Land Take and Value Capture: Towards More Efficient Land Use

The paper aims to explore the possibilities enhance efficiency of land use, considering evolution take (LT), and proposes use public value capture (PVC) instruments in selected differently experienced countries. This answers two fundamental questions. How is concept LT positioned relation environmental policy Europe? Which PVC could stimulate more efficient use? aim this article identify which tools can guide transformations urban environment by promoting use. These have been identified mechanisms for capturing as they pursue goal a attractive net LT. For these reasons, initially analyzes spread problem consumption, at European level, showing how phenomenon very diversified not only between individual states, but also within each nation. In addition, knowledge system define main initiatives actions aimed orienting development direction reducing consumption highlighted. Subsequently, theoretical framework concerning issues relating planning operations illustrated. case studies representing various contexts are then introduced, dynamics were analyzed. It has done regulatory apparatus territorial governance its transformations. On basis analysis, indicators defined. Their allow comparing results that emerged from study would otherwise inconsistent. way, it possible demonstrate countries where used systemically make easier line with principles sustainable development.
