Land Acquisition
Land Acquisition sits in the MasterPlanning phase of CityOS — AJG's synthesis of municipal-administration practice across 1,584 tracked cities. Cities acquire land for public projects via eminent domain (compulsory purchase / land acquisition act), TDR (Transfer of Development Rights — Mumbai pioneered), land pooling (Amaravati, Pune), market auction. India's LARR Act 2013 sets compensation at 4× market in rural / 2× urban + R&R provisions. Scale: Per-project; INR/USD lakhs to crores. Time horizon: 1-7 yr depending on consent + dispute. Multilateral coverage: 197 countries × 1,584 cities (T1/T2/T3).

CityOS is multilateral by construction. Frameworks adapt to legal, fiscal, and institutional context — but the structural slices are universal. City-specific applications surface via /os/cityos/country/{country}/.
How does this relate to AJG's broader platform?
CityOS complements TradeOS (operations) and GovOS (rules) by adding the urban-management lens. Cross-OS quadruples — DealOS × TradeOS × GovOS × CityOS — surface strategic + operational + regulatory + spatial views together.
