Terra Incognita: Vacant Land and Urban Strategies (American Governance and Public Policy series)
"Terra Incognitais in many ways the ideal kind of planning book. It's brief; it deals with an important but little-examined aspect of urban life; and it suggests practical ways to improve it." --Planning"An absolutely first-rate piece of work... presents a powerful but easily comprehensible model for understanding the complex strategic interactions of land development possibilities, alternative sources of tax revenue, and urban political economy." --Evan McKenzie, associate professor of political science, University of Illinois at Chicago, and author ofPrivatopia: Homeowner Associations and the Rise of Residential Private Government
