David Adams

Emeritus Professor in Urban Studies @UofGlasgow and past Board Member of @ScottishLandCom. Keen on creative place-making & urban land reform.

[Andrew Thin @andrew_thin]

Another illustration of why localised monopoly ownership of land and property is seldom in the public interest.

[David Stewart @DStewartSLC]

I was struck when attending events on brownfield land re-use, rural housing and town centre living that all areas suffer from market failure. I've suggested a change in approach to land assembly and development to deliver homes where they are needed.

We owe a huge thanks to @AndrewThin who steps down as chair of @ScottishLandCom. His leadership has been pivotal to establishing the Commission as a new public body in 2017 and to the way we’ve sought to bring fresh thinking to land reform since then.

[James Hutton Institute @JamesHuttonInst]

Congratulations to the Institute’s Deputy Chief Executive Professor @aDebRoberts, who has been appointed to the board of the @ScottishLandCom.

The Commission’s role is to stimulate fresh thinking and advise @scotgov on a programme land reform.

[Andrew Thin @andrew_thin]

New "use it or lose it" compulsory sale orders recommended by @ScottishLandCom could make a huge difference in Glasgow. Time to take the gloves off.

[Andrew Thin @andrew_thin]

Vacant and derelict buildings are a blight on too many of our communities. @ScottishLandCom has recommended Compulsory Sale Orders as a "use it or lose it" tool to enable local authorities to force action from owners.

[David Adams @profdavidadams]

@COHubClyde Delighted to see so much progress made @ScottishLandCom since 2016. I’m sure this will be taken forward the new Commissioners, replacing those of us whose terms of office will shortly conclude. There’s still a huge agenda for urban land reform in Scotland, so please do apply!
