DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. David Adams\, Ian Mactaggart Chair of Property and Urban Studies\, The University of Glasgow \nAll are welcome. \nAbstract \nThis 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’s 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. \nAbout the speaker \nDavid Adams holds the Ian Mactaggart Chair of Property and Urban Studies at the University of Glasgow\, having previously worked at the Universities of Reading\, Manchester and Aberdeen. His research interests are in state-market relations in land and property\, with particular focus on planning and land policy\, real estate developers\, speculative housebuilders\, brownfield redevelopment\, and place quality. He has published widely in these fields\, most notably as co-author of Greenfields\, Brownfields and Housing Development (2002)\, co-editor of Planning\, Public Policy and Property Markets (2005) and Urban Design in the Real Estate Development (2011) and co-author of Shaping Places: Urban Planning\, Design and Development (2013).fields. Her research interests include real estate finance and project finance\, leasing theory\, financial institutions\, and public finance. \n URL:https://fac.arch.hku.hk/rccprr/event/seminar-on-scottish-land-reform-a-property-rights-approach-to-urban-regeneration/ LOCATION:KB526\, Knowles Building\, HKU\, Hong Kong CATEGORIES:Public Forum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20160714 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20160718 DTSTAMP:20260520T115527 CREATED:20190722T125909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190903T061712Z UID:85-1468454400-1468799999@fac.arch.hku.hk SUMMARY:CRIOCM 2016 21st International conference on “Advancement of Construction Management and Real Estate” DESCRIPTION:Conference Website \n URL:https://fac.arch.hku.hk/rccprr/event/criocm-2016-21st-international-conference-on-advancement-of-construction-management-and-real-estate/ CATEGORIES:Public Forum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170719 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170725 DTSTAMP:20260520T115527 CREATED:20190722T124615Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190903T061522Z UID:79-1500422400-1500940799@fac.arch.hku.hk SUMMARY:11th Conference on Planning\, Law and Property Rights 2017 - Institutional Innovations in Land Development and Planning in 20th and 21st Centuries DESCRIPTION:Keynote Speakers:\n\nProf. Rachelle Alterman\, Technion – Israel Institute of Technology\nProf. Yoram Barzel\, The University of Washington\nDr. Richard Sandor\, Environmental Financial Products LLC and The University of Chicago Law School\n\nUrban planning and land development legislative frameworks in the developed economies evolved constantly during the 20th century\, changing roughly 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 into high density habitats. China’s experience in particular provides a fascinating laboratory for the comparison of old and new ideas. In this PLPR conference we wish to bring together contributions that reflect on the efficacy\, efficiency and equity of a wide variety of urban planning and land management instruments. Leading planning\, law and property rights academics from around the world will be joined by senior urban decision-makers and government officials from China and Hong Kong SAR to 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 Asian high density urban-led economic boom\, is a good place to meet. \nA special issue entitled “Institutional Innovations in Land Development and Planning in 20th and 21stCenturies” in Habitat International (5-year impact factor: 1.946)  has been arranged for this conference.  Call for papers will be announced in due course. \nStay tuned for conference updates: http://plpr2017.arch.hku.hk/ \n URL:https://fac.arch.hku.hk/rccprr/event/11th-conference-on-planning-law-and-property-rights-2017-institutional-innovations-in-land-development-and-planning-in-20th-and-21st-centuries/ LOCATION:The University of Hong Kong\, 852\, Hong Kong CATEGORIES:Public Forum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170725 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170727 DTSTAMP:20260520T115527 CREATED:20190722T123708Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190903T060112Z UID:70-1500940800-1501113599@fac.arch.hku.hk SUMMARY:The Theory of Share Tenancy: After 50 Years 《佃農理論》五十年研討會 DESCRIPTION:Half a century ago at the University of California\, Los Angels\, Steven N.S. Cheung submitted his Ph.D. thesis\, “The Theory of Share Tenancy”. Provocative and original\, backed up by unambiguous empirical evidence\, the Theory of Share Tenancy quickly launched its author to stardom and an extraordinary career. A prestigious post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Chicago came in 1967 (even before the thesis was finished); the same institution\, a year later\, made Cheung assistant professor of economics\, only quickly lost him to the University of Washington in 1969\, whose Department of Economics unanimously offered Cheung full professorship a few months after his joining. \nTo celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Theory of Share Tenancy\, the Ronald Coase Center for Property Rights Research at the University of Hong Kong is pleased to announce an academic conference\, “the Theory of Share Tenancy: After 50 Years\,” which is to be held on November 25-26\, 2017 at Shenzhen. Chinese and overseas scholars\, including Steven Cheung himself\, will speak on the everlasting significance and growing relevance of the Theory of Share Tenancy in economics\, past\, present and future. \nBringing together leading economists of different generations\, this conference is also an occasion to take up the question\, “Whither economics?” In the past few decades\, economics has witnessed the fall of classical price theory\, from which the Theory of Share Tenancy came and to which the Theory of Share Tenancy contributed\, and the rise of formalism and technicality in various disguises. Knight\, Hayek\, Keynes\, Hicks\, Coase\, and Cheung are early critics of economics going astray. Recent global economic events have vindicated their criticisms and thrown economics into a soul-searching struggle for identity and direction. This conference hence also aims to interest\, instruct and inspire the next generation of scholars to carry on the torch of reviving what Ronald Coase called “good economics” – economics that helps us at a theoretical level understand better how the real world economy works\, and enables us at a practical level to see clearer what the problems are in in the economy and points us in the right direction to search for answers. \nWith these two purposes in mind\, we welcome papers criticizing\, developing\, and extending the original arguments of the Theory of Share Tenancy\, as well as papers that follow the spirit of the Theory of Share Tenancy to investigate real world economic problems from new theoretical perspectives. All papers will be reviewed by an ad hoc committee.  Best papers will be considered for a special issue of Man and the Economy: the Journal of the Coase Society. \n  \nTopics are suggested but not limited to: \n\nThe impact of The Theory of Share Tenancy\nThe Theory of Share Tenancy and the Coase Theorem\nFrom the Theory of Share Tenancy to a general theory of contract\nA Rising Star and the Birth of Contract Economics (Background History)\nTransaction Costs vs. Risk Aversion: The Disappointing Development of Contract Economics (General Impact on Contract/Institutional Economics)\nThe transaction cost paradigm as proposed by the Theory of Share Tenancy\nThe scientific philosophy of the Theory of Share Tenancy\nTenancy-Inefficiency Debate and the Nature of the Farm (Specific Impact on Agricultural/Development Economics)\nThe Sharecropping Nature of the Xian System and Beyond (Impact on Chinese Economic Reform)\n\n  \nImportant Dates \n\nAbstract submission deadline – September 20\,  2017\nFull-paper deadline – October 20\,  2017\nConference Dates – November 25-26\, 2017\n\n URL:https://fac.arch.hku.hk/rccprr/event/the-theory-of-share-tenancy-after-50-years/ LOCATION:Shenzhen\, China CATEGORIES:Public Forum END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID="Asia/Shanghai":20180818T143000 DTEND;TZID="Asia/Shanghai":20180818T173000 DTSTAMP:20260520T115527 CREATED:20190719T175930Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190903T062347Z UID:45-1534602600-1534613400@fac.arch.hku.hk SUMMARY:Public Forum: Mechanisms to Unleash Development Potential of Privately Owned Land in the New Territories DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n \nDue to various land management and historical problems\, development rights of more than 4\,000 ha privately owned land in the New Territories have been held up in the past decades.  This public forum aims to explore some possible fair and transparent mechanisms to unleash the development potentials in the New Territories. \nRegistration \nhttps://hkuems1.hku.hk/hkuems/ec_hdetail.aspx?guest=Y&ueid=58892 \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Land-Bond_V3_1_30072018\n\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Land_Readjustment_V9d_lowres20180710\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n#image_1682837445 {\n width: 100%;\n}\n\n \n Speakers\nInvited speakers and participants will discuss\, inter alia\, two institutional innovations namely “land readjustment” and “land bonds”.  Comments received in the public forum will form an integral part of a report to be submitted to the Task Force on Land Supply. \n \nSr Tony T.
