Summary:

"Through a comparative study of land banking in three European countries, this timely book explores the potential for land banking in the United States. Its author, a respected land-use lawyer and professor of city and regional planning, stresses, in particular, how American attitudes toward private ownership of land will affect the outcome of land bank programs. The approaches to land banking differ in Sweden, the Netherlands and France, the three nations Ann Strong has selected for review."--Jacket.
