Receiving Community Webinar

Webinar Summary: Climate change impacts are changing conditions in communities worldwide, increasing incentives to live and work in some locations, and decreasing incentives in others causing ripple effects across global, national, and local markets. As people of all demographic groups gravitate toward locales with comparatively lower risk (receiving communities) they will drive economic growth and development. Local governments of these receiving communities and private interests will be challenged to ensure such growth and development is inclusive and equitable and minimizes gentrification-driven displacement. The Receiving Community webinar builds upon the findings of a report published by ULI with the same title. It aims to provide foundational knowledge on this emerging issue, highlight some effective equitable development strategies and solutions employed by local governments, community-based organizations, developers, and others across the real estate sector, and outline key concepts and takeaways from the report.
