The Community Land Trust Reader
by John Emmeus Davis
600 pages
This reader is an excellent introduction to Community Land Trusts (CLTs), with history, case studies, technical references and anticipated hybrids. CLTs are shown to be the best way to preserve affordable housing over time and across generations, and to mitigate urban gentrification. The sweep of thought, geography and history shows the broad application of the model: from Henry George's thoughts on taxation, India's Gramadan movement, Koinonia Farms in Georgia, Dudley Neighbors in Boston, and the Woodland CLT in Appalachia, readers see the broad principles and common benefits of viewing land primarily as a trust rather than primarily viewing it as a means of speculation and profiteering.
