If you are not from the UK, you have a chance to help develop Value Mapping (the mapping of property and land values) in Britain, by sharing your experience with others in the project described here resulting from a pilot survey of members of the Federation Internationale Geometrique (FIG - the World Congress of Surveyors) in 2002.
If having read the paper, you would like to take part in the main survey, again with the help of FIG - who may have directed you here - please download the form (Appendix B to the paper) and return it, when completed, by email to tonyvickers@landvaluescape.org
