Economics and land use planning

"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 analysis will be valuable to students and researchers in real estate, land management, planning and urban economics."--Jacket
