| Multiple and sequential land use: A national policy for Australia? | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: November 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 88Author(s): James J WalcottAbstractThe closest the Australian Government has come to a national land use policy was for multiple and sequential use that was proposed in 1992 as one pathway to sustainable development of land in Australia over space and time. Under this national strategy governments in Australia’s federalist system would undertake several actions but it was never resourced. In 2013 the Multiple Land Use Framework (MLUF) was developed but still has little promotion by governments and has not noticeably reduced... | ||

| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: November 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 88Author(s): Junqing Yu, Kaile Zhou, Shanlin YangAbstractThe rapid urbanization in China has a huge impact on land use. The scarcity of land resources has become a constraint for sustainable urban development. Recently, urban agglomeration (UA) has become a new type of complex urban system. The aim of this paper is to investigate the relationship of land use and UAs’ socio-economic development, and figure out effective land strategies. There are 12 evaluated UAs in our paper, which includes 184 cities. We analyze the land use... | ||
| Public land leasing, public productive spending and economic growth in Chinese cities | ||
| ###RSS_DATE### | ||
| Publication date: November 2019Source: Land Use Policy, Volume 88Author(s): Huina GaoAbstractLand leasing revenue has been successfully used as a municipal financing tool to support public infrastructure investments which may drive economic growth. This study first constructs a growth model to investigate the correlation among land leasing revenue, infrastructure development and economic growth, and finds that with higher land-capital more land leasing revenue could directly accelerate economic growth and land leasing revenue could also indirectly slow economic growth by increasing public... | ||
