The book also includes statutes and related materials, making it an indispensable learning reference for readers who lack access to original U.S. materials. This book is widely used as a teaching text for land management law courses in top U.S. law schools such as Harvard and Yale, with authors being renowned professors with extensive theoretical knowledge and rich practical experience. The book elaborates on the entire process of land development, management, and sales, the rights and obligations between entities in land use management, and the legal consequences of land use management. The third edition adds: a comprehensive economic and legal analysis of land use management from historical and social perspectives; an examination of population trends, the formation of transaction customs, land financing, and other issues; and an analysis of environmental liability and the role of government in urban planning.
