More Course Details
Land value capture, also known as value sharing, is a type of land-based financing that begins with the recognition that public investment and government action — a new transit station, for example, or an up-zoning — increase property value for private landowners.
This increase in value can be measured and collected to support new construction of infrastructure, affordable housing, and other amenities that improve the quality of life for all residents.
This course introduces planners to land value capture strategies, their legal status, and how to implement land value capture at the local government level. Explore a case study from Denver.
