Abstract The market for land for single-family housing is one of the most important segments of the real estate market. Over the last several years, we have witnessed the development of this market in the suburban areas of large agglomerations. This is connected with the intensified migration of people from the centers of big cities, and with the development of housing in suburban zones. The aim of this paper is to present the structure of the territorial origin of buyers purchasing plots designated for single-family housing in Poznań and its suburbs (with division into buyers derived from the city of Poznań, from the Poznań poviat (district), the Wielkopolska voivodeship (province), the rest of the country, and from abroad). The analysis covers the years 1995-2010.

Affordable housing remains a serious problem in many countries. Even as the housing affordability crisis deepens, most cities continue to exhibit robust real estate markets with high property prices. The low-income and poor households are unable to access affordable housing and remain excluded. This paper draws from empirical research conducted in the city of San Francisco and focuses on the application of Land Value Capture (LVC) through increased Inclusionary Housing (IH) requirements after plan changes that increased density potential in San Francisco’s Eastern Neighbourhoods to evaluate its effects on the goals of increasing both affordable housing and social inclusion. Findings reveal that the increased inclusionary requirements used as LVC mechanism enabled 76.2% of all the affordable housing units produced in the Eastern Neighbourhoods to be produced by market-rate developers in 2011–2015 as compared to the rest of San Francisco, where 35.5% of the affordable units were produced from the market through inclusionary policy during the same period. The study demonstrates that upzoning underutilised land coupled with a well-planned LVC mechanism can help harness the strength of the real estate market and increase both affordable housing production and social inclusion.

The libri delle case are inventories of buildings that were produced by the pious institutions of Rome—convents, confraternities, hospitals—beginning in the second half of the sixteenth century. They are based on images—first plans, later elevations and even sections—and for that reason are different from all earlier inventories. In Visual Documents, Property Archives, and the Map of the City of Rome: 1563–1712, David Friedman discusses how the introduction of images transformed both the organization and the content of the archives. Introduced at a moment of dramatic change in the real estate market, they are the means by which the documentary record focused for the first time on the physical qualities of property. The plans document a fundamental change in the way the city itself was understood. First recorded as isolated objects, the houses of the later libri are set in increasingly wide physical contexts, reflecting a vision of the city as a continuous spatial field.

In this article we consider the theoretical and applied principles of formation of the cost of residential areas of Lviv. Some factors of supply were evaluated such as: availability of housing, the exploitaition of housing, foreign direct investments, the amount of construction works. The assessment of activity indicators of the real estate market in the regions was done. Maximum of residential real estate of the secondary market of Lviv, which were on sale in 2015, was observed in FrankIvskiy region (20.0% of all objects), because it has a high degree of intensity of functioning of the real estate market in this segment. However, in Sykhivskiy region the development of secondary real estate is retarded, despite of the significant amounts of housing. An analysis of the price indices of housing in the city allowed to the authors to identify five areas of pricing, to analyze property values of the areas of the city and to outline the reasons of differentiation. The first – Central area – includes Galitskiy array. The second – middle zone – consists of Zaliznichniy, Frankivskiy, Shevchenkivskiy and Lychakivskyi arrays and Lychakiv, Pogulyanka and the New Lviv. The third – peripheral urban area – covers Levandivka, Sriblyastiy, Veliki Kravchitsi, Znesinnia, Mayorivka, Kozelnyky, Sihiv and Sykhivskiy array Bodnarivka, Kulparkiv, Zamarstyniv and Zboyischa. The fourth – peripheral area – includes Syhnivka and Ryasne. The fifth – neighborhood peripheral zone– applies to the Lysynachi and Ryasne-2. The authors managed to create a map of the potential fields in a cost of residential development in the city. The amount of new buildings in the city’s area also was analyzed in the work. According to the forecast which was made by using analytical methods of smoothing and leveling till May 2017, prices in secondary market of all areas of Lviv will gradually decrease in average house. Naturally, the highest values in prices will occur in the central and middle areas. The reason is that the investigated territory is the historical center of the city, which has a high level of service industry. This part of city has the highest level of industrial production and sales of industrial products. It also constantly focuses on development of trade and providing the local population with qualitative goods and services. Housing prices will be the lowest in peripheral approximate, peripheral and remote peripheral areas of Lviv, which are the youngest and the most isolated among other areas of the city. There are also green areas in Lviv which are characterized by insufficient availability of social facilities. The main problem here is transport infrastructure. It needs development and improvement because the locals daily faced with serious problems both during arrival at work or school and when they return home. In the work also were conducted the calculations of tightness connection (correlation) parameters of the commissioning of housing, retail turnover volume of enterprises of direct investment, the quantity of people and the average nominal wage by an average of one full-time employee. The result of the reseach is a tight connection between the commissioning of housing and retail turnover of enterprises and average nominal wages on average one staff member. It has a linear character and it’s positive. However, direct investments and quantity of population in general are not related to the investigation process.

The construction of such a large road facility as the city beltway can not have an impact on the environment. In addition to the obvious benefits to transport, attention should be paid to the environment of the area, in particular noise and air pollution. In December 2017, the Minister of Infrastructure and Construction signed the investment program for the implementation of the northern Krakow bypass road. General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways, the Kraków branch has announced an open tender for its implementation into the EU. Today, in our tender for the design and construction of the northern bypass road of Krakow, 8 offers was received. All tenderers give the date of completion of all works within 47 months. The length of the two-lane section of the beltway is about 12 km, each roadway will have 3 lanes. The POK (North Beltway od Cracow) will run mostly in the area of the Zielonki commune, through the towns of: Zielonki, Bibice, Węgrzce, Bosutów, Dziekanowice and Batowice. The analysis carried out show a very large increase in the value of real estates located in the northern part of Krakow and adjacent areas in recent years. According to the authors, the construction of the northern beltway and easier access to the center of Krakow through the modernization of the November 29 avenue will contribute to even greater interest in real estates located in this area. Real estate prices will certainly increase, rather only at the beginning of the investment. Residents will gain the comfort of an alternative transport line, but there will also be an increase in noise and air pollution, which is a particularly important problem in and around Krakow. The article presents the validation of these three issues in relation to changes in the real estate market in the commune of Zielonki.

The approach to the cadastral value of the property is an indicator of the development of the real estate market, and therefore there are still divisions between countries preferring addictive this value from the surface and from values. The article comments on regulatory presented in selected European Union countries and presents original solution for the determination and correction of the cadastral value of the property, which is the basis to determine the property tax. About the tax character of this value, the fact that the introduction of social concern. Based on Poland, more than twenty years there has been discussion on this subject, but without regulation, there is only a discuss about the concepts of the system. The first attempts spatial analysis in order to determine the cadastral-tax areas have not yielded sufficient results, which is why the authors decided to present original solution resulting from the combination of statistical methods inclusive quantitative traits (facet surface) and qualitative characteristics (standard flat) with the characteristics of spatial (location, neighbourhood), in to determine the cadastral value of the property to eventually create the zones in cadastral-tax-zones. As an example, the property from the city Bochnia were used. The paper sought optimal zoning, to minimize variations and create homogeneous collections, which are enclosed areas, so that the weightings were small. To do this, the property housing was selected, as constituting the highest percentage of items on the market.

The relevance of the study is to determine the prospects for the development of modern urban economy, taking into account the development of the rental market. The question of the dependence of the rent on the cost of housing and the profitability of certain segments of the housing market is determined. An improved classification of different segments of housing in the modern city is given. An analysis of the cost of rent for each segment and depending on the location. Factors that significantly affect the cost of rent have been studied. Conclusions are made about the future development of the rental market in the municipal economy. In urban planning and urban planning it is extremely important to take into account the prospects and development of such a market segment as the rental market of residential real estate. The relevance of the study is to determine the prospects for the development of modern urban economy, taking into account the development of the rental market. The residential real estate rental market is a very important component for the development of the city in Kharkiv. The issue of researching the apartment rental market is relevant and will be deeply analyzed in the future. To achieve this goal, the following tasks are set in the work: Analyze the rental market. Develop an improved classification of segmentation in the residential real estate market. Conduct research on the factors that affect the cost of rent. Develop a GIS model of the impact of rental costs depending on the area of the city. Build a detailed table of the dependence of the cost of rent on the location. Investigate the interaction in the real estate rental market and sales within urban development. The rental price is influenced by the following factors: - trends of growth or decline of the general state of the real estate market as a whole; - seasonality; - the distance of the district from the city center; - the presence of a transport interchange; - ecology, in the area where the object is located; - developed infrastructure; - level of housing comfort; - the duration of the lease; - number of rooms; - the presence of repairs; - type and condition of the building in which the dwelling is located. The article examines the rental housing market. Defined rental rates: minimum, average and maximum cost. Charts of dependence of cost of rent on a segment and a location are constructed. The housing market is developing despite the unstable economic situation, the devaluation of the hryvnia and declining incomes. The cost of renting an apartment depends on the location, condition of the house, transport infrastructure and the condition of the real estate. The hotel rental market is developing very actively. In Kharkov, in most cases, buy small apartments and hotels for investment (income from further rent). With the help of GOOGLE MAP, a map of the dependence of the average cost of renting hotels and 1-bedroom, 2-bedroom, 3-bedroom apartments on the location in the areas of Kharkiv was developed.

In 1970s New York, landlords and major real estate associations argued that New York could stem the exodus of middle-income residents by creating greater opportunities for homeownership in a city that had long been dominated overwhelmingly by renters. They proposed converting middle-income rental housing into cooperatives, a process that would also enable former landlords to profit handsomely. Tenants, however, widely rejected apartment ownership, preferring the security of rent-regulated housing. This article traces the ensuing struggles between tenants, the real estate industry, and city officials over the nature of moderate- and middle-income housing in New York. The eventual success of the real estate industry enabled cooperative conversions to expand dramatically in the 1980s, but only by bargaining with tenants and activists, offering tenants noneviction plans, and discounting prices. This process helped to transform the city by underwriting a momentous turnaround in the real estate market, while signaling a larger embrace of market deregulation.
