Community Resilience Through Small Scale Manufacturing

Maio 3, 2023 | 12:00 p.m. - 1:30 p.m.

Free, offered in inglês

Moderator: Sarah Yeung, Principal, Sojourner Consulting
Speakers: Derek Santos, Executive Director, New Bedford Economic Development Council, Lars Kuehnow, Program Officer LISC, Duluth, Misty E. Beasley, Regional Director MBAC, Akron Urban League, and Audra Ladd, Co-Director, Urban Manufacturing Alliance 

Watch the recording

Smaller legacy cities share common challenges that have increased the urgency for economic development strategies.  In these places, small-scale manufacturing is a strategy that has produced early results and demonstrated strong potential for supporting local economic growth.

In late 2022, The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the Urban Manufacturing Alliance published a working paper that highlights models across three case study cities of Akron, Ohio; Duluth, Minnesota; and New Bedford, Massachusetts, that are utilizing an ecosystems approach that helps small manufacturing businesses start and scale where they are.

This is an unprecedented time in manufacturing, with once-in-a-lifetime federal investments being made in the sector. The working paper combines examples of small-scale manufacturing strategies for implementation in order to offer a sense of possibility for smaller legacy cities, arguments to support advocacy for local small-scale manufacturing, and leads to start developing such ecosystems for peer cities—all of which could be supported with increased investment.

This webinar offers a practical introduction to small-scale manufacturing as part of a strategy for inclusive community economic development and features speakers from each of the three cities.

In the webinar, presenters:

  • discuss examples of ongoing small-scale manufacturing strategies that smaller legacy cities can implement;
  • provide examples of how to support advocacy for local small-scale manufacturing;
  • discuss how other cities can start developing their own manufacturing ecosystems; and
  • examine ways small-scale manufacturing intersects with sustainability and racial equity.

Research on Land-Based Financing Approaches for Climate Action

Submission Deadline: March 23, 2023 at 11:59 PM

Application Guidelines

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy invites proposals for original research that examines opportunities for, and challenges with, implementing land-based financing (LBF) instruments, including land value capture, to promote and fund climate adaptation, mitigation, or resiliency measures, with a focus on equity, urban form, and nature-based solutions. The research should help inform practitioners, policy makers, and decision makers.   

The geographic focus of this RFP is global. Proposals will be reviewed competitively according to the weighted evaluation criteria indicated below. Outputs are expected to result in working papers appropriate for publication. 

Research Themes 

The following issues and themes are of interest to the Lincoln Institute, but the list is not exhaustive, and applicants may submit a proposal that addresses other topics or issues. However, the proposal must consider LBF as a tool for climate action by addressing the following: 

  • The necessary enabling conditions for the use of LBF for climate action, including but not limited to, market conditions, public perception of risk, and the pricing of climate risk in land markets 
  • The legal, regulatory, and institutional considerations for using LBF for climate action, including informal or nontraditional forms 
  • The types of climate action, including infrastructure investments and regulatory action, that have the greatest potential for the application of LBF 
  • Temporal considerations for LBF for climate action (e.g., charges for long-term benefits of climate action or the timeframe for realizing land value increments). 
  • Innovative uses of LBF for climate action 
  • The potential nonrevenue-related benefits of LBF for climate action, such as equity 
  • Unintended outcomes (positive or negative) of the approaches, with an emphasis on equity 

Proposals 

Proposals must be submitted online via the web-based application form and must follow the complete RFP guidelines. Proposals submitted by email or mail will not be accepted. Incomplete proposals, proposals received after the due date, or proposals that do not adhere to the format defined in the guidelines will not be accepted.   

Proposals must be submitted in English. The final work produced pursuant to the RFP (if selected for an award) must be in English. 

Evaluation Criteria 

The Lincoln Institute will evaluate proposals based on the following criteria: 

  • The project’s relevance to the RFP’s theme of land-based finance tools for climate action: 35 percent 
  • Rigor of proposed methodology: 25 percent 
  • Potential impact and usefulness of the research for practitioners: 25 percent 
  • Capacity and expertise of the team and relevant analytical and/or practice-based experience: 15 percent

Peking University–Lincoln Institute Center Celebrates 15th Anniversary

By Katharine Wroth, Novembro 28, 2022

 

This fall marked the 15th anniversary of the Peking University–Lincoln Institute Center for Urban Development and Land Policy (PLC). Established in 2007, the center has become a leading authority on land policy issues in China, including the property tax, municipal finance, land and housing policies, and land conservation. To celebrate this milestone, the PLC held an event on November 4 that included commemorative remarks, a formal recommitment to the partnership between the two institutions, and several academic presentations on urban development and climate change. 

“The Lincoln Institute works globally on topics largely relating to land policy, and the joint center is an exceptional platform for our China program,” said Katie Lincoln, chief investment officer and board chair of the Lincoln Institute, who delivered congratulatory remarks by video. “During the past 15 years, the center has held numerous conferences, undertaken research and demonstration projects, shared in scholarly exchanges, and happily gained recognition both in and out of China.” 

In addition to Lincoln, several current and former leaders from the two institutions joined the celebration virtually or in person, including Jin Zhang, vice president of Peking University; Jianhua Lin, former president of Peking University; Yansong Li, former vice president of Peking University; George W. McCarthy, president of the Lincoln Institute; Gregory Ingram, former president of the Lincoln Institute; and Joyce Man, former director of the PLC. 

“We are now at a difficult time of Sino-U.S. relations,” said former PKU President Lin. “But I believe that the mutual trust between our two institutions and the confidence about the value of what we do will continue to be a foundation for us to cooperate and move forward.”

During the event, Zhang and McCarthy signed an agreement for continued collaboration between the two organizations. “In the next few years, the PLC will add a new focus on land use and climate change, in support of China’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero carbon goals by 2060,” noted McCarthy. “The PLC also will help the Lincoln Institute in its global efforts to address the climate crisis. The unique cooperation between the Lincoln Institute and PKU over the last 15 years has been fruitful for China, the United States, and the world in [finding land-based solutions to] economic, social, and environmental challenges. We are excited to embark on another five-year journey together.” 

The center, which conducts research, training, policy analysis, academic exchanges, advisory services, and demonstration projects throughout China, also invited several scholars, fellowship recipients, and others who have been involved with its work over the years to share reflections.  

“I worked with PLC for more than ten years, from winning the Peking University–Lincoln Center scholarship, to guiding students to participate in the center’s fund application, to becoming a partner of the center’s work and research,” said De Tong, associate professor at Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School. “Scholars at the center have become my inspiring mentors and friends, and colleagues at the center have also become comrades-in-arms at work and friends in life.”

The center has launched an essay contest open to those who have been involved with the PLC over the years, from scholarship recipients to business collaborators to conference participants. Five winning essays, selected in January, will receive a small monetary prize; a copy of the Lincoln Institute book Infrastructure Economics and Policy: International Perspectives, coedited by José A. Gómez-Ibáñez and Zhi Liu, who leads the PLC as director of the Lincoln Institute’s China program; a copy of Advanced Economic Geography by Canfei He, dean of the College of Urban and Environmental Sciences at PKU and associate director of the PLC; and publication on the PLC website. 

The second half of the day’s events was structured as an online forum on climate change and urbanization in the context of China’s dual-carbon goal, which seeks to reach peak carbon by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. Leading policy makers and scholars from China, Hong Kong, and the United States shared their latest thoughts and studies on topics including green building, urban equity, and urban-rural integration, drawing an audience of more than 600 researchers, planners, and others.  

“The dual-carbon goal is a major challenge for China, but also presents new opportunities for China’s continuing urbanization,” said PLC Director Liu. “Urbanization and carbon net-zero has been a hot topic in China’s policy debates, which have been getting more substantive and concrete over the last two years. I found myself learning a lot from these presentations, which deepened my understanding about the challenges and opportunities that the goal of carbon net-zero will bring to our urbanization for the next few decades.” 

Forum topics and presenters included: 

  • the evolution and future of green building, by Dr. Baoxing Qiu, former Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development; 
  • carbon reduction models for commercial real estate, by Professor Siqi Zheng of the Department of Urban Studies and Planning of MIT; 
  • equity and governance under China’s dual-carbon goal, by Professor Shenjing He from the Department of Urban Planning and Design of the University of Hong Kong; 
  • carbon reduction through urban agglomeration, by Professor Ming Lu from Antai School of Economics and Management, Shanghai Jiao Tong University; and  
  • urban-rural integration and rural revitalization, by Professor Shouying Liu from the School of Economics of Renmin University.
