Abstract

The Netherlands offer a possibility to compare the financial outcome between land management models. Next to a private land management model, the Netherlands have a tradition of public land management. Often land development has a public financial deficit, leading to the research question: Is there an effect of land management models on the public financial deficit and are there different project characteristics between the land management models that cause a possible deficit? Ninety-two schemes of costs and revenues for land development were combined. Projects under different land management models were described and analyzed with 9 regression models. Public land management had a higher mean deficit than private land management. When tested in multiple linear regression models the effect of the land management model was insignificant, and differences seem to originate elsewhere. The strongest influence on the financial deficit and other costs was the size of a plan (larger projects have lower m2-costs and a lower deficit). Other than the financial deficit, projects under the two land management models showed no significant difference in share of public space, mixed land use, size (m2 + number of houses), share of affordable housing, location types, degree of urbanity, and density of the plan.
