Affordable housing provision through implicit land taxation
نویسنده
چکیده
The key issue in this paper is the appropriateness and equity of land-use planning mechanisms, and any associated cross-subsidization, as a means of enhancing the supply of affordable housing. The paper will examine the principles of ‘affordable housing through planning’ in England and it will comment on ‘inclusionary zoning’ as a means to promote affordable housing in the USA. The ways in which the planning system is used in England to support the delivery of affordable housing in developments that combine ‘market housing’ and ‘affordable housing’ will be explained. The English system will be compared with the use of inclusionary zoning to support affordable housing in the USA.
