This book explores international examples of the property rights tensions involved in attempting to develop denser, more sustainable cities through compulsory acquisition of property. The case studies from Europe, North America, eastern Asia and Australia show how well, or not, property rights have been recognised in each country. Chapters explore the significance of local legal frameworks and institutions in accommodating property rights in the densification process. In particular, the case studies address the following issues and more: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhether compulsory acquisition to increase densification is justified in practice and in theory\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe specific public benefits given for compulsory acquisition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role the development industry plays in facilitating, encouraging or promoting compulsory acquisition\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat compensation or offsets are offered for acquisition, and how are they funded? \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs there a local or national history of compulsory property acquisition by government for a range of purposes?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eIs compulsory acquisition restricted to certain types or locations of densification?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhere existing housing is acquired, are there obligations to provide alternative housing arrangements?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe central aim of the book is to summarize international experiences of the extent to which property rights have or have not been protected in the use of compulsory property acquisition to achieve sustainable cities via urban densification.
