  • Trends in Land and Property Market in Kandy City
    TRENDS IN LAND AND PROPERTY MARKET IN KANDY CITY AS.M. NAWFHAL ~~a.NfNT ~(FfRf.NCE Department of Geography, Faculty of Arts, FOF- V3E IN THE University of Peradeniya. LlEk;:Ar:Y ONL. Y ABSTRACT The city of Kandy is characterized by its uniqueness as a provincial and district capital and a cultural center. Land and property within the city has an added value for its specific characteristics, namely compactness as a result of its landlocked nature, accessibility, availability of infrastructure facilities, perception towards living standard based on educational and employment facilities. The value of land and property continue to increase depending on the location, infrastructure and perception. Nevertheless, the competition for land and property for commercial and housing has become more distinct than any other urban functions. The size of land continuously reduces as a result of land : house ratio continue to shrink. As a result, the land and property in this city may rise by folds. Unless a proper planning with strict guidelines to control haphazard development within this urban environment is implemented, the city will have severe problems in the future. The city of Kandy is the largest urban centre in central Sri Lanka functioning as a district and a provincial capital. The destruction caused to the morphology of the centre by colonial invaders made the urban centre take the shape of the present landscape on the triangular grid. After independence in 1948, a large influx of population from the western and the southern part of Sri Lanka increased the size the population of the city. Land transactions and property transfers increased after 1960 as a result of a large capital flow into Kandy.

There have been instances where I was desperate not knowing how to move forward with the burden of not having adequate funding for most of the programs, saddened by many donors changing their priority and moving out of the country due to shrinking space in the country giving us little hope.
