Webinar: Financing Infrastructure for Cities

Cities around the world are facing a crisis of investment. An integral part of solving this challenge requires building local government capacities and providing practitioners, academics, and advisors who work with cities with leading strategies that have the potential to advance infrastructure investment in ways that contribute to sound municipal fiscal systems. Join the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy in our first Municipal Fiscal Health webinar series focused on infrastructure finance in the U.S. featuring: Dr. Julie Kim, a global infrastructure finance expert at Stanford University’s Global Projects Center with over 30 years of public-private partnerships and infrastructure consulting experience in the U.S. and Asia; and Nicole DuPuis, from the nation’s leading advocacy organization devoted to strengthening and promoting cities as centers of opportunity, leadership and governance, the National League of Cities.
