Gabriella Y. Carolini's research is on the dynamic relationship between social investments and current fiscal policies and public sector accounting practices. Social investments of particular interest in this regard include those targeting slum upgrading, affordable housing, public health systems, and the adaptive capacity of communities of the urban poor to respond to growing environmental vulnerabilities. Gabriella has used Brazil for empirical evidence, and is currently researching trends in Mozambique, but her wider work is also informed by South Africa, Kenya, Argentina, India, Sweden, and of course, the United States. She served as an advisor and project director of a summit on urban development innovations for the Rockefeller Foundation and Center for Sustainable Urban Development at Columbia University’s Earth Institute, a senior associate to the UN Millennium Project’s Task Force on slums (for whose final report she was a lead author), and a political-economic and financial consultant for firms in the UK and New York. She earned a bachelor’s degree in International Relations from Columbia, a Masters degree in Development Studies from Oxford, and graduated from Columbia with a PhD in urban planning.
