En #WUF13, CAF impulsó un diálogo sobre un desafío fundamental para los países del sur global: sin datos confiables, las políticas y el financiamiento para la vivienda avanzan a ciegas.
En la sesión Building a Global South Housing Data Network compartimos la experiencia del Anuario de la Vivienda de América Latina y el Caribe, desarrollado junto al @landpolicy, un bien público regional que reúne más de 260 indicadores comparables en 15 países para fortalecer la toma de decisiones basada en evidencia.

En el marc del projecte BRE-IN (Brechas Institucionales de las Políticas de Suelo), de la Cátedra @UNED – Instituto Lincoln de Políticas de Suelo @landpolicy que dirigeix la @MartaLoraTamayo, he desenvolupat un treball sobre la retenció de sòl vacant i els mecanismes per garantir la disponibilitat de sòl assequible que publicaré en el pròxim número de la Revista de Administración Pública (RAP).
La recerca intenta donar resposta a un dels grans reptes de la cristi d'habitatge: la disponibilitat de sòl assequible en un context on la necessitat d'habitatge conviu paradoxalment amb l'existència d'importants bosses de sòl, classificat d'urbà o urbanitzable, vacant o sense transformar.
Us deixo una petita entrevista on explico les motivacions de la recerca i alguns dels seus resultats.

States are under pressure to enact property tax relief, but popular fixes like assessment limits can backfire. Grateful to join @bellwetherorg at @EdCommission's National Forum to share @landpolicy research on tools that protect taxpayers without undermining K-12 ed funding.

In a new working paper, President of Walczak Policy Consulting @JaredWalczak analyzes revenue alternatives, evaluates options for allocating that replacement revenue, and examines the economic and distributional consequences of this tax shift.
ALT Screenshot of a Lincoln Institute of Land Policy webpage for the working paper “Replacing the Irreplaceable: Analyzing Revenue Alternatives for Ohio Property Taxes” by Jared Walczak, published in June 2026. The page includes a download box noting the PDF is free and 40 pages.
His analysis finds that increasing either the income tax or sales tax would have significant consequences for rural, suburban, and urban counties and raise taxes on most middle-class households. Read "Replacing the Irreplaceable" to learn how: go.lincolninst.edu/l/153411/…
