The Treasury As Developer-Capitalist? British New Town Building in the 1950s
研究了20世纪50年代英国财政部一反常态，主张由公共开发公司而非私人开发商建设新城镇中心以获取地产收益，但内部分歧阻碍了其扩大公共角色的过程。
In the 1950s the British Treasury made an unusual departure from its traditional effort to minimize government spending, arguing that publicly funded development corporations rather than private developers should build town centers in New Towns so as to reap returns from property development. Often associated with frontier growth, development gain is partly created by the state and can only emerge and be realized with the passage of time and the evolution of expectations. Divisions within the state kept Treasury officials from fully securing a greater public role in New Town center building.
