Land Policies and Their Outcomes presents the main contributions to a Lincoln Institute conference,'Land Policies for Urban Development,'held in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in June 2006. The conference was designed to review the current research on the impacts of land policy on housing prices and affordability, real estate investment decisions, local public finance, and urban development patterns. The scholarly work on these issues is normally published in academic journals or presented at conferences whose audiences represent a particular discipline. One goal of this Institute conference was to promote cross-disciplinary dialogue on land policy issues among urban economists, public finance experts, urban and regional planners, and policy makers. Another goal of the conference was to draw on the global experience with these issues from both industrialized and developing countries. |
