‘Alhoewel dit boek primair geschreven lijkt te zijn voor een wetenschappelijk publiek, is het zeker ook interessant voor planologen die werkzaam zijn in de praktijk. […] Één van de meest interessante aspecten van het boek is dat ook de hier minder bekende planningspraktijk in Japan, Korea, en Italië wordt belicht.’- Erwin van der Krabben (Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen), S&RO 04/2009 New Instruments in Spatial Planning addresses the topic of transferring development opportunities between areas in planning practice by a debate between academics, lawyers and planning practitioners at an international planning symposium in Annapolis, MD, USA and the Van Doorne-Habiforum conference on Transferable Development Rights a year later. The idea of transferring development opportunities between areas is more than only the transfer of development rights. It relates more to compensation: not in money, but in a non-financial perspective. A comparative study on non-financial compensation was started, funded by Habiforum and linked to a number of research projects, such as Van Der Veen’s and Spaans’ research funded by the Delft Centre for Sustainable Urban Areas and Janssen-Jansen’s research funded by the Dutch Scientific Organization NWO-STIP. The chapters in this publication are representative of a close cooperation between planners, economists and lawyers from both science and planning practice. The exchange of knowledge within the framework of this book has arisen from divergent paths.
