Abstract: This study explores urban land management in developing Asian countries, focusing on urbanization, land use, and property development. Using data from Bangladesh, Korea, Sri Lanka, and Thailand, it examines population growth in mega-cities, urban density trends, and population concentration patterns. The research highlights land ownership distribution, regional land values, and capital gains, alongside changes in land, housing, and consumer prices. It assesses land allocation for infrastructure, national land use classifications, construction costs, and urban planning policies for sustainable growth. The study also reviews the roles of governmental agencies and investment patterns, emphasizing improved regulatory frameworks to address challenges of rapid urbanization.
