Know Edge Ltd - Land Administration

Land Administration

It would be hard to imagine a society without property rights as a basic driver for development and economic growth. Land and property is not only an economic asset; secure property rights provide a sense of identity and belonging that goes far beyond and underpins the values of democracy and human freedom.

In a world where over half the population live in urban areas, the effective management of land through robust Land Administration functions are fundamental to support sustainable development. Our world-wide customers include:
