ULI Infrastructure Forum at 2022 Fall Meeting
Aligning Innovative Infrastructure and Real Estate Investment to Build Community Value
In the ULI Infrastructure Forum, we examine the intersection of infrastructure, real estate, and land use. Infrastructure demands due to dynamic population shifts; flooding, storms, and droughts; growing energy and technology demands; as well as lack of adequate access to transportation choices are challenging our cities and towns more than ever, especially in a time of economic flux. This conversation will focus on identifying those key decision-making points that the real estate industry has the most influence to proactively support infrastructure investment that is forward-looking to create more equitable, resilient, and healthy outcomes that build long-term community value. The ULI Infrastructure Forum at the 2022 Fall Meeting is combining with the Shaw Symposium to explore the best ways to design, finance/fund, and maintain new and existing infrastructure in ways that benefit people. This interactive conversation will draw from speakers and attendees to identify key tools and best practices to ensure forward-looking infrastructure while recognizing the interrelated nature between the public and private sectors to create high-quality, transformative places.
Key questions we will hope to answer include:
- What does the future look like in terms of real estate and infrastructure investment?
- What does success look like?
- How do we implement these goals including the tactics to get there?
- How do we create incentives and build momentum for different project scales?
- What’s the cost of misalignment and how do we correct?
- How can we optimize the relationship between land-use planning, infrastructure, and real estate investment?
- What infrastructure needs to come early and why?
- From social, green to active mobility infrastructure, how can we leverage early implementation to magnify the value of investment and community outcomes?
Key takeaways and lessons learned will be turned into a publication to be released in 2023. Learning Objectives:
- Framework of 3-5 “typical” archetypes for deal-making
- 10-12 best practices that apply to all
- 5-10 tools to implement effective partnerships
