Urban redevelopment or renewal involves improvement of the physical environment and its quality. A proper evaluation of urban re- development cannot, therefore, be undertaken without also considering the overall fiscal impact of the various programmes on the community. Since the size of such redevelopment must be limited under Indian conditions be- cause of budgetary restraints on subsidized ventures – apart from the initial outlay needed to pay compensation for acquiring high-cost land in congested localities – it is to be considered whether a better course of action would not be to limit public expenditure for improving the environmental facilities of the blighted areas, rather than trying to clear these.
Financing Tools of urban redevelopment are
Value Capture Financing (VCF) is a type of public financing that acts as a tax collection mechanism and aims to recover part or full of the value that public infrastructure generates for private landowners. It owes to act as a funding source for urban investment
Appropriate VCF tools can be deployed to capture a part of the increment in value of land and buildings. In turn. these can be used to fund projects being set up for the public by the Central/ State Governments and ULBs. This generates a virtuous cycle in which value is created. realized and captured. and used again for project investment.

Various methods of Value Capture have been used by the Rajasthan state :
Urban Land Tax Section 20 Notification -Government of Rajasthan. Local Self Government.
Urban Development & Housing Department
Tax on Conversion of Land Section 90-A of Rajasthan Land Revenue Act, 1956
Development Charge/Impact fees Section 106 Rajasthan Municipalities Act.2009
TDR and Incentive FSI : Policy of TDR –Rajasthan- 2012
Premium on relaxation of rules or additional FSI : RTIDF betterment levy on premium FAR along the two metro corridor for height upto FAR of 4 rather then 1.33
Nagpur proposes to plan and develop intense TOD zones around metro stations in the ABD by land pooling and readjustment, alternatively called as Town Planning Schemes (TPS). The Smart City Plan proposes to use TPS in the site under the following arrangement- 23
• For un-built plots, the authority will appropriate 40% and return 60% of the land to the owner
• In the rare case where a built property is impacted, the owner shall be compensated in any of the following manners-
• land at an alternate location within the TPS area
• Increased FAR
• Transfer of Development Rights
