1.	Evolución urbana en São Paulo: Crecimiento del empleo y localización industrial - Urban Evolution in São Paulo: Employment Growth and Industrial Location Researchers: Danilo Igliori, Ricardo Abramovay y Sergio Castelani, Universidad de São Paulo, SP, Brasil Date(s): 12/2009 - 1/2011 In this study we empirically investigate the dynamics of employment and industrial location across municipalities in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Making use of a number of indicators we demonstrate that the urban system of the State is becoming more complex and facing a considerable number of changes. In the main part of the study, spatial econometric models are estimated using the approach developed in Kelejian and Prucha (2007). Our econometric results provide preliminary evidence of the role played by...
2.	Mechanisms for Cities to Manage Real Estate Development Led by Universities and Medical Centers Researchers: Researchers: Ziona Austrian, Center for Economic Development, Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University and Jill Norton, Program Manager, Center for Economic Development, Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University Date(s): 4/2006 - 4/2007 The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy has commissioned a research paper on “Mechanisms for Cities to Manage Real Estate Development led by Universities and Medical Centers”. The working paper will eventually be a part of a larger effort of the Lincoln Institute's research and training on the role of cities in overseeing development activities undertaken by large urban institutions such as universities, colleges and hospitals.
3.	University as Real Estate Developer: Leadership for 360 degree Development: Case studies: Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Morehouse College Researchers: David Perry, Director, Great Cities Institute, University of Illinois at Chicago Date(s): 7/2005 - 3/2007 This collection of case studies will describe and analyze the role of three universities where each university assumes the role of a civic leader under different contexts but plays this role within the context of a ‘single’ city, Atlanta. Georgia State University represents the role of the university as “urban planner” in developing a master plan that serves as the first land use plan in the city. Morehouse College, on the other hand, is representative of the university as “neighborhood planner” in seeking ...
4.	The Impact of Large Landowners on Land Markets Researchers: Raphael Bostic, Associate Professor, University of Southern California, School of Policy, Planning & Development; Chris Briem, Research Assistant, University of Pittsburgh; John Brown, Professor, Dept. of Economics, Clark University; Timothy Chapin, Assoc. Date(s): 1/2006 - 1/2007 Through a request for proposal process, the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy commissioned research papers or case studies and convened a day-long seminar focusing on large landowners. In the urban context, we have in mind landowners such as universities, religious organizations, hospitals and private companies. In the non-urban and rural context, we have in mind owners such as government, State Trust Lands found in many western states in the US, resorts, recreation parks, corporate farms, watershed areas, u...
5.	Quantifying and Mapping of Land Value Increments in Property Close to Linear and Specific Urban Interventions Developed in Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla and Cartagena de Indias, Colombia and Córdoba, Argentina Researchers: Luz Dary León and Ricardo Ramírez, Bogotá, Colombia Iván Darío Cardona, Medellín, Colombia Mario Piumetto and Agrim. Graciela Loyácono, Córdoba, Argentina Milciades Romero Tautiva, Cartagena de Índias, Colombia José Manuel Rosado Reales, Barranquilla, Colombia Date(s): 12/2005 - 8/2006 The main goal of the project was to generate Digital Value Models using data collected before and after linear and point-specific urban interventions, and then, using those models to create added value maps and added value bands in which the percentage of value added was roughly uniform. The secondary goal was to compare the results of this project with the results obtained in other cities. This comparative analysis will allow us to generate a value-added model from linear and point-specific urban intervent...
6.	Research on Payment in Lieu of Taxation (PILOTS) Researchers: Pam Leland, Assistant Professor, University of Delaware Date(s): 7/2005 - 7/2006 This research focuses on the theory and practice of payments in lieu of taxation as it applies to universities and medical institutions. How are PILOTs negotiated and re-negotiated? What are the relevant models? How do exemptions such as PILOTs affect behavior of universities and medical institutions? How do PILOTs affect local government revenues? The research will be in the form of a policy focus report targeting practitioners at universities, medical institutions and local governments
7.	University Employer Assisted Housing: Models of University-Community Partnership Researchers: Joseph Hoereth, Associate Director, Great Cities Institute, University of Illinois at Chicago; David Perry, Director, Great Cities Institute, University of Illinois at Chicago; Dwan Packnett, Trinity Plus One Consultants, Inc. Date(s): 7/2005 - 7/2006 This report identifies various motivations for and common models of university EAH programs. We used this identification of motivations and models as a framework for a scan of thirty-eight programs across the country. The framework was then applied to three case studies of employer assisted housing: Case Western Reserve University, the University of Chicago, and Howard University. The purpose of this analysis is to explore more deeply and critically the potential for EAH programs to not only meet the nee...
8.	Geographic Information Systems Applied to The Management of Historical Centers Sistemas de Información Geográfica aplicados a la administración de centro Researchers: Myriam Urtubey, Buenos Aires, Argentina; Geovanna Chavez, Quito, Ecuador; Álvaro Uribe, Ciudad de Panamá; Andrea Tenorio, Recife, Brasil; Salvador Gómez Rocha, México DF, México; Oscar Borrero, Bogotá, Colombia Date(s): 12/2005 - 4/2006 The project had the following goals: Survey real-estate market data in the historical centers of Buenos Aires, Recife, Panamá, Bogotá, México DF and Quito; perform an economic and fiscal analysis, creating thematic maps to represent the markets; develop a quick and reliable method to generate 3D Virtual City models; and initiate a study of specific applications of high resolution images for urban studies. *Descripción* El proyecto tuvo como objetivos: relevar datos referentes al mercado de inmue...
9.	Database on Real Estate Development Projects Researchers: Dr. Wim Wiewel Provost and Senior VP for Academic Affairs University of Baltimore Date(s): 11/2004 - 1/2006 Database on Real Estate Development Projects Dr. Wim Wiewel is putting together a database on real estate development projects by universities in distressed urban areas, focusing on projects outside (including adjacent to) traditional campus boundaries. He would welcome information about current, recent, or planned projects from anyone.

10.	The Role of Urban Universities in Real Estate Development Researchers: Ziona Austrian, The Urban Center, Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs, Cleveland State University Five case studies of universities across the United States, outside of Ohio. It is expected that separate funding sources will support a survey of universities in Northeast Ohio, university case studies in Ohio, and other U.S. university case studies to complement the Lincoln Institute-supported research. We ask that you discuss the location of the five case studies with Roz in order that the five are unique from other Lincoln-sponsored cases. The research will use a common methodology for case selection...
11.	The City, Communities, and Universities: 360 Degrees of Planning and Development Researchers: David Perry, Great Cities Institute, University of Illinois at Chicago; and Wim Wiewel, Portland State University, Oregon The goal of this nationwide project is to enhance the collective capacity of urban leaders in higher education, civic and community sectors, and business to realize the planning and community development objectives of cities. This project has the potential of elevating the discussion and, more importantly, the practice regarding the relationship between cities and their universities to a new level. It will increase knowledge about the actual nature of these relationships, and provide a national forum for wh...
