Director, Latin America and Caribbean

The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is an independent, nonpartisan organization whose mission is to help solve global economic, social, and environmental challenges to improve the quality of life through creative approaches to the use, taxation, and stewardship of land. For over 29 years, the Institute has had a major presence in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), especially on matters related to land markets, land-based finances, informality, property tax, and large-scale urban projects. More recently, the Institute’s scope of work in LAC has begun to include climate action and resilience, as well as land and water policy. The LAC program has been and strives to remain a major source of innovative research and education in the region on a range of land policy and management issues and themes, including urban economics, informal land markets and housing, land value capture, property taxation, and geospatial technologies. The Institute’s work and impact in LAC have been leveraged by the creation, deployment, and active maintenance of a broad network of academics, practitioners and experts in urban economics, planning, climate, and housing, among other disciplines.
