Lincoln Institute of Land Policy

Reduced poverty and spatial inequality - better access to opportunity means better outcomes--at the individual and collective levels--and Land Policy can be a crucial lever in achieving that. In the united states and elsewhere, we must grapple with our histories of racial and class oppression, persistent segregation, and inequitable access to resources and opportunities. Our work seeks to address these challenges by expanding access to thriving neighborhoods and cities, and creating new opportunities in those that are struggling.

Sustainably managed Land and water resources - the most basic of natural resources, Land and water are the foundation of civilization. Through international networks and cutting-edge research, we strive toward greater Land stewardship and coordinated Land and water decisions.

Low carbon climate-resistant communities and regions - Land and water Policy can shape the built and natural environment to reduce the extent of climate change and to help communities and natural systems withstand the impacts of a warmer climate. The Lincoln Institute is advancing good planning practices to address these challenges, and aspires to foster climate justice as a key element of this work.
