An unused machine sitting in the middle of a busy factory floor gets in everyone's way and quickly finds itself being thrown out so the factory can run more efficiently. An unused plot of land sitting fenced off in the middle of your city extends everyone's commute and diminishes the services available within walking distance in its neighbourhood. A municipal government interested in a functioning city will want to put that space to better use just like the factory owner did, and structure landowner incentives appropriately.
