“…The costs of social and affordable housing can be partly or fully covered by land rent, if land policies place certain conditions on development on private land. Dutch urban planning defines the location of land for social housing within urban plans (Needham 2016); German cities utilise negotiable developer obligations for conditioning development, such as by a certain percentage of social and affordable housing in newly developed areas (Vejchodská and Hendricks 2022); Spanish regions (Muñoz Gielen, Salas, and Cuadrado 2017) and Swiss municipalities (Debrunner and Hartmann 2020) define a minimum mandatory share of affordable housing to be built in newly developed areas. US municipalities that engage in inclusionary zoning, requiring a certain share of affordable housing, provide certain concessions to landowners in return for these obligations, for instance, non-financial compensation in the form of permitting higher levels of development intensity limits (Lerman 2006).…”
