Now in paperback, Green Development analyzes the evolution of the
concept of "sustainable development," and assesses how this can be
applied in the real world. William Adams questions the established
understanding of the problems of environment and development, stressing the
inadequacy of a narrow view of environmental impacts and a limited response
based on traditional conservation measures. He bridges the gap between
environmentalism and development studies and argues that the central focus of
"green development" should be on the needs of the poor, and their
capacity for control, power, and self-determination.

valuation. Neurocomputing, Volume 71(Issues 4-6), 7/9/08.
Although property valuation models have become an important paradigm in real
estate market research, the results of the most well-known approaches are
limited due to various data-related problems such as the non-linearity of
relationships, the presence of noise, or the absence of necessary information.
This paper focuses on overcoming these obstacles. We introduce an automated
system for property valuation that combines artificial neural network models
with a geographic information system, and both tools have shown their potential
usefulness in the field of economic research. The artificial neural network
models used in this work are the multilayer perceptron, the radial basis
function, and Kohonen's maps. Keywords: Artificial neural networks; Geographic
information systems; Housing prices

There is general agreement that environmental and social features, particularly
those improving health and productivity of workers, will impact on the
functionality of investment property. However there has been a range of
opinions on whether this impact can currently be quantified through a valuation
exercise (Lutzkendorf and Lorenz (2005), Sayce, Ellison and Smith (2004)). This
paper examines the current literature on the assessment of the impact of
environmental and social characteristics and the ability to assess the triple
bottom line of investment property. It adds to the debate on the possible need
for advanced techniques to assess the triple bottom line and identifies the key
performance indicators that require measurement. The importance of post
occupancy evaluations, the analysis of the current rental market and life cycle
assessments, are identified as important components of the evaluation process.
The paper also incorporates a triple bottom line case study assessment in
Brisbane, Australia, which demonstrates the ability of the cash flow approach
to assess the worth of environmental and social characteristics. In conclusion
the paper identifies the additional data and research required to assess the
worth of investment property using a triple bottom line approach. Keywords:
sustainability, triple bottom line, appraisal, environmental benchmarks, market
value, social indicators, cash flow valuation, simulation.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION". Proceedings of the Pacific Rim Real Estate
Society (PRRES) Conference, January, Retrieved from http://www.prres.net/papers/Boyd_The_Triple_Bottom_Line_Approach.Pdf
The utility of enclosed space is the basic performance measure for built
assets. Historically these assets have been assessed on the ability of the
occupier to pay for the space, resulting in an expression of the financial return
from the investment. This concept is being expanded today by astute investors
who are taking account of longer-term considerations, and, in particular, the
sustained optimal utility of the space. This paper is concerned with the
development of triple bottom line performance benchmarks for operational built
assets. Specifically it maps out the conceptual changes taking place from
short-term financial agendas to longer-term economic, environmental and social
considerations. While reasonable progress has been made developing
environmental rating systems for building design and operation, significantly
less work has been done identifying and measuring the social factors relating
to built assets. With this in mind, particular emphasis is placed on the identification
and measurement of the most relevant social issues. The case study research of
the CRC-CI project on ‘The Evaluation of the Functional Performance of
Commercial Buildings’ is outlined, and the complementary work of other leading
researchers in this field is reviewed. Finally, avenues for further research
are suggested. Keywords: Social indicators, efficiency, environmental
benchmarks, evaluation, cultural issues

Rehabilitation Expenditures: A Panel Data Approach". Journal of Real
Estate Research, 28(4), 349-379.
Using a panel data set, a hedonic model is estimated to determine the
characteristics of buildings that have influenced the market value assessments
of a set of historic and non-historically designated buildings. Holding
constant the characteristics of buildings, the findings indicate higher
assessed values for some classes of historic buildings. Furthermore, using a
two-stage Heckman sample selection model, the findings show that the
expenditures on renovations contribute significantly to the change in assessed
values of buildings, although less than might be expected. These and other
results may be helpful in the design of cost effective rehabilitation
strategies for historic preservation. ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR Copyright of Journal

Geoghegan, J. "The value of open spaces in residential land use". Land use
Policy, 2008(7/9/2008)
The preservation of open spaces has become an important policy topic in many
regions. Policy tools that have been used include: cluster zoning; transferable
development rights; proposed land taxes to fund purchases of remaining open
spaces; and private organizations that buy land. This paper develops a
theoretical model of how different types of open spaces are valued by
residential land owners living near these open spaces, and then, using a
hedonic pricing model, tests hypotheses concerning the extent to which these
different types of open spaces are capitalized into housing prices. The
empirical results from Howard County, a rapidly developing county in Maryland,
USA, show that “permanent†open space increases near-by residential land values
over three times as much as an equivalent amount of “developable†open space.
This methodology can be used to help inform policy decisions concerning open
space preservation, such as effectively targeting certain areas for
preservation, or as a means of creative financing of the purchase of
conservation easements, through the increase in property taxes, resulting from the
associated increase in property values. Author Keywords: Open space; Land
preservation; Hedonic models

A survey of 23 industry practitioners from the development and finance fields
yields a number of important conclusions regarding the financing of New
Urbanism projects. First, these projects are perceived as generally riskier
than typical real estate projects; their multiple-use nature is the basis of
that perception. For urban infill projects, the perceived risk is low, while
for suburban projects, the perceived risk is high. The relatively high
perceived risk for most New Urbanism projects imposes relatively high required
rates of return, which in turn require these projects to generate cash flow
quickly to be financially attractive to investors. In addition, the development
of multiple uses—or multiple product types—in a single project is viewed as
inherently more difficult to evaluate and implement. Financiers consequently
favor larger, more experienced developers for multiple-use projects in general
and New Urbanism projects

Philosophy: Green Building in Pima County".
Pima County has been facing dwindling water supplies for some time, a situation
exacerbated by the current drought. As such, water conservation measures beyond
the levels promulgated by the federal government and currently adopted code
need to be enacted to preserve the future of our desert environment. However,
water resources cannot be regarded in isolation as they are inextricably
related to other resources such as energy. Each kWh of thermoelectric
generation requires approximately 25 gallons of water with additional amounts
used for operating pollution control devices. The U.S. Geological Survey
estimates that in 2000, 346 billion gallons of freshwater were used per day in
the U.S accounting for approximately 39% of total freshwater withdrawals. While
only 3% of these withdrawals are actually consumed by the generation process,
it still accounts for approximately 10.4 billion gallons per day in 2006. Hence
low performance buildings and the manufacture of building materials requiring
large amounts of energy contribute indirectly to taxing our water resources.

Green building - the construction of buildings designed to minimize
environmental impact and resource use - has become significantly more common in
the past decade. Many local and state governments have enacted policies
designed to stimulate green building. These policies generally include
information provision and subsidies for private green development as well as
outright greenness requirements for all government buildings. Despite this
commitment from government and despite substantial evidence that green
buildings are financially beneficial for private owners, the private sector has
been very slow to embrace green building. This Note argues that barriers to
innovation in the real estate industry have rendered ineffective these local
government attempts to stimulate green building, and suggests that impact fees
- fees imposed by local governments on land use development - will be more
successful in pushing private real estate developers to build green. Although
the use of these fees is subject to both state and federal constitutional
constraints, an appropriately designed fee can maximize the effectiveness and
efficiency of this proposal while also ensuring that the fees are
constitutional.

disaggregate assessment". Journal of Urban Economics, 54(2), 218.
doi:10.1016/S0094-1190(03)00059-7
In this paper, we attempt a formal analysis of the virtues of new urbanism, a
movement hailed as the most significant movement in urban planning and
architecture in this century. We proceed using the tools of Geographic
Information Systems (GIS) to develop quantitative measures of urban form. We
then incorporate those measures in a hedonic price analysis. We find that our
measures of urban form capture meaningful differences in the characters of
urban neighborhoods that could well have direct impacts on the utility of urban
residents. Further, we find that such differences are capitalized into
residential property values. The results imply that some but not all of the design
features of new urbanism provide benefits for which urban residents are willing
to pay. Author Keywords: New urbanism; Housing price; Urban form; Quantitative

of Property Investment and Finance, 24(5), 400-433.
Purpose ? Property returns are normally measured against the target rate for
similar investments with comparable risks and liquidity. However, this analysis
is normally undertaken in nominal terms and thus the risk of inflation, as it
affects different investments, is not fully quantified. This paper seeks to
analyse the effect of inflation on property investments.
Design/methodology/approach ? This article examines the impact of inflation on
gilt returns and relates this to property risk. Findings ? Investors may take a
more pessimistic view of future inflation as an investment risk than the
current official indices would indicate. In this context it may be that retail
price index (RPI) and index adjusted for mortgage payments (RPIX) are not
reliable indicators of inflation risk. It has been suggested that the
difference between the two species of gilts as ?a calculation of inflation
expectations should be regarded with suspicion because of the volume of index
linked bonds is so small that individual trades can move the market?. Practical
implications ? Economists and financial advisers and commentators have long
recognised that inflation, in the sense of the tendency of the value of a
currency to decline in purchasing power, distorts the picture of the worth, not
only of individual assets but also of the whole economy. In this respect
investment advisers often, in presenting their arguments, use yields that are
net of the rate of experienced inflation taken from the performance of the RPI
or the RPIX. Unless there is an understanding of the risk of inflation on
property investments, such net rates may be misleading. Originality/value ?
This study adds to the literature exploring the effect of inflation on property
returns.

Jurisdictions across the United States are finding out as they enact laws and

Governments at all levels are promoting the standards, known as Leadership in
Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) as a one-size-fits-all strategy to make
government buildings more environmentally friendly. Ironically, the standards
were not designed to be used this way. LEED mandates are likely to raise the
costs of housing for consumers as well as increase tax burdens of citizens in
cities and towns that rigidly apply LEED to public projects.

executives". Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental
Management, 9999(9999)
Property is an important part of modern economies with significant social and
environmental consequences. As a result, practitioners and scholars have begun
focusing on the social responsibility and sustainability of property investors.
This paper expands that work by examining Responsible Property Investing among
investment organizations in the United States. Responsible Property Investing
is defined as efforts that go beyond compliance with minimum legal requirements
to better manage the environmental, social, and governance issues associated
with property investing. A survey of senior American executives finds that most
organizations are going beyond compliance, implementing management strategies
and investing in properties that are consistent with Responsible Property
Investment principles. Most executives also place their organization beyond
compliance in a Responsible Property Investing stage model. Business concerns
are the leading drivers and impediments. Among the various types of
organizations studied, pension funds, foundations and endowments lag behind others
in implementing Responsible Property Investing. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley
& Sons, Ltd and ERP Environment.

Delphi Method". Building Research & Information, 36(1), 20. doi:10.1080/09613210701574795
This paper helps define responsible property investing (RPI) by using the
Delphi Method to prioritize criteria for the evaluation of property
investments. An international panel from the real estate and social investing
sectors evaluated 66 criteria in terms of materiality to investors and
importance to the public interest. A moderate to strong level of consensus was
achieved. Criteria were ranked in terms of their materiality for financial
performance and their importance to the public interest. Top ranked criteria
were energy efficiency and conservation, high level of public transport
services, transit-oriented development, daylight and natural ventilation, and
contributes to higher density, mixed-use walkable places. There were few to no
significant differences among the panellists by industry, gender or
nationality. Factor analysis uncovered ten dimensions underlying the criteria.
Based on this analysis, the panel would emphasize the creation of less
automobile-dependent and more energy-efficient cities where worker well-being
and urban revitalization are priorities. Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design (LEED) green building rating tools were compared with the results and
found to be much stronger on environmental criteria than social concerns. The
results can guide RPI portfolio audits, database development, third-party
assessments of property companies, strategic consulting, the development of
corporate reporting standards, RPI certification procedures, updated green
building assessment tools, and cost-benefit studies to help guide asset
managers.

Mixing land uses has become one of the key planning principles of the Smart
Growth movement and other land use planning strategies. This article analyzes
the impact on the prices of single family houses when mixed land uses are
included in neighborhoods. We first develop several quantitative measures of
mixed land uses through the use of Geographic Information System (GIS) data and
compute these measures for various neighborhoods in Washington County, OR. We
then incorporate those measures in a hedonic price analysis. We conclude from
this research that housing prices increase with their proximity to—or with
increasing amount of—public parks or neighborhood commercial land uses. We also
find, however, that housing prices are higher in neighborhoods dominated by
single-family residential land use, where non-residential land uses were evenly
distributed, and where more service jobs are available. Finally, we find that
housing prices tended to fall with proximity to multi-family residential units.

Green building is no longer the passion of a few; it is the new standard for
commercial and residential developments alike. Green design is an undisputed selling
point, remarkably enhancing commercial and residential project value. Green
building practices reduce the tremendous impact that building design,
construction, and maintenance have on both people and nature The concept of
environmentally friendly real estate is so ubiquitous today that green can be
used to describe building without concern that readers will think it refers to
the color of a structure.

Wiley, J. A., Benefield, J. D., & Johnson, K. H. "Green Design and the Market
for Commercial Office Space".
This paper considers the relationship between energy-efficient design and the
leasing/sales markets for commercial real estate. An economic model is provided
that considers lease rates and occupancy in simultaneous equilibrium. The
behavior of both is predicted to be influenced by efficient design attributes.
Selling price is determined by both rents and occupancy; therefore the impact
of efficient design on commercial sales activity should be distributed through
the leasing market. The model is tested empirically using a national sample of
sales and leasing data for class A office buildings. The evidence indicates
that “green†buildings achieve superior rents and sustain significantly higher
occupancy. The improved performance in the rental market is reflected in a
significant premium for the selling price of Energy Star-labeled and
LEED-certified properties.
