Urban theory has long been struggling to find its feet. It has been criticised for an inclination to favour paradigmatic cities, for not being particularly inclusive or for ignoring the importance of context. The alternatives have been reproached for being particularistic, arbitrary and ignoring economic imperatives, voluntarism taking the upper hand over structural features. Or that that urban and the process of urbanisation are essentially the same everywhere. In short, we can all find our favoured critical stance. However, that does not solve the problem of balancing the need to understand the typical or singular with the importance of identifying the general or universal. Under these circumstances, how to get access to both insight and explanation? This talk, built on the twin contentions that comparability is useful and that we would do well to start in middle-range theory, focuses on an empirical phenomenon that can be found in most urban settings yet is unlikely to look the same everywhere: the nature of urban land value capture. Although neither urban political economy nor real estate economics have been oblivious to its importance, the manner in which value capture has been approached has tended to focus either on how developers can use it to attract investors or how to make, for instance, transit-oriented development financially viable. Either way, it tends to leave out the value proposition to the ultimate users – how it is created and how gains are shared – and the positive and negative externalities that are generated along the way. Putting business models centre stage, a simple analytical framework is suggested.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
