Urban planning and land development legislative\u00a0frameworks in the developed economies evolved constantly during the 20th century, changing\u00a0roughly every decade in the UK for example. In fast urbanising Asia, governments are rapidly putting into place their own institutions to support the conversion of agricultural land and adaptation of redundant urban land\u00a0into high density habitats. China’s experience in particular provides a fascinating laboratory for the comparison\u00a0of old and new ideas.\u00a0In this PLPR conference we wish to bring together contributions that reflect on the efficacy, efficiency and equity of a wide variety of\u00a0urban\u00a0planning and land management\u00a0instruments. Leading planning, law and property rights\u00a0academics from around\u00a0the world will be joined by senior urban decision-makers and government officials from China and Hong Kong SAR\u00a0to explore what could work, what might have worked, what did not work, what can be improved and what might be a dead end. Now is a good time for scholars from countries with a century or more of experience in legislating for urban growth to share experiences with the newly urbanising countries; and Hong Kong, at the epicentre of the\u00a0Asian high density urban-led economic boom, is a good place to meet.<\/h3>\n

A special issue entitled “Institutional Innovations in Land Development and Planning in 20th<\/sup> and 21st<\/sup> Centuries” in Habitat International (5-year impact factor: 1.946)\u00a0 has been arranged for this conference.\u00a0 Call for papers will be announced in due course.<\/h3>\n

China’s economic transformation presents a striking dilemma for new institutional economics. On the one hand, the extraordinary growth record China has achieved ever since the start of economic reform and opening-up in the late 1970s has provided strongest possible testimony to institutions as a fundamental cause of economic growth and economic change. On the other hand, the economic rise of China has been accompanied by notoriously weak institutions, from property rights protection to contract enforcement, from the financial system to the rule of law. At this mini-conference, scholars from North America, Japan, Mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong will present original research papers to explore the institutional foundations of China’s market transformation. Papers will be divided into four groups, namely the political economy of China’s market transformation, the slowing down economy, the industrial structure of production, and the institutions of land and urbanization.<\/p>\n
