Urban Infrastructure Investment and Rent-Capture Potentials

In a context of rapid urbanization and energy transition, massive investments will be required to develop efficient public transport networks. Capturing the increase in land value caused by transport infrastructure (for example, through a bettermen...

Simulations confirm that land value capture can finance a significant part of transport investments. The simulations also show that value capture potentials are influenced by what happens in the entire agglomeration. Simultaneous infrastructure investments in different parts of the city play a significant role, as they change overall accessibility patterns. Evolutions taking place in other cities also have a comparable influence. Non-local effects can change the total potential for land value capture and multiply this potential by as much as a factor of two. 2014-11-12T21:17:07Z 2014-11-12T21:17:07Z 2014-10 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2014/10/20300168/urban-infrastructure-investment-rent-capture-potentials http://hdl.handle.net/10986/20513 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 7067 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Group, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research Europe and Central Asia France
