Thank you to our near capacity crowd this morning at our inaugural Equitable Development Summit!
Our esteemed keynote speaker and panel of New York-based BIPOC land use practitioners not only spoke to the need and benefit of instilling equity in the development process, but provided case studies of local projects that are putting the principles of equity into action.
ULI New York’s commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion emphasizes the importance of diversity to intentionally engage and leverage each of our members’ different perspectives to promote the change and advancement required to create and sustain thriving, resilient, and equitable communities.
