It is likely to become an important resource for educators and practitioners alike. Sections will include readings on the fundamentals of land economics, feasibility analysis, education, international, development, investment, taxation and ethics. Details of publication will be announced in a later newsletter. The text is designed to meet the growing need for techniques in this area and address the existing shortfall of a suitable text with a specific focus on property. The manuscript is expected to be completed by January 1996.
Further details are available from the first author.
Over 200 delegates from 30 countries attended a superbly organised conference which provided major international contacts with leading property researchers. A civic reception at the Stockholm City Hall where the Nobel Prizes are awarded, and a boat trip and conference dinner at Waxholm were highlights. The next IRES conference is in Sarasota, Florida over April 17-19, 1997. Approximately 150 attendees from UK, Europe, USA, South Africa, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand participated in the conference. Approximately 70 papers were presented in the areas of valuation, property investment, housing economics, land use planning and development, property forecasting and market analysis.
