Anchor Cases:

A reframing of land as a delivery input—not a constraint—and why packaging determines whether sites ever become projects. This is an execution-focused session unpacking land readiness, zoning, services, title, and sequencing — and why most projects fail before finance is even considered.

Who Should Attend

Every session will be honoured by the presence and participation of;

  • Municipal planners, housing officials, and infrastructure managers
  • Public sector decision-makers and policy practitioners
  • Emerging and established property developers
  • DFIs, commercial banks, fund managers, and impact investors
  • Built-environment professionals (planners, engineers, architects, QSs)
  • Procurement, project management, and delivery professionals
  • NGOs, development agencies, and social impact practitioners
  • Community leaders and delivery intermediaries involved in housing and infrastructure
  • This series is designed for practitioners responsible for turning plans, policies, and capital into real, delivered outcomes.

    What You’ll Walk Away With

  • A reframing of land from “availability” to “bankability”
  • Practical criteria for assessing whether a site is truly delivery-ready
  • Understanding how poor land packaging cascades into finance and delivery failure
  • Insight into approvals, services, tenure, and sequencing challenges
  • Tools to evaluate land beyond surface-level compliance
  • Land availability is often blamed for stalled housing delivery, yet vast tracts of approved land remain undeveloped. This session challenges the assumption that land scarcity is the core problem and instead focuses on how land is packaged—or not—for delivery.

    Participants will explore what makes land bankable, finance-ready, and executable, examining approvals, services, tenure, zoning, and institutional alignment. The session demonstrates how poor land packaging creates downstream failures in finance, procurement, and construction.
