A planning model to incorporate socially-based tenure principles
into mainstream planning. by
David Goodwin and James Berghan, New Zealand This paper
was presented at the FIG Congress in Istanbul, Turkey in May
2018. The paper focuses on socially-based tenure. The
best-planned housing developments, may nonetheless fail as
viable communities. A possible contributing factor is the manner
in which individualised tenure systems tend to divorce land
rights from social responsibilities. Recognising this, some
Māori planning initiatives in New Zealand have sought to
re-introduce key communal or socially-based tenure principles to
the planning equation. |
