What are the limits of land use planning and what are its
objectives? Is the aim aesthetic? Is it efficiency? Is it to ensure
quality? Or sustainability? And if it is all these aims, how should
they be balanced against each other?
This book addresses such questions through an analysis of the
economics of land use planning and the relationship between
economics and planning.
It draws together the economics literature relating to planning
and sets it out systematically. Over the past 20 years the economic
analysis of land use planning has used positive economics to
examine the unintended effects of planning and the way economic
forces have affected planning. Public choice theory also plays a
part in indicating the way planning has developed as the result of
political pressures. The impact of planning is now so great that a
full development is much needed.
The book sets out the economic justification for land use
planning as well as describing methods of assessing planning
proposals and controls. It then presents a thorough analysis of the
economic effects of the system and its 'political economy', looking
at why planning takes the form it does.
"Economics and Land use Planning" results from the 30 years of
research, teaching and debate by the author. He writes in a crisp
and clear style, simplifying the arguments without any loss of
academic rigour. This thorough but accessible analysis will be
valuable to students and researchers in real estate, land
management, planning and urban economics.
