Sinopsis del Libro

This report is the first Spanish-language publication in the Lincoln Institute's series of policy focus reports. The analyses and case studies are based on presentations made by participants in the International Seminar on Urban Vacant Land: New Challenges and Opportunities, held in April 1999 in Rio de Janeiro, and jointly sponsored by the Lincoln Institute and the Municipality of Rio de Janiero. The report explores the origins of urban vacant land and develops viable strategies and actions to address its consequences.
