A politically less contested and financially more calculable urban future
This article examines and makes explicit the co-constitutive relationship between density techniques, their depoliticization effects, and heightened land commodification in Taiwan's acceleration to a real estate-oriented economy. TDR (transfer of development rights) and density bonusing are two almost omnipresent practices in urban land development in Taiwan. We ask how their technocratic approach-using predetermined formulas to bracket density u…
Social governance for value creation
Focusing on Taiwan's state-led, compulsory land assembly scheme (called Zonal Expropriation), we examine how the increasingly entrepreneurial state has deployed it to create land value while socially governing challenges to speculative urbanism. We argue that any development schemes that claim a priori creation of value must in fact socially construct that value in practice. Building on a case study called Central North, we show that zonal exprop…
Land Fictions
Researchers as inquirers
In this contribution, I put into practice what Bob Lake argues for: science as a conversational style. Grounded in Deweyan pragmatism and creative democracy, Lake’s critical urban scholarship on social justice, democratic planning, and inclusive participation is deeply relational and anti-foundational. Lake rejects the foundational belief that conforming to a normative framework of justice is the foundation for producing just planning outcomes. I…
Negotiating Density and Financing Public Goods in Vancouver and New Taipei City
This article examines two density-based value-capture mechanisms – community amenity contributions (CAC) in Vancouver, Canada, and transfer of development rights (TDR) in New Taipei City, Taiwan – that planners use to finance public goods. To understand the differences in the design of the mechanisms, negotiating dynamics, actors involved, and types of public goods financed, we propose three perspectives on development rights: absolute ownership,…
Where does floating TDR land? An analysis of location attributes in real estate development in Taiwan
Transfer of development rights and public facility planning in Taiwan
Since the early 2000s, transfer of development rights has served as a compensatory regime to address the ‘reserved land’ issue in Taiwan, a planning challenge that has seen private owners remain uncompensated for land flagged by the government for public facilities. This article investigates two aspects of the implementation of transfer of development rights in Taiwan. First, it examines the local adaptation process by which the use of transfer o…
Urban Informalities
Legal Geographies—Governing Through Law
This article examines recent legislation on the mandatory practice of government adjudication and its impacts on community residents' legal challenges to chaiqian (demolition and relocation) in Shanghai. In recent years, rights-based grievances over community displacement have become a major source of social conflict in urban China. The new legislation represents the Chinese state's efforts to establish a law-based model through which to govern a…
The Evolving Law of Disputed Relocation
The forceful pursuit of inner-city renewal in Shanghai since the early 1990s has to a great extent achieved spatial modernization, but at the same time it has given rise to increasing conflicts over residential relocation. Using law as a prism through which to examine the dialectic relationship between renewal practices and disputed relocation, this article argues that the series of unprecedented enactments in law that have taken place during thi…
