Box 2.1 Continued
One ‘radical’ solution to wasteful land utilization
involves the three landowners, each sensitive to the
landscape’s variety and their neighbour’s skills, pooling
their talents and resources in a multiplex joint venture.
A model for such larger-scale ‘radical’ correction to
the poor land-usage syndrome is available via the
collective producer cooperative mode (Campbell and
others describing the Mondragon experience, 1977).
Of lesser utility would be the state ownership of devel-
opment rights (the Henry George approach) managed
through development licences. Then there is the
recently tried and found wanting collectivistcentrally‘C’ Radical (reformist) resolution directed alternative.
This most carefully thought-through land-use resolu-
tion combines ‘traditional’ zoning with a ‘radical’ recog-
nition of skills in a reapportionment process whereby
each specialist landowner would obtain a refashioned
land title appropriate to their landworking capability. It
would be essential with such an approach to ensure
that reapportionment ran with the title of the land and
‘D’ Radical-traditional resolution not with the life of the landowners.
