Real Estate Insights Strategic planning policy post-pandemic: the “Great Land Question”

John Ratcliffe

Journal of Property Investment & Finance, 2021, vol. 40, issue 2, 249-262

Abstract: Purpose - This paper aims to explore the case for the radical reform of land policy worldwide. It does so, however, in the context of present problems posed by the prevailing coronavirus pandemic. It is a strategic study, not a scientific analysis and is oriented towards the field of the built environment in general and the real estate industry in particular. Design/methodology/approach - Although it draws on concepts of land management long extolled and covers concerns currently circulating about the prospects for urban planning and property development post-pandemic, the synthesis is original. Findings - The concluding counsel is that land policy reform, being a component factor of so much of society's endeavours, should figure far more prominently across the political platforms of the world. Practical implications - Most of the material regarding the “Great Land Question” is based on findings from countless strategic foresight studies conducted by the author over the past 25 years and re-assessed in light of the pandemic. If correct, the practical implications will be significant. Originality/value - This is a review of existing models.
