Lincoln Institute of Land Policy
About
The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy is a Cambridge-based nonprofit private operating foundation that works to improve quality of life through the effective use, taxation and stewardship of land. Its origins date to 1946, and it researches and recommends approaches that treat land as a solution to economic, social and environmental challenges. Through education, training, publications and events, it connects theory and practice to inform public policy decisions around the world.
The institute’s work spans city and regional planning, property tax systems, municipal finance, affordable housing on public land and energy programs. It publishes articles and a magazine, including a Mayor’s Desk interview series with city leaders, and offers online courses through its Center for Impact Finance. It also funds outside research, such as an annual program supporting scholars who study urban development and land policy in China.
