	Chapter 6 - Municipal Land Management in Asia: A Comparative Study
		Land banking (purchase of land reserves) is a comprehensive long-term approach including both compulsory and non-compulsory land acquisition.
		Land banking has especially been implemented in urban fringe areas where vast agricultural areas can typically be purchased at the value of current permitted land use.
		Since "the record of land banking as an instrument for acquiring and operating a public monopoly of urban land supply is not one to inspire confidence, land banking as an instrument of public-private partnership in land development is definitely preferred, if it is to be used at all" (Farvaque, 1992).

	Land Banks
		To understand why it is important to have a land bank, it is necessary to assess the costly impact of vacant and abandoned land in communities.
