Dr. Luise Noring is an Assistant Professor at Copenhagen Business School. She has a Ph.D. in supply chain partnerships and is a former expert member of the European Commission on renaturing cities and of the OECD on land value capture. 

Dr. Noring is a recognized expert on urban governance and finance, with a particular focus on how cities deliver and finance urban regeneration, infrastructure projects, affordable housing, and sustainable economic growth. Noring specializes in codifying innovative institutional models and finance mechanisms that drive environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive cities. Her body of research has been published in respected peer-reviewed academic journals, such as Urban Studies, Urban Affairs Review, Cities, and Urban Research & Practice. 

She has authored or co-authored case studies on a broad array of pathbreaking solutions, including the Copenhagen City and Port Development Corporation, the Danish Cooperative Housing Model, the Land Value Capture experiences across seven Danish cities and towns, and the Cincinnati Centre City Development Corporation. This body of applied research has been published by City Lab, the Brookings Institution, the Lincoln Institute, ICLEI, and the Nowak Metro Finance Lab at Drexel. Noring’s research reveals how cities can conduct large-scale transformative investments without relying entirely on public funds. Rather cities are encouraged to deploy underutilized public assets for land value capture, self-organize and self-finance affordable and social housing in cooperatives, and leverage municipal financing through mutually reinforcing the collective power of cities. 

Since 2016, Dr. Noring and her company, City Facilitators, has advised public, private and civic leaders on delivering City Solutions for sustainable and inclusive economic development. With the City Solutions, Noring and City Facilitators bring depth and specificity to the analysis of urban governance and finance, distilling enabling features and financial mechanisms, to enable large-scale adoption and adaptation. City Facilitators has delivered vanguard City Solutions to over 25 public, private and civic clients across more than 15 countries.
