In this provocative book, journalist Peter Hetherington argues that Britain, particularly England, needs an active land policy to protect against record land price increases that threaten food security and housing provision for Britain’s expanding population. This important debate will attract interest among academics and postgraduates in planning, surveying, housing management, rural policy and social policy, political organisations, the Third Sector, social enterprises and community groups.
"In his thought-provoking and insightful book Peter Hetherington poses an important question about the future of Britain, do we use land for the benefit of all our citizens or for a privileged few? It is the right question to ask." Kate Henderson, TCPA Chief Executive
"Peter Hetherington breaks the extraordinary silence that surrounds land ownership and compels us to address what should be one of the great political controversies of modern Britain." Professor John Tomaney, UCL
“[Peter Hetherington] puts at the centre concerns about who owns Britain and details the consequences this can have for individuals, for communities and for society at large.” People, Place and Policy
