The Georgist Roots of the Community Land Trust Model
In this webinar, we will explore the historical and philosophical roots of the Community Land Trust (CLT) model, tracing its lineage to the ideas of Henry George. We will also examine how Georgist principles of land ownership and value distribution have influenced the development of CLTs and discuss their implications for contemporary housing policies.The speaker, Oriane Roty is a PhD candidate at the ICD Department, University of Tours, France. She is part of the Trust Issues Project, funded by the French Research Agency, which brings together an interdisciplinary team of researchers to study Community Land Trusts (CLTs) and their adaptation in French law. With a background in philosophy and law from the University Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, her research focuses on the origins and evolution of CLTs as a response to the housing crisis.
