Public Property Management as a Land-Based Strategy for Urban Development

In Brazil, contemporary public land policy seeks to integrate social use, environmental protection, territorial planning, and urban inclusion by allocating public assets to housing policies, land regularization, urban facilities, ecosystem preservation, and the strengthening of traditional communities. This approach directly contributes to addressing socio-spatial inequalities and building more resilient cities. The Lincoln Institute of Land Policy brings internationally recognized expertise in land policy, urban planning, and sustainable land use, with extensive experience at the intersection of land policies, public finance, and natural resource conservation. The session will foster a high-level exchange on how public land can be strategically mobilized to meet urban development challenges.
