Pre-application engagement should lead to high quality and appropriate development schemes being granted planning permission more quickly. Early, collaborative discussions between developers, public sector agencies and the communities affected by a new development can help to shape better quality, more accepted schemes and ensure improved outcomes for the community. Representatives of all those groups most involved in these discussions have come together to agree a set of commitments that all the sponsors have committed to. These commitments set out the positive spirit that should be embodied in pre-application engagement and the arrangements that should make early exchanging information and advice better value for all.

Covering 111 major established and emerging business hubs across the globe, the City Momentum Index measures a city’s short-term socio-economic and commercial real estate momentum. However, city momentum involves far more than just raw GDP growth – it is also about speed of adaptation, the speed of innoation and the creation of cutting-edge new businesses. And it further entails capturing the dynamics of a city’s real estate market – rates of construction and absorption, price movement and the attraction of a city’s built environment for cross-border capital and corporations. This paper, from Jones Lang LaSalle, reviews which cities around the globe top this list.

Housing is an important component of both a household’s net worth and aggregate national wealth or stock of residential capital. Aggregate residential wealth is the sum of the values of all housing units. In Brazil, residential structures represent about one-third of total net fixed capital, so their value is important for economic and social policy. This analysis asks: What variables determine the stock values of residential property? How do location and neighborhood conditions affect these values? What is the aggregate residential wealth in the Rio de Janeiro Metropolitan Region (Metro Rio)? What is its distribution among household income and housing value groups? In other words, what generates residential wealth? How much residential wealth is there? Who holds it? Where is it located? This article appears in the January 2014 issue of Land Lines.

The International Property Measurement Standards Coalition (IPMSC) was formed on 30 May 2013 after meeting at the World Bank in Washington DC. The Coalition aims to bring about the harmonisation of national property measurement standards through the creation and adoption of agreed international standards for the measurement of office, residential, industrial and retail property. This Consultation Document for the measurement of offices is the first prepared by the Coalition’s Standards Setting Committee. The aim of the Coalition is to enable properties to be measured on a transparent basis that promotes market efficiency through greater confidence between investors, occupiers and funds. The growth of cross‐border property investment and expansion by global corporate occupiers underpins the demand for transparency against the background of many differing national and local measurement conventions. Comments are requested by 4 April 2014.
