The outcome of this study comprises recommendations for more viable strategies and policies that land value captures offers to finance urban regeneration. Furthermore, this study highlights the opportunities and barriers in implementing LVC. The study area is confined to Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur as a case study. The outcome of this study comprises recommendations for more viable strategies and policies that LVC offers to finance urban regeneration.
