VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Government to lift paywall from large parts of the Land Registry
Exclusive: finding out who owns land will become simpler under plans to make the best use of green spaces and hit net zero targets

In his contribution to our blog, @alexdobeson.bsky.social claims that market regulation alone will not suffice to deal with land and housing crises, we also need a different valuation of land itself by considering social and environmental factors. sfb294-eigentum.de/de/blog/maki...

Welche politischen Implikationen ergeben sich aus der Art, wie Land bewertet wird? In seinem Blog-Eintrag lenkt @alexdobeson.bsky.social den Blick auf moralische, soziale und ökologische Werte, die über den rein wirtschaftlichen Wert hinaus eine Rolle spielen. sfb294-eigentum.de/de/blog/maki...

Based on our new PPRNet research briefs @tabouchadi.bsky.social, @siljahausermann.bsky.social, and I argue in The Guardian that building alone won't solve the housing crisis. Housing is fundamentally redistributive, and progressive policy must treat it as such. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The mantra of ‘build, build, build’ misses something crucial: that few can afford these new homes, say Tarik Abou-Chadi, Silja Häusermann and Björn Bremer
