Abstract

The fundamental debate about urban growth—no growth, slow growth, go growth—will never be resolved, but there is a general agreement that it will occur, that it needs some type of management and that such management requires public policies. Disagreements revolve around how many and which policies to use, and how extensively to apply them. This book is motivated by the belief that measures such as the type, location, amount and rate of urban growth can be assembled, monitored and analyzed to gain a better understanding of urban growth processes and growth management policy. The chapter authors offer considerable insight into the state of the art and practice of land market monitoring—an important and emerging subfield of urban growth management.
