Welcome back to the Shepheard-Walwyn podcast. Today we continue our exploration of the second edition of Don Riley’s classic work Taken for a Ride with a conversation with the legendary Fred Harrison. Fred worked with Don and supported his research into land value uplift and helped Don write the first edition of Taken for a Ride. In this interview, he talks about Don’s research and the specific reasons why any landowner needs to understand the impact of public investments on their properties.
Here are the time stamps:

21:30 How has new research supported Don’s conclusions?
22:30 Thanks and close.
