In this special edition for Habitat III we map the future—with content on the New Urban Agenda; the 2016 Atlas of Urban Expansion, sponsored by UN-Habitat, New York University, and the Lincoln Institute; the Chesapeake Conservancy’s groundbreaking high-resolution land cover GIS; and the need for a U.S. infrastructure upgrade: a WPA 2.0.

In this issue, we feature articles on managed retreat, gentle infill, verifying green bonds, and subsidized Uber in the suburbs, as well as a policy brief on nonprofit PILOTs (payments in lieu of taxes).

In this issue, we feature articles on alternatives to a bill that would kill the school property tax in Pennsylvania, exploratory scenario planning, post-disaster recovery planning, CoUrbanize’s online community planning forum, and more.

In this issue, we debut our logo redesign and preview two important new books by Lincoln Institute program directors: A Good Tax: Legal and Policy Issues for the Property Tax in the United States, by Joan Youngman, and Nature and Cities: The Ecological Imperative in Urban Design and Planning, edited by Armando Carbonell along with Frederick R. Steiner and George F. Thompson.

In this issue, we feature articles on water as a cash crop in the West, technology cures for municipal fiscal health, and the Working Cities challenge.

This issue highlights eco-friendly and affordable manufactured homes of the 21st century; burgeoning yet illicit residential development in China; and the evolution of community land trusts from grassroots groups. It also looks at WalkYourCity.org, a digital tool intended to boost communities’ walkability; and sheds light on the impacts of land use regulations in Latin America from the perspective of an Argentinian-based urban economist.
