As for the land rent, before 1997 the amount of annual rent paid by lessees was fixed and bore no relationship with increases in land value.
If lessees do not develop their land according to the lease provisions, the government has the right to take back the land, a contractual right not available to the government when land is privately owned.
Although land contracting could give the government the flexibility to control land development in detail on a case-by-case basis, it is extremely inflexible in adjusting to changes in the overall zoning plan over time.
