Scottish Land Reform \u2013 A Property Rights Approach to Urban Regeneration?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Speaker: Prof. David Adams, Ian Mactaggart Chair of Property and Urban Studies, The University of Glasgow<\/p>\n

Venue: KB526, Knowles Building, HKU<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

This seminar will explore current debates around urban land reform in Scotland and especially its potential to overcome ownership constraints to urban redevelopment. It will explore four particular recommendations recently made by the Scottish Government\u2019s Land Reform Review Group, drawing on international land policy experience, including some lessons from Hong Kong. These recommendations involve the introduction of statutory rights of pre-emption, majority land assembly, urban partnership zones and especially compulsory sale orders. The latter, which would challenge the rights of property owners to keep land vacant or derelict indefinitely, have gained considerable political support and seem likely to be enacted shortly.<\/p>\n
