Gestión de Instrumentos Base Suelo de Financiamiento para el Desarrollo Urbano en América Latina

May 7, 2018 - May 11, 2018

Lima, Peru

Free, offered in Spanish

Profesoras: Camila Maleronka, María Mercedes Maldonado

Este curso tiene como objetivo fortalecer la capacidad de formación en gestión de la valorización del suelo urbano de educadores en América Latina que enseñan temas de planificación como un vehículo para mejorar la formulación, el debate y la implementación de políticas de suelo. Los participantes, junto a un grupo de profesores de amplia experiencia en el tema, discutirán a través de casos y evidencia empírica los fundamentos de la movilización de plusvalías y los principales dilemas que subyacen las políticas de suelo en América Latina. El curso proveerá herramientas conceptuales y pedagógicas para abordar, desde una perspectiva interdisciplinaria, temas críticos de políticas de suelo que inciden en los incrementos del valor del suelo por concepto de cambios en las normativas urbanísticas o las inversiones en infraestructura urbana y servicios, así como en las mejoras de las ocupaciones precarias y su regularización, y otros factores generadores como las expropiaciones, reajustes de suelo y otros instrumentos.

El público objetivo de este curso de actualización para docentes son principalmente educadores que enseñan temas relacionados con la gestión de la valorización del suelo a planificadores y gestores urbanos en América Latina, ya que se busca encontrar oportunidades para mejorar la currícula y pedagogía utilizada en universidades e instituciones educativas de la región. Sin embargo, también está dirigido a profesionales interesados en urbanismo, planificación, gestión urbana y políticas de suelo.

Research on Global Approaches to Land Value Capture

Submission Deadline: February 28, 2018 at 11:59 PM

Application guidelines

By the mid-21st century, cities around the world will face the challenge of accommodating billions of new residents expected to migrate to urban centers. Consequently, major investments in infrastructure will be required, and funding for operations and services to citizens is expected to grow in magnitude. Land value capture enables communities to recover increases in land value generated by public interventions, with revenues that may be used to finance public services and infrastructure.

Learning how individual jurisdictions in the developed and developing world are using land value capture successfully is a key step in promoting the expanded use of land value capture globally. Of equal importance is understanding the intersection of national, regional, and sub-national policies globally that are enabling land value capture frameworks that produce sustainable urban outcomes.

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy invites proposals for original research papers and case studies that examine the implementation of land value capture instruments to address urban development challenges in a range of contexts across the globe. Policy-oriented empirical studies and international comparative works are encouraged.

Research deliverables are expected to result in working papers or case studies. Working papers and case studies must adhere to the Lincoln Institute's format and templates, appropriate for publication by the Lincoln Institute. Guidelines for working papers and case studies will be provided to researchers who are selected for an RFP award.
