Daniel Burnham Forum on Big Ideas
2018 Forum
Land Value Capture for Infrastructure Finance
September 23, 2018
Presented in partnership with Lincoln Institute of Land Policy
An expert panel provided an overview of land value capture as a tool for infrastructure finance by municipalities in the U.S. Examples of projects where value capture tools have been used successfully and emerging policies, were highlighted.
How the Burnham Forum Came to Be
In 2012, the Emerging Trends/Future of Planning Task Force assembled to address emerging trends in the field and the future of planning. Its charge:
- Identify top issues impacting America's communities now through the next 10 to 20 years
- Note how planning is changing and also needs to change
- Recommend how APA and its members can be most effective in meeting the challenges of the future
- Solicit members, in partnership with APA staff, through in-person and online forums, to submit their "big ideas" through digital papers, illustrations, or videos
- Review and categorize big ideas
- Present findings
The work of the task force comes to life in the annual Daniel Burnham Forum on Big Ideas.
