  abstract = {{T}his article examines the massive and unregulated registration of land titles on the periphery of {B}amako. {T}hese permanent titles were the focus of reform launched in 2014 for the establishment of a cadastre in {M}ali. {T}he measures taken to improve land inventories excluded provisional and customary rights, however, and targeted urban and peri-urban environments more specifically. {T}his article studies the terms for securing land tenure in a peri-urban environment in which the commodification of land has driven great competition but done little to encourage investment. {T}he analysis underscores the challenges in exploiting the data that describe land titles. {I}t highlights the numerous limitations, but also the informative potential in the context of ongoing urban sprawl. {F}inally, the article highlights how land speculation is tied to both the socio-economic characteristics of title holders and to enduring political weakness in the country.},
