Congratulate Dongsheng, Jinshuo and Guibo for receiving RTPI award
We are truly honoured to receive the Research Excellence Award from the Royal Town Planning Institute.
This paper provides compelling evidence that ambiguity in state-owned land property rights significantly increases transaction costs in China’s transit-oriented development (TOD) projects. While the constitution defines the state as the de jure (legal) owner of urban land, multiple tiers of local government share de facto (practical) control, creating institutional uncertainty that complicates land use right transfers for TOD implementation.
We look forward to continue contributing to UK planning research and practice.
