DESCRIPTION:Barrie Needham (1942) graduated in 1964 from the University of
  Cambridge with a part II economics degree. He worked with a planning cons
 ultant in London\, then taught at the (then) Polytechnic of Central London
 . Between 1970 and 1977 he was a lecturer at the University of Aston in Bi
 rmingham and at the beginning of 1978 he moved to the Netherlands for a po
 st at the University of Nijmegen. In 1982 he was awarded his PhD there\, i
 n 1994 he was promoted to professor of spatial planning\, in 2007 he retir
 ed\, and he now has the status of emeritus professor.\nThe combination of 
 two circumstances – brought up with the English planning system and work
 ing with the Dutch planning system\, and a degree in economics and working
  in land-use planning – has greatly affected his teaching and research. 
 This has centered on the relationship between land and property on the one
  hand\, and on the other hand attempts by the government to influence – 
 by land-use planning among other things – how land and property are used
 . Much of his research into this has been done with researchers from other
  countries\, in the form of comparative research. In the Netherlands he ha
 s been consulted many times by the central government for advice about cha
 nges in legislation for planning and for land policy.\nHis two most recent
  book (in English) are:\n‘Planning\, law and economics’ (London: Routl
 edge 2006)\n‘Dutch land use planning’ (The Hague: Sdu publishers\, 200
 9)\nIn 2010 there will be published in Urban Studies ‘Institutions in th
 eories of land markets’ (written together with Segeren and Buitelaar).\n
