Yes. Land-value taxation promotes growth by having less excess burden, and by inducing more productive use of suboptimally used land. You could also force growth by taxing leisure, but that would distort choices and lead to less overall economic benefits. See the book "Land and Taxation" as well as "Land Value Taxation Around the World" (Vol 59 (5) supplement, 2000), American Journal of Economics and Sociology).
