“…We suggest that this applies to many liberal democratic contexts, where states are sufficiently staffed and funded, but where land managers generally have less autonomy (being constrained by democratic processes and hierarchical institutional oversight). They do, however, have potentially strong control over land markets and land‐use decisions through the planning system (Booth, 1996; Canelas, 2018). In the UK, for example, planning gain provides significant leverage for realizing state interests in urban development (Thornley, 1991; Canelas, 2018).…”

“…First, local political debates about London's sometimes disturbing developments are often looking in the wrong direction—blaming developer greed and overpowering globalized actors rather than interrogating and seeking to challenge and change localized regulatory practices, planning cultures and the territorialized financial architecture of urban government and development. Secondly, in a strategic sense the stakes of the politics of the urban future, while high, and constrained by pro‐development national legislation (Colenutt et al ., 2015; Canelas, 2018), are within grasp of London's democratic processes.…”

The focus of urban politics in many contexts has shifted from municipal regimes ‘competing’ for circulating capital to a wide range of actors, including states, competing to extract value from the built environment. Analyses of the role of states in urban development therefore need to be revisited. To do this in a way which can support a global perspective in urban studies that is alert to the great diversity of state forms and urban outcomes, we propose starting not from assumed globalizing processes such as neoliberalization or financialization, in which urban politics is then brought in as ‘context’, or as ‘variegations’ on an overarching and already conceptualized process. Rather, with a comparative imagination in mind, we want to draw attention to the diversity of the politics of the extraction of value from developments, as a starting point for expanding our understanding of the role of states in urban development. The case of a large‐scale urban development in London—Old Oak Park Royal—exposes an idiosyncratic regulatory regime characterized by significant territorial fragmentation and intensifying reliance on highly delimited planning gain incomes to support all the costs of the development, including substantial infrastructure and welfare provision. This regulatory regime has direct implications for the built form, and motivates a sharp formulation of state interests and capacity in relation to value extraction. The complex negotiations between state actors and developer teams lead to a blurring of the roles of these actors in shaping built forms. In such a context, the state may assume roles and perform functions associated with securing ‘public’ benefit. But, partly in their efforts to achieve this, state actors also intensify the function of the developer to generate the resources needed to realize state interests. The case study presented invites a broader review of the role of the state in urban development.

“…Charges can be set through negotiation (Section 106 agreement in England, see Crook and Whitehead 2019), regulation (US, see Kim 2020) or even bidding (Brazil, see Sandroni, 2010). It is perceived that these financial compensations have formed new relationships between developers and planning authorities as planning authorities rely on the charges received from developers (Healey et al, 1996;Canelas, 2018).…”

I am a Teaching Fellow in Urban Design and Planning at Bartlett School of Planning. I studied in Tehran for a BSc in Built Environment Conservation and an MA in Architecture (Revitalisation of Historic Neighbourhoods), and then was awarded an MSc in Urban Regeneration (2010) and a PhD in Planning Studies (2018) by UCL's Bartlett School of Planning. Implications of density bonus tool for urban planning: relaxing floor area ratio (FAR) regulations in TehranThis article, by using empirical evidence from Tehran, looks beyond the West to explore the implications of the reliance of the entrepreneurial local government on private capital for the urban planning system. The main premise of this paper is that the financial dependence of Tehran Municipality on income generated from increasing construction density (density bonus tool) paid by developers has led to a planning that is responsive to property market interests rather than the city's strategic needs or the public interest. This paper makes a contribution to the literature of urban planning by providing a new case study of density bonus tool focused in Tehran; that allows a better understanding the issue of how municipal financial tools (such as density bonus) could affect planning decisions.
