Uli Spring Meeting 2023 – At the upcoming 2023 ULI Spring Meeting, we will help shape the future ready environment. From design innovation in cloudburst infrastructure to developing new transit infrastructure in Ontario and sharing ways to build healthier communities, our experts will share creative and innovative solutions to real estate’s most pressing topics.
As key employment and economic drivers, hospitals are powerful community anchors. However, the idea of health-oriented development encourages hospitals to expand their goals from health monitoring to integrated health partners, which supports a broader idea of community health. Through new partnerships, land use and public realm design, a model is emerging that enables the growth and development of the district and its wider region. This session will discuss strategies for new and developing communities to use the Social Determinants of Health Framework to develop healthy communities at various levels. Project samples will be distributed from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho to Chicago, Illinois to Dunedin, New Zealand.

Recently, the province of Ontario announced a $28 billion regional transit plan and land-use policy changes designed to encourage more density around transit. Metrolinx, the regional transit agency, recently announced a new “market management strategy” to facilitate partnerships with private developers to finance the construction of new transit infrastructure with benefits for adjacent commercial and residential development. You can get help. Overall, the provincial government is looking to capture a large portion of the land value generated by major infrastructure investments and reflects the growing trend of transit-oriented development in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton area. Unprecedented. There is a possibility. The tour will visit key TOD sites on the Lakeshore Go Line.

Climate change is increasing the number of urban areas exposed to catastrophic flooding, whether caused by small cloud storms or short periods of rain – causing billions of dollars in damage and loss of life. Many cities’ infrastructure and landscapes are ill-equipped to handle the rapid water associated with cloud storms. Additionally, storm and sewer drains are slow, expensive, and disruptive to large-scale renovations, and result in lost opportunities for urban residents to develop cities with green infrastructure, biodiversity, and recreation. Some cities are using new strategies to increase their ability to withstand storm surges by slowing runoff, conserving floodwaters and restoring natural ecosystems. Additionally, municipalities require or encourage these and other stormwater management policies in real estate projects. This session will cover best practices in cloud infrastructure and management as well as lessons learned from implementing them in urban areas.
