This is the first book that looks at how offices and office markets in cities have changed over the last 30 years. It analyses the long-term trends and processes within office markets, and the interaction with the spatial economy and the planning of cities. It draws on examples around the world, and looking forward at the future consequences of information communication technologies and the sustainability agenda, it sets out the challenges that now face investors. The traditional business centres of cities are losing their dominance to the brash new centres of the 1980s and 1990s, as the concept of the central business district becomes more diffuse. Edge cities, business space and office parks have entered the vocabulary as offices have also decentralised. The nature and pace of changes to office markets set within evolving spatial structures of cities has had implications for tenants and led to a demand for shorter leases. The consequence is a rethink of the traditional perception of property investment as a secure long term investment, and this is reflected in reduced investment holding periods by financial institutions. Office Markets & Public Policy analyses these processes and policy issues from an international perspective and covers: A descriptive and theoretical base encompassing an historical context, a review of the fundamentals of the demand for and supply of the office market and offices as an investment. Embedded within this section is a perspective on underlying forces particularly the influence of technological change. A synthesis of our understanding of the spatial structure and dynamics of local office markets at the city level. An assessment of the goals and influence of planning policies, and the evaluation of policies designed toward the long term sustainability of cities as services centres. This goes beyond standard real estate and urban economics books by assessing the changing shape of urban office markets within a spatial theoretical and policy context. It will be a useful advanced text for honours and postgraduate students of land economy; land management; property and real estate; urban planning; and urban studies. It will also be of interest to researchers, property professionals, policy-makers and planning practitioners.

Office Markets and Public Policy

An evaluation of the most enduring privatisation of the Thatcher era … Written in an accessible style, this is a key reference for students and researchers in housing and planning; geography; and social policy. The book analyses the operation and impact of the right to buy policy (RTB). It includes a critique of the Housing Act and the 2001 Housing (Scotland) Act. The enactment of these changes under a Labour government affirms the continuance of the RTB. The authors take stock of its profound effect on housing policy, reversing the growth in social housing developed over the twentieth century, transforming the nation's tenure structure and revolutionising the UK housing system. The Right to Buy: analysis and evaluation of a housing policy begins with an examination of the policy background to the establishment of the RTB and the main features of the legislation. This is followed by chapters that review its take-up and the pattern of sales and their impact on social housing; a chapter examining the financial aspects of the RTB from the viewpoints of tenants, local authorities and central government; one looking at the impact of the RTB via subsequent re-sales on the open market and on the private rented sector; and a chapter drawing on the information already reviewed to consider the potential of the RTB to create sustainable and diverse communities. In the final chapters the international experience of parallel policies are considered and the future take-up of the RTB is assessed in the light of recent reforms together with alternatives.

The Right to Buy

The Eternal Plan – Revealed' is a collection of articles that were dictated to the man called The Happy Medium, Colin Jones, by his Spirit Guides. He recorded them by means of automatic writing.
The man, the entity, as I have learned to describe him, that I knew as my father for all my life, is known to me as Colin Jones. He gave me a few carrier bags in 1999 and asked me to read the contents and write a book on it, if I could.
At that time, time did not seem pressing and I put the bags in my safe at home. He passed away a few years later on his 72 birthday, the 21st February.
I, and all our family were devastated, but I did nothing about ‘his papers’. I had no idea what to do.
I moved abroad and wrote a novel. That took five years, although it is still unpublished. In 2011, I started a new venture publishing ebooks that I had written myself.
The courage to write these ebooks had come from writing the first book. I looked for ways to circumvent traditional publishing and came across Amazon’s Kindle.
I learned how to publish my ebooks through them and realised how to publish Dad’s book.
It took me a long time, but I think that I was guided by spirit.
My Dad, Colin Jones, would never have said that these writings are his own. Rather he would say that he was inspired, in the true sense of the word. People told him what to write.
All of our family witnessed this over five or six decades. Sometimes, Dad would be sitting with us watching TV, but Dad’s eyes would be shut and he would be writing the pieces that you see in this ebook. He did automatic drawings too.
My brothers and I are very privileged to have been born with such a person, but as with most instances with parents, we realised it too late.
I hope that you enjoy this book. I will expand it in later editions.
One last point, my father’s mother, Lavinia Jones, founded a spiritualist church in Barry, South Wales, which is still going to this day.

The Eternal Plan

A fascinating analysis of the critical role commercial property investment played in the economic boom and bust during the global financial crisis The unprecedented financial boom stretching from the mid-1990s through 2008 ultimately led to the deepest recession in modern times and one of the slowest economic recoveries in history. It also resulted in the emergence of the draconian austerity policies that have swept across Europe in recent years. Property Boom and Banking Bust offers an expert insight into the complex property market dynamics that contributed to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 and its devastating economic consequences. It is the first book to focus on a woefully underreported dimension of the crisis, namely, the significant role that lending on commercial property development played in the crisis. Among other key topics, the authors explore the philosophical and behavioral factors that propelled irresponsible bank lending and the property boom; how it led to the downfall of the banks; the impact of the credit crunch on the real estate industry generally in the wake of the financial crisis; the catastrophic effects the property bust had on property investors, both large and small; and how the financial institutions have sought to recover in the wake of the financial crisis. Provides valuable insights into what happened in previous booms and busts, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s, and how they compare with the most recent one Offers an expert assessment of the consequences of the global financial crisis for the banking system and the commercial property industry Examines strategies banks have used to recover their positions and manage the overhang of indebtedness and bad property assets Addresses strategies the real estate industry have used to recover from the collapse in property values Written in an accessible style, and featuring numerous insider case accounts from property bankers, Property Boom and Banking Bust disentangles the complex, tightly-woven factors that led to the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, while offering powerful lessons for property industry professionals on how to avoid having history repeat itself.

Housing systems in many countries are now more market-oriented than ever before. This is particularly true of the UK, where there is heightened interest in the ability of the market to deliver new housing, as well as considerable debate among housing academics and policy makers over the extent to which policy instruments can be used to steer market processes. This increased market orientation means a greater understanding of market economics is needed. The challenges of providing affordable housing, while simultaneously addressing the problems of low demand housing in some areas, together with the revitalisation of neighbourhoods in need of renewal, also underline the need for a better understanding of the structure and operation of housing markets at local and neighbourhood level. This timely contribution to the field addresses the main housing and planning policy challenges in the UK today. It does so by examining the structure and operation of the urban housing system and then exploring both conceptual and empirical analyses of the workings of the market. The authors then consider the lessons for policy makers, discussing the limitations of the policy framework and considering the strategies for integrating market information into the analysis undertaken in practice. Housing Markets & Planning Policy is an invaluable advanced text for students of land economy, land management, urban planning, housing and urban studies. The authors provide a uniquely detailed analysis of an important policy area that builds on a strong theoretical basis drawn from housing economics. With the challenges posed by the instability of the housing market, it will be of particular interest to academic researchers, policy-makers and housing and planning practitioners.

"The Eternal Plan – Revealed” ist eine Sammlung von Artikeln, die dem Mann, der sich The Happy Medium nennt, Colin Jones, von seinen Geistführern diktiert wurden. Er hat sie mit Hilfe des automatischen Schreibens aufgezeichnet.


Der Mann, das Wesen, wie ich gelernt habe, ihn zu beschreiben, den ich mein ganzes Leben lang als meinen Vater kannte, ist mir als Colin Jones bekannt. Er gab mir 1999 ein paar Tragetaschen und bat mich, den Inhalt zu lesen und ein Buch darüber zu schreiben, wenn ich könnte. Damals schien die Zeit nicht zu drängen und ich legte die Tüten in meinen Safe zu Hause. Er verstarb ein paar Jahre später an seinem 72. Geburtstag, dem 21. Februar. Ich und unsere ganze Familie waren am Boden zerstört, aber ich unternahm nichts wegen 'seiner Papiere'. Ich hatte keine Ahnung, was ich tun sollte. Ich zog ins Ausland und schrieb einen Roman. Das hat fünf Jahre gedauert, obwohl er immer noch unveröffentlicht ist. Im Jahr 2011 begann ich ein neues Unternehmen, das ebooks veröffentlicht, die ich selbst geschrieben hatte. Der Mut, diese ebooks zu schreiben, war aus dem Schreiben des ersten Buches entstanden. Ich suchte nach Möglichkeiten, das traditionelle Verlagswesen zu umgehen und stieß auf Amazons Kindle. Ich lernte, wie ich meine ebooks über sie veröffentlichen konnte und erkannte, wie ich Dads Buch veröffentlichen konnte. Es hat lange gedauert, aber ich glaube, dass ich vom Geist geführt wurde. Mein Vater, Colin Jones, hätte nie gesagt, dass diese Schriften seine eigenen sind. Vielmehr würde er sagen, dass er inspiriert wurde, im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes. Menschen sagten ihm, was er schreiben sollte. Unsere ganze Familie hat das über fünf oder sechs Jahrzehnte miterlebt. Manchmal saß Papa mit uns vor dem Fernseher, aber seine Augen waren geschlossen und er schrieb die Stücke, die Sie in diesem Buch sehen. Er machte auch automatische Zeichnungen. Meine Brüder und ich sind sehr privilegiert, mit einer solchen Person geboren worden zu sein, aber wie in den meisten Fällen mit Eltern, haben wir es zu spät erkannt. Ich hoffe, dass Ihnen dieses Buch gefällt. Ich werde es in späteren Ausgaben noch erweitern. Ein letzter Punkt: Die Mutter meines Vaters, Lavinia Jones, gründete in Barry, Südwales, eine spiritistische Kirche, die bis heute besteht.
