London’s Large-scale Regeneration Projects Offer Community Benefits
Models of urban regeneration such as the Tate Modern and Canary Wharf lured the 2006 Loeb Fellows from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design to London for their annual study trip, cosponsored by the Lincoln Institute, to get a first-hand look at the& lessons to be learned from one of the world’s most rapidly redeveloping cities.
Conservation Incentives in America’s Heartland
Inspired by the work of Aldo Leopold, conservation leaders explore three types of incentive programs to achieve land conservation in an economically efficient, measurably effective, and reasonably equitable manner: tax incentives, market-based incentives, and fiscal (or budgetary) incentives.
This issue looks at large-scale revitalization projects in London that are benefitting local communities; economic and environmental approaches to U.S. conservation easements; and the use of a variety of economic incentives to achieve land conservation in America’s heartland.
