Edward H. Ziegler. "Transfer Development Rights in the United States", Liverpool Law Review xviii.2 (1996), 147-166: This paper surveys the utilization of transfer development rights by local governments in the United States as a selective regulatory technique to control the development rights of private owners. Transfer development rights are examined in the context of downtown redevelopment, preservation of open space, farmlands, environmentally sensitive areas, and historic protection and landmark preservation. Legal issues in the United States related to transfer development rights programs are examined. Particular emphasis is given in the paper to the relationship between the grant of transfer development rights to private owners and constitutional inverse condemnation claims by private owners whose lands are severely restricted by government regulation. e-mail: EZIEGLER@ADM.LAW.DU.EDU
