Issued without a dust jacket. -- This book is the first work dedicated to the key ideas of Nobel Laureate Ronald Coase on pollution and public goods with sustainable development in mind from the perspective of an economist-town planner. The seminal contributions of Ronald Coase foretold in the form of the Coase Theorem by another Nobel laureate George Stigler have been much analyzed and often misinterpreted by friends and foes alike. In this book Lawrence Lai attempts to revisit Coase's seminal works and bring to the fore their importance in economic and urban planning policy analysis. Coase's comparative institutional approach offers an important vehicle for the analysis of pressing social issues such as sustainable development and all those interested in the creation of new platforms for performing policy analysis will welcome this important work. -- Contents: Foreword / Professor Chris Webster; Foreword / Dr Samuel R.

Lorne; Notes; Bibliography; Subject & Author Index -- This is a bold and original reinterpretation of Nobel laureate Ronald Coase's economic philosophy viewed through the applied lens of urban planning land development and sustainable policy. It stands as the first comprehensive work to integrate Coase's foundational insights - especially the Coase Theorem transaction costs and his critiques of Pigovian intervention - into a practical model for planning regulation in the 21st century. Lai both a scholar and seasoned planner presents a meticulous and empirically grounded case for reimagining spatial planning as a system of negotiated contracts rather than rigid bureaucratic control. The book opens by confronting common misinterpretations of Coase often framed as an enemy of planning. Lai instead shows how Coase - and fellow libertarians such as Hayek Popper and Friedman - endorsed environmental regulation when rooted in a clear understanding of externalities and institutional context. The second section clarifies the Coase Theorem and its misapplication offering visual models and real-world planning conflicts to demonstrate how efficient outcomes can emerge under well-defined property rights. Part III applies this to contemporary planning dilemmas from zoning to sustainability advocating for "planning by contract" - a hybrid model where public goals are realised through voluntary negotiation and innovation rather than coercive mandates. Importantly Lai's work anticipates and addresses current research in environmental economics and institutional theory. His model resonates with Elinor Ostrom's work on commons governance and aligns with calls in urban studies for more adaptive stakeholder-driven policy mechanisms. In an era of climate change housing crises and complex infrastructure needs Lai's Coasian approach offers a scalable economically coherent framework for managing competing land uses and achieving long-term social gains.
