UCT PhD thesis unpacks access to land for urban poor
Najmunnisa Mammon's PhD thesis, The urban land question: management and access for the urban poor in post-apartheid South Africa, can play a significant role in addressing the urban land question in Cape Town and South Africa. She points out that the first step in making state-owned land available to the urban poor is to make the public land asset register more explicit and transparent to society; the second is to define a role for the state in facilitating access for the urban poor; and the third is to streamline urban planning and land use management processes to enable such access.

UCT PhD thesis investigates effects of tax increase, advertising ban on tobacco sales
Evan Blecher's PhD thesis,The economics of tobacco control in low- and middle-income countries, investigates the effectiveness of excise tax increases and advertising restrictions to reduce tobacco consumption, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Many LMICs experience rapid economic growth, and over the past 2 decades, cigarettes have become more affordable in these countries. Blecher argues that excise tax increases on tobacco should be anchored on the affordability concept, rather than as a tax burden, as is currently the case, where excise tax is determined as a percentage of the retail price.
