    Land tenure is ephemeral, since the life of people is short – generally less than a century – compared to the age of the landscape – where geological epochs are measured in tens of millions of years. Yet both are processes that are temporal, and both shape the landscape separately and now together, creating “artefacts”, landscape forms that are by-products of the processes’ operation. This presentation forms part of the ongoing development of Julian’s next book project provisionally entitled Latent City: the landscape architecture of land tenure, and will comprise a background historical investigation of land title and an argument for treating it as a temporal process that has formal effects, linking it to the model of “practices” that he developed in his last book Overgrown.
