The role of property in financing infrastructure

The property industry is a major beneficiary of new transport infrastructure and, as such, the idea of attempting to ‘capture’ some of these raised values is an appealing one. Accordingly, the Social Market Foundation held a seminar in July 2003 to examine the role of property in financing infrastructure projects, and the feasibility and desirability of various options open to policymakers. This paper outlines the findings of this seminar and includes a restatement of the presentations given, a summary of the main points that emerged from discussion, and an attempt to draw all of this together to make some tentative conclusions.
