Regularization of Urban Land in Peru
May 1998, English
Access to urban land by the popular sectors in metropolitan Lima has a troubled history resulting from the combination of spontaneous, unregulated land occupation and short-sighted policies to regularize land tenancy. Policies that were designed to resolve or mitigate irregular occupations have instead exacerbated the problem. A workshop on “Local Governments and the Management of […]

Transfer of Development Rights for Balanced Development
Robert Lane
March 1998, English
A TDR Parable: It’s simple. You just go to the farmer whose land you’re trying to preserve and tell him that he can’t develop his land because it is a “sending area” for your new Transfer of Developments Rights (TDR) program. At first, he’s a bit upset. But as town planner you assure him that […]

Land Value Taxation
Could It Work Today?
Dick Netzer
March 1998, English

New Colombian Law Implements Value Capture
Fernando Rojas and Martim Smolka
March 1998, English
Rapid urban growth, concentrated land ownership, and land use regulations often contribute to a scarcity of land serviced by public infrastructure, which facilitates huge increases in land prices and incredible speculative gains. When the legal and administrative framework cannot be changed easily to let markets operate gradual price adjustments that can be taxed via existing […]
