“…As Calthorpe and Fulton state, Despite the recognition that UGM instruments are multifaceted, Knaap and Nelson already noted three decades ago that, "Although UGBs are multi-objective instruments, most research on the effects of UGBs has focused on land values" [6]. This also holds true for the evaluative literature published in subsequent decades, which focuses primarily on analysing the effects of growth management strategies on land values and housing prices [7][8][9][10][11]. Additionally, there are many reviews of the effects of urban growth management on urban development patterns [12][13][14][15][16] and mobility [17,18].…”

Taking Implementation Seriously in the Evaluation of Urban Growth Management Strategies: “Safeguarding the Future” of the Antwerp City-Region

Contemporary evaluations of urban growth management (UGM) strategies often take the shape of quantitative measurements of land values and housing prices. In this paper, we argue that it is of key importance that these evaluations also analyse the policy formulation and implementation phases of growth management strategies. It is in these phases that the institutions and discourses are (trans)formed in which UGM strategies are embedded. This will enable us to better understand the conditions for growth management policies’ success or failure. We illustrate this point empirically with the case of demarcating urban areas in the region of Flanders, Belgium. Using the Policy Arrangement Approach, the institutional dynamics and discursive meanings in this growth instrument’s formulation and implementation phase are unravelled. More specifically, we explain how the Flemish strategic spatial planning vision of restraining sprawl was transformed into one of accommodating growth in the demarcation of the Antwerp Metropolitan Area, epitomised by two different meanings of the phrase “safeguarding the future.” In conclusion, we argue that, in Antwerp, the demarcation never solidified into a stable policy arrangement, rendering it largely ineffective. We end by formulating three recommendations to contribute to future attempts at managing urban growth in Flanders.

“…Urban densification itself is also argued to produce negative externalities. Densification can put pressure on existing services and infrastructure, lead to higher overall house prices if combined with urban growth boundaries or other measures increasing the scarcity of buildable land (Mathur, 2014), reduce the absolute and relative availability of open and green space in urbanised areas (Giezen et al, 2018), and even impact species richness and abundance in remaining greenspace (Vergnes et al, 2014). In addition, urban densification has been argued to be unfeasible, as often there remains a need for urban expansion (Breheny, 1996;Westerink et al, 2013), and environmental benefits are said to fall short of predictions (Westerink et al, 2013).…”

Land policy instruments are important to local governments for the implementation of densification. This article explores the factors behind local governments' motives that determine the use of specific land policy instruments to achieve densification. The aim is to increase understanding of how available land policy instruments are applied in practice by local governments to realise housing development at inner-urban locations. In-depth analysis comparing two Dutch municipalities shows that common underlying factors explain municipal land policy applications, while available instruments are used differently. Insights into these factors helps to explain local governments' behaviour regarding land policy instruments.

“…El caso más estudiado es Portland, Oregon, que implementó un PCU en 1979. Pese a que la ciudad experimentó un aumento de los precios del suelo en la década de 1990, no se ha podido probar que los aumentos en el precio de las viviendas hayan sido significativamente diferentes a los de otras ciudades de EEUU (Downs, 2002;Jun, 2006;Mathur, 2014;Phillips y Goodstein, 2000). Sin embargo, investigadores han probado también que los PCU disminuyen la oferta de vivienda de bajo costo, por lo cual las ciudades deberían especificar metas en producción de vivienda para los diversos segmentos del mercado, ya que los PCU tienen efectos diferenciados según el segmento.…”

En 1979 Bogotá implementó un perímetro de crecimiento con un aumento de los límites de altura en el centro. Estas políticas buscaban proteger la ruralidad circundante y consolidar un centro denso y de uso múltiple. Estas políticas son criticadas internacionalmente con el argumento de que aumentan el precio del suelo, sin embargo, esto puede ser compensado con el aumento en los límites de altura para no afectar los precios de la vivienda. El presente estudio analizó los límites de altura y el incremento del precio del suelo, recopilando precios históricos de diferentes fuentes y
