[Peter Bill @peterproperty]

Entire sector rises as one to reject proposal for infrastructure levy, demanding the convening of a ‘ministerial round table’ to find ways of making present rackety system work better. Sometimes despair is the only reaction. https://t.co/0VZwydY5BU

Neo-classical economists getting their models to fit the data.

Labour vows to introduce Scottish-style right to roam law in England

New blog post on the Infrastructure Levy for the RTPI. Sceptical about its quest to reduce uncertainty. There is no getting around the fact that thinking about and valuing land as a commodity creates significant problems that no amount of technical tinkering can resolve.

[Jon Moses @jm0ses]

This is utterly jaw-dropping.

In Barcelona, the city seizes empty apartments and uses them for social housing.

New piece on land value capture and the land question in planning in the TCPA journal.

[Town & Country Planning Association @theTCPA]

"It is clear that the land question, and the version of it contained in land value capture debates, is not going away any time soon".

@DrEdShepherd writes for the latest issue of Town and Country Planning journal.

Fully ESRC-funded PhD opportunity at Cardiff University: A critical analysis of biodiversity in urban planning and development. Great opportunity to do research that makes a difference. Details and how to apply here: https://t.co/MgoZK1RGmg

It would be terrible if the only place in England and Wales where one can legally wild camp were to have these rights curtailed due to the actions of a few idiots. https://t.co/jmElUSo4sA

[Thomas Aubrey @ThomasAubreyCCA]

Why housing in NL is more affordable than the UK. Urban economists have known for decades that demand is the main driver of house prices, and that raising supply only has some effect in reducing the rate of growth. But in the long run these small supply effects can be significant

@RosieP4 @michaellondonsf @theTCPA @bswud @_DSlade Sounds like Twitter to me…

[Edward Shepherd @DrEdShepherd]

Enjoyed taking part in this - much more civilised than Twitter (although that is setting the bar rather low). Thanks to the other contributors and to Dan for making it fun.

[Town & Country Planning Association @theTCPA]

We've brought together four very different voices - @DrEdShepherd, @DrEdShepherd, @RosieP4, & @bswud, along with comment from our own @_DSlade - & given them the space to debate the government's planning reforms properly, as part of a 'tetralogue'.
