Land policy : planning and the spatial consequences of property [3] "Land policy is the interface between spatial planning and private property: Who owns the land? What rights do landowners have? How can these rights be reconciled with public interests? Land policy, a critical aspect of public policy, responds to such questions. This book offers a complete understanding of land policy in the context of land law and land markets, illustrating issues in question with examples from Germany."

The planning game : an information economics approach to understanding urban and environmental management [5] "Trading information is an essential aspect of the negotiations that underpin planning practice across the globe. In this book, Alex Lord uses information economics to outline a way of thinking about these negotiations that places the actors in the planning game at the heart of the debate. Lord argues that information economics’ tool kit, game theory – including well-known examples such as the Prisoners’ Dilemma and Follow the Leader – offers an analytical framework ideally suited to unpacking planning processes."
