Project: The potential of Land Value Capture to secure sustainable urban development supporting air quality enhancement
| Acronym | Financing Clean Air (Reference Number: 18421354) |
| Duration | 01/03/2019 - 28/02/2022 |
| Project Topic | Goal: To enhance the financial capacity of urban governments to improve air quality through land value capture. We will do this by identifying the dynamic relationship between varying approahes to land value capture as mechanisms to finance sustainable transportation and environmentally-responsible housing to improve air quality. Content: The adaptation of urban environments in China and Europe is necessary to enhance air quality as a mitigating factor in climate change and improve livability. Housing and transportation are major contributors to urban air quality, yet environmental adaptations to reduce air pollution can be costly. Land value capture (LVC) is one attractive possibility for governments to fund these adaptations and enhance the economic, social and environmental sustainability of cities. The uplift in land values achieved through planning consent, infrastructure provision and the effects of economic growth may be captured by the state using an array of LVC mechanisms. Focussing on housng and transportation improvements, we will explore how varying approaches to LVC can be attuned to varied economic, cultural and natural conditions in China and Europe to improve air quality and support sustainable development and urban renewal. |
