Changing ability to pay for housing into effective demand
Why is Public Policy for Affordable Housing in India Changing So Slowly
In India, attempts to stimulate a formal market for affordable housing, by privatizing, deregulating and promoting the private sector funding for housing and infrastructure, as an alternative to the provision by the government, have not been very successful. This study offers as an explanation that the intended market did not arise because the new policy did not take into account the existing institutional structure that regulates the (informal) …
Urban land rent
In Singapore, land and real estate are managed in an unusual and special way. Haila calls this “the regime of regulating public land” (215). In particular, the state owns most land. It is actively

Planning Practice between Ethics and the Power Game
When considering how ethical considerations should be applied to the practice of spatial planning, most attention has been given to how individual spatial planners should do that. Our focus in this article is different: it is on the public agencies that carry out spatial planning. What ethical principles should they follow, both for determining the content of the planning policy and the procedures by which those principles are applied? We argue t…
The Short Lifespan of the Netherlands Institute for Spatial Research. On the Framing Practices of a Think Tank for Spatial Development and Planning
Lagendijk A. and Needham B. The short lifespan of the Netherlands Institute for Spatial Research. On the framing practices of a think tank for spatial development and planning, Regional Studies. This paper analyses how, in its short life between 2002 and 2008, the Netherlands Institute for Spatial Research (a government think tank) engaged with and impacted upon policy-making. For this analysis, theory of policy–science interfaces and of ‘framing…
Institutions in Theories of Land Markets
Theories of land markets should be intellectually sound and should be able to explain and predict market outcomes, such as price and volume of transactions, changes in these and locations of different land uses. Theories based on neo-classical economics, which largely ignore the role of institutions, are not intellectually sound because it is known that markets cannot work without institutions. Nor do these theories predict outcomes satisfactoril…
Reframing Floods
Many historical cities are built alongside rivers. Floodplains were attractive sites for urban expansion. However, the flood events since the 1990's have shown that many urban settlements are under flood risk. This research investigates how flood management and land use planning policies have changed after high water and (near)floods in the Netherlands, Germany, and France. In particular, it investigates how changing policies affect the developme…
Land readjustment for value capturing
Many urban redevelopment projects include expensive infrastructural works. In order to find funds for such infrastructure development, city planners are increasingly looking for opportunities for 'value capturing' from related property development. The argument is: investment in new infrastructure improves the accessibility of the locations connected to this infrastructure, with the result that property values in those locations increase. Based o…

Understanding How Land is Exchanged
This paper seeks to increase our understanding of how land is exchanged between suppliers and demanders. Most current land-price theories, and the land-use models which are derived from them, assume that co-ordination between suppliers and demanders is achieved through the price mechanism. There are, however, other possible co-ordination mechanisms, including imposed rules and mutual trust. In order to take account of these, the effect of institu…
Dutch Growth Management in a Changing Market
The Effects of Land Policy
Most studies of land policy, in the abstract and when applied to a country and to comparisons between countries, use a theoretical framework which is derived, ultimately, from Ricardo's land price theory. This is used to predict the effects and the incidence of the costs and benefits which result from applying land policy instruments. This article begins by comparing land policy in Israel and the Netherlands in that way. Both countries have a hig…
Negotiating about the Residential Environment
In the housing development process, negotiations take place between public and private parties about who is going to finance projects that should improve residential quality. In this paper, an analytical framework is developed for understanding these negotiations in different forms which the development process can take. Part of the expenditure on the residential environment is fixed by quality standards. Another part is directly related to the d…

A Theory of Land Prices when Land is Supplied Publicly
Most attempts to explain land prices assume free competition between suppliers and demanders of land. If there are constraints on this competition (e.g. land-use planning) this is added as a modification to the theory. When, however, the supply of building land is in the hands of public agencies, which determine the volume and price of supply specified by land use and location, a different theoretical approach is needed. In this situation, certai…

A Neo-Classical Supply-Based Approach to Land Prices
Current interest in land-price theory is dominated by attempts to explain the structure of land prices and land uses in urban areas. Those theories, however, do not enable certain important political issues to be elucidated, in particular the relationship between produce price and land price. A different approach is therefore suggested, which considers the supply of land to consist of a supply of stocks of land differentiated by fertility, locati…
