This book has many merits and deserves the attention not only of planners but also of readers keenly interested in environmental law, geography, urban sociology and business studies. The book uniquely focuses attention on a number of trends of convergence related to the use of compulsory acquisition, which inter alia encompass a more favourable treatment of landowners than in the past. Furthermore, the book significantly expands the literature available on compulsory property acquisition in the public interest, going beyond the provision of land for public works projects, such as the construction of transport infrastructure and public facilities - Marco Bianconi, European Planning Studies, UK This is a welcome addition to the Routledge Complex Real Property Rights Series, edited by the eminent Professor Spike Boydell, comprising eleven chapters focusing on different parts of the world with introductory and concluding chapters by Glen Searle. This book is essential reading for planners, valuers, politicians, government officers, developers and others involved in the global challenge of accommodating ever increasing urban populations within finite land areas - David Parker, Pacific Rim Property Research Journal, Australia This book has many merits and deserves the attention not only of planners but also of readers keenly interested in environmental law, geography, urban sociology and business studies.

This book is essential reading for planners, valuers, politicians, government officers, developers and others involved in the global challenge of accommodating ever increasing urban populations within finite land areas - David Parker, Pacific Rim Property Research Journal, Australia ...this is a very valuable book that every strategic planner should read.... It is an excellent contribution to debate on overcoming the land fragmentation hurdle on the path to denser and more sustainable cities. It contributes to several fields in urban planning namely, land value capture related with infrastructure development, ecological sustainability and public health and wellbeing. It is easy to read. In fact, it is very enjoyable. The book has a very strong focus on the practice of land acquisition. Several contributors to this book are practitioners. Relevant theories such as property rights and land acquisition are only lightly touched in it. That tilts the book more towards policy discussion and policymaking rather than the academic discussion on planning matters. The practice focus of the book is highly appreciable.
