The paper examines the effects of land development gains on housing provision. It uses comparative analysis of two contrasting cases, Britain and Sweden, to examine housing land costs, the land cost element of housing prices, and the distribution of development gains among different social groups. In Britain, housing land costs and the land cost element are increasingly high and unstable compared to Sweden. State policy in Sweden significantly restricts the ability of landowners and builders to make land development gains in housebuilding. These are instead transferred to housing consumers in the form of cheaper, better located housing and in capital gains. This also encourages builders in Sweden to make profits through increasing labour productivity and product innovation, further stimulating housing output. The paper ends by briefly considering the policy implication of the Swedish model for Britain
