If you want to build impact along with structures, you need to fully understand the development process. The real estate industry is changing at an alarming pace, and consequently so our neighborhoods. The time for ground up solutions is now. Houston is home to several organizations that play a significant role in the policies and practices that shape local development. As we begin working on a unified vision for inclusive revitalization on one of the city’s most historic corridors, we invite you to take the first step to joining the Connecting Corridors initiative and learn to work collaboratively across disciplines.

ULI’s Urban Plan program gives participants exposure to real estate development and an opportunity to gain a shared understanding of everyone’s perspective roles in the process. Using a mock city and a set of development goals, attendees work in groups to navigate the various hurdles that exist in real estate development. In this workshop we will begin building alliances and coalitions across organizations to promote principles and practices with real-world application beyond the conference.

This workshop is open to everyone interested in real estate development and corridor revitalization, no skills required. Members of the following organizations are able to attend at a discount (contact org president/admin):
