Recent years have seen a gathering interest in the importance of
real estate development to the growth and development of cities.
This has included theoretical work on such topics as land rent and
property rights as well as empirical studies on property
investments, assetization, securitization, and the effects of
changing property values on economic growth and the global status
of cities. In the field of urban political economy, attention has
turned particularly to the financialization of land and the built
environment and to the globalization of property ownership, real
estate development, and architectural design. This edited volume
brings together a collection of original investigations of the
current thinking on three broad themes: the assetization of land
and buildings, the relationship of land rent to valuation and
speculation in the markets for private and public properties, and
the different ways in which land functions as a social relation. In
order to ground the discussion, each chapter combines a theoretical
perspective with empirical evidence. And, to convey a sense of the
global nature of these phenomena, the book includes cases from
Finland, India, Spain, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Italy, China,
and the United States. Although its prime goal is to solidify and
extend the political economy of land, this book is also a
celebration of the Finnish scholar Anne Haila who was a major
contributor to this literature and, specifically, to the work of
this book's authors. Prior to her sudden death in 2019, she was a
key figure in the discussions that are at the core of the political
economy of land: this book, in part, is a public acknowledgement of
her contributions.
