Abstract

Capital gain arising from urban development in The Netherlands belongs the land owner.  The expropriation legislation is coherent with this principle, in giving the owner the right to a valuation that includes the revaluation of the land deriving from its future use.  From the end of the 1980s, when the public administration ceased practising active land a social housing policies en masse, and as a consequence the legal principles that attribute the urban development capital gain to the land owner, a rampant inflationary process has taken place in fair price expropriations.
