Helping Communities to Help Themselves
Octubre 2015, inglés
Before joining the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, I covered the Detroit beat for almost a decade for the Ford Foundation. There I was able to witness firsthand the unprecedented challenges involved in reversing the fortunes of the most powerful and important U.S. city of the mid-20th century. The enormity of these challenges called forth […]

The Visual Budget Lets Taxpayers Follow the Money
Octubre 2015, inglés
An informed citizenry is an empowered one, but educating taxpayers and voters can be difficult. While most people care deeply about various community issues—such as whether to build a new library branch or provide curbside recycling—very few of us spend our limited free time paging through spreadsheets to understand the specifics of a municipal budget […]

Can Water Become a Cash Crop in the West?
Octubre 2015, inglés
Peter Nichols is an avid outdoorsman and one of Colorado’s leading water law attorneys. It’s not uncommon to see him enter the lobby of his Boulder office at Berg Hill Greenleaf & Ruscitti—a room with stone, hardwoods, and a sharp-dressed receptionist—in wrinkled attorney attire and a pair of worn river sandals. By his own reckoning, […]

The Working Cities Challenge Helps MA Cities Rebuild on Industrial Pasts
Octubre 2015, inglés
Holyoke, a city of about 40,000 in western Massachusetts, was one of the nation’s first planned industrial communities. Beginning in the late 1840s, Boston investors transformed what had been a farming area into a mill town, taking advantage of its location along the Connecticut River.

Chattanooga’s Big Gig
Octubre 2015, inglés
Universal high-speed Internet access is a popular dream these days—everyone from the president to Google, Inc., has embraced it. And the tech press is full of testy critiques wondering why typical broadband speeds in the United States lag so far behind those in, say, South Korea. Just five years ago, this wasn’t such a hot […]

PolicyMap democratiza el análisis de datos
Octubre 2015, español
El precio de la vivienda está subiendo en espiral en muchas áreas de los estados unidos, limitando la capacidad de los estadounidenses para ahorrar, y llevando al aburguesamiento a barrios que antes eran asequibles. No obstante, como con muchos desafíos de política pública, no siempre se puede determinar a simple vista dónde se encuentran los […]
