Land Policy of the Central Government for Housing Production since 1900: A Historical Study

摘要

The objective of the investigation is to increase insight in the origin and functioning of the land policy of the central government, for the housing production. It refers to three questions: (1) Which problems gave rise to interventions on the land market for housing production and subsequent changes in land policies; (2) Which were the targets of land policies for housing production; which policy instruments were used, and which were the connections with other policy fields like public health and physical planning; (3) To what extent were the objectives (the effects) of a once fixed land policy achieved, and what were the positive or negative side effects of the instruments used. What role did those involved play (government, province, municipality, private individuals, non-profit housing associations, and so on).
