[sustran] The Train - Capturing the value of . . .

[eric britton]

Dave Wetzel has this morning passed on this URL --
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47Jb-rlXJYg  -- which will take you to a 5
minute clip produced by Fred Harrison. It looks into the anomaly hereby
taxpayers finance infrastructure investments that create high value, that
are captured not by the public as a whole but by the lucky individual
landowners whose real estate values rise, often hugely, as a result of these
public investments.

 

This is the whole concept in a nutshell of Value Capture, a valuable tool
which is not being used or even much talked about, other than in exceptional
circumstances,  

 

Bottom line: Value Capture is a key element of the New Mobility Agenda
strategy. Every public investments  So we all will do well to learn more
about it and push the idea when the opportunity arises.
