BIO

Gabriella Y. Carolini

Gabriella is an Associate Professor of Urban Planning and International Development at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). At MIT, she leads the City Infrastructure Equity Lab (CIEL), which works toward building more equitable infrastructure systems—particularly in the water and sanitation domain, but increasingly also in energy and communications. She analyzes the governance of infrastructure development, including how its financial architecture (e.g. budgeting, financing), implementation, and evaluation shape infrastructure benefits and access for local communities. Gabriella’s research examines infrastructures across a broad portfolio of country and city-level contexts in the Americas and Africa, and within framings of climate change, public health, affordability, and knowledge production, in order to provide practical policy recommendations that both help define and improve equity outcomes in the co-design and implementation of infrastructure systems. In her research, Gabriella has partnered with a number of community-based organizations, municipal practitioners, multilateral organizations, and water and sanitation providers on three continents, most recently focusing on work with the Inter-American Development Bank’s Cities Lab and with Instituto Aegea and Águas de Manaus in the Amazonia region.

Her work on urban infrastructure and international development has been published as a book, Equity, Evaluation, and International Cooperation, with Oxford University Press (2022), and her articles can be found in leading journals, including Environment and Planning A: Economy and Space, International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, Urban Studies, Journal of the American Planning Association, The Lancet, and the American Journal of Public Health, among others. 

Gabriella is a collaborating faculty member of the Leventhal Center for Advanced Urbanism, on the Faculty Council of the Community Innovators Lab (CoLab), and is a faculty affiliate of the K. Lisa Yang Global Engineering and Research (GEAR) Center. Professionally, Gabriella has served as the lead chair of the Global Planning Educators’ Interest Group and as a member of the Task Force on Global Planning Education, both for the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning. 

Prior to arriving at DUSP, Gabriella taught at Rutgers’ Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, and worked in various capacities with the UN Millennium Project, UNFPA, UN-HABITAT, Rockefeller Foundation, Center for Sustainable Urban Development at Columbia’s Earth Institute, Oxford Analytica and a private management consultancy focusing on fixed income finance in New York. Gabriella has studied and been an affiliated researcher in universities in Brazil, France, Mozambique, and the UK. She holds a BA in Political Science from Columbia, a Master of Philosophy in Development Studies with a concentration on Economics from the University of Oxford, and a PhD in Urban Planning from Columbia, where she was a NSF-IGERT fellow in international development and globalization.

LAB

City Infrastructure Equity Lab (CIEL)

CIEL works toward building more equitable infrastructure systems—particularly in the water and sanitation domain, but increasingly also in energy and communications. Our research provides a grounded critical analysis of how the governance of infrastructure development, including its financial architecture (e.g. budgeting, financing), evaluation, and partnering practices in the delivery of systems, currently shapes infrastructure benefits and community health outcomes. Our work examines infrastructures across a broad portfolio of country and city-level contexts, and within framings of climate change, public health, affordability, and knowledge production, in order to provide practical policy recommendations that improve equity outcomes, particularly for and with marginalized communities.

TEACHING

An adage I have heard about MIT is that students do not come here to be taught; they come here to learn. As an academic, there couldn’t be a more stimulating environment and abundant supply of innovative, caring, and dedicated individuals with whom to learn. The photo above captures a few of us in 2018 (Asmaa, Prassanna, myself, Mark, Isadora, and last but not least an insert of my youngest student of all). Those who study with me—across methods and subjects of infrastructure, public finance, and Southern theory—know that professors who come to MIT also do not come to simply teach, but to continuously learn.
