The community land trust is an innovative form of tenure that
combines common ownership of land with individual ownership of any
buildings that are located upon that land. It first appeared in the
United States forty years ago. An outgrowth of the southern Civil
Rights Movement, the community land trust (CLT) was conceived
originally as a mechanism for African-American farmers to gain
access to agricultural land. It soon found many other uses,
including affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization. It
soon spread to urban, suburban, and rural communities throughout
the country. There are now over 200 CLTs in 44 states and the
District of Columbia. They are appearing in other countries as
well, with CLTs being developed in Canada, England, Scotland, and
Australia.
The Community Land Trust Reader brings together for the first time
the seminal texts that inspired and defined the CLT. Selections
trace the intellectual origins of an eclectic model of tenure that
was shaped by the social theories of Henry George, Ebenezer Howard,
Ralph Borsodi, and Arthur Morgan and by social experiments like the
Garden Cities of England and the Gramdan villages of India. The
Reader does not look only to the past, however. Many of its 46
essays and excerpts examine contemporary applications of the CLT in
promoting homeownership, spurring community development, protecting
public investment, and capturing land gains for the common good.
The Reader also looks ahead to challenges and opportunities likely
to affect the future development of CLTs, here and abroad.
