Abstract

This policy brief highlights the importance of considering land and labour market dynamics when developing urban land use plans. It also outlines the three fundamental questions faced by policymakers when it comes to urban planning: a) the division between public and private space; b) what use to assign to public space, particularly concerning public good provision; c) what regulations to impose on private space, including rights and obligations.
