The Value of Place: Exploring Regional Development and Land Use Strategies ✨ 🌱

Edited by Frank Moulaert, (KU Leuven, Belgium) and Abid Mehmood (Cardiff University, UK)

This perceptive book explores the complex relationship between land use and regional development. It emphasizes the importance of land as a host for ecological, social, and cultural values, challenging the conventional view that it is exclusively an economic commodity or tradeable asset.💡 📖

‘Struggles around land are one of the oldest and most enduring conflicts in human history. This timely and compelling book assembles state-of-the-art research and prominent scholars to explore the multidimensional issues at the heart of land-based conflicts. Key themes addressed in the book include: the commodification of land in different modes of capitalist development, the interplay of land use, nature conservation and public services, and the multilevel and participatory governance structures that are needed to fashion models of socio-ecological development that serve the interests of people and planet rather than private profit. This book will be essential reading for every discipline in the social sciences as well as for post-disciplinary students and scholars.’
