要旨

Land use is being fundamentally transformed worldwide. Governance mechanisms
that manage land use are changing from territorial organizations to global institutions
anchored to specifi c resource fl ows between urban and rural areas. This shift refl ects
an underlying change of values attached to land, from the creation of new monetary
values to the assertion of social values. Such a revalorization has, in turn, fueled global
competition and led to governance arrangements that may appear fragmented from the
vantage point of any particular land plot. In addition, rising urbanization impacts and
refl ects governance arrangements for land use. This chapter addresses the governance
of land use in an urban era, with a focus on the emergence of global arrangements to
address land competition and the telecoupling effects that arise between coupled multiscalar
systems.
