Sustainable Agricultural Water Futures in the Colorado River Basin

Prazo de inscrição: March 1, 2022 at 11:59 PM

The Babbitt Center for Land and Water Policy invites proposals for research related to the future of agriculture in the Colorado River Basin. Proposals should explore approaches to preserve the most productive agricultural lands; increase agricultural revenues and outside funding for water efficiency improvements; maximize ecosystem and economic benefits from both lands remaining in agriculture and lands going out of production; enhance the economic viability of agricultural communities despite a hotter, drier future; or facilitate mutually beneficial water sharing arrangements. Proposals should study impacts within the seven U.S. and two Mexican Colorado River Basin states.

RFP Schedule

  • February 1–March 1, 2022: Applicants are strongly encouraged to complete an informal, pre-bid consultation (contact Erin Rugland, erugland@lincolninst.edu, to schedule)
  • March 1, 2022: RFP submission due at 11:59 p.m. MST
  • April 12, 2022: Selected applicants notified of award
  • October 3, 2022: Intermediate summary/progress report due*
  • April 12, 2023: Final deliverable due*

*flexible and can operate on a shorter timeline

Proposal Evaluation

The Babbitt Center will evaluate proposals based on five equally weighted criteria:

  • Relevance of the project to the RFP’s theme of innovation for agricultural futures
  • Rigor of research methodology
  • Capacity and expertise of the team and relevant analytical and/or practice-based experience
  • Potential impact and usefulness of the project for agricultural producers, land managers, and/or agricultural communities
  • Potential for results to transfer to a variety of contexts, even if the proposal focuses on one region

Land Value Capture Approaches in São Paulo: Lessons from Brazil

Fevereiro 14, 2022 - Fevereiro 25, 2022

Free, oferecido em inglês


The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is pleased to launch a new edition of the course Land Value Capture Approaches in São Paulo: Lessons from Brazil. 

This course will explain the legal framework, mechanics, and outcomes of the pathbreaking land value capture approaches developed in São Paulo, Brazil, beginning in the 1990s. Value capture has enabled the city to harness land and real estate value increases as a way to achieve urban development goals, such as infrastructure financing and social housing provision. Lessons from Brazil can inspire and inform policy makers everywhere who are interested in innovative applications of land value capture.

Communities around the world face a massive deficit of investment in infrastructure, public services, and increasingly, climate resilience solutions. Governments have shown an interest in adopting innovative land-based financing approaches, such as value capture tools, to narrow investment gaps. To that end, value capture can enable communities to recover land value increases that result from public investments or administrative actions and reinvest them to create public benefits. The course will highlight São Paulo’s experience using the sale of development rights to pay for infrastructure, affordable housing, and other public goods.  

Learning Objectives:

  • Identify and understand the economic and planning elements that support land value capture 
  • Comprehend technical and contextual aspects of land value capture instruments used in São Paulo
  • Evaluate the results of the São Paulo experience using value capture by getting insights on projects developed through land-based financing mechanisms

Audience: 

This course will be taught in English and is designed for an international audience of researchers, real estate developers, public officials, and policy makers.

Movilización de Plusvalías y Zonificación

Março 28, 2022 - Abril 29, 2022

Free, oferecido em espanhol


Descripción

Este curso ofrece una introducción a la relación entre la movilización de plusvalías y la normativa definida por la zonificación (el conjunto de reglas urbanísticas que establecen los parámetros de uso y ocupación del suelo). Se plantean las oportunidades que ofrece la zonificación para el cumplimiento de dos objetivos centrales que las ciudades buscan: inclusión y sostenibilidad. ¿Pueden las ciudades enfrentar estos desafíos usando la zonificación? ¿Cómo? ¿Tales estrategias movilizan plusvalías? ¿En qué sentido? ¿Con qué impactos? Estos son ejemplos de preguntas que se discuten a lo largo del curso, que utiliza estudios de caso y ejercicios aplicados para tratar las temáticas mencionadas.

Relevancia

La zonificación está presente en prácticamente todos los planes de ordenamiento de las ciudades de Latinoamérica y el Caribe. Es una herramienta transversal, a diferencia de los instrumentos de recuperación de plusvalías, los cuales no siempre están disponibles en las localidades. Por esta razón, la zonificación se considera también como una herramienta más para el manejo del valor del suelo y para el cumplimiento de los objetivos de la planificación. Para los profesionales que participan día a día de la toma de decisiones que afectan el modo en que las ciudades se desarrollan, es importante examinar las consecuencias de la zonificación y comprender las repercusiones de las regulaciones urbanas.
