Join us for a session, as we dive into how to unlock industry action to drive the just and inclusive transition in housing. ULI in collaboration with BLOXHUB and Laudes Foundation has been gathering intel from the real estate industry on how to create an agency for action. We wish to share those insights, include yours and get your input on prioritizing opportunities and barriers as you see them.

This will contribute to a joint whitepaper highlighting key principles to act and tangible cases to be inspired from. In this session, you have a chance to gain insights and inspiration as we explore two tangible cases focused on affordability in commercial project development and innovative opportunities for structuring your value creation and product offering.

ULI Forum: Biodiversity- Nature Positive Solutions (limited capacity, pre-registration required)

Ms. Sophie Chick, Urban Land Institute - Europe

Ms. Dima Zogheib, Arup

Type Open to All Attendees

To date, the urban built environment has typically had a negative impact on climate and nature. This workshop will explore the concept of 'Nature-Positive Cities' - defining the concept, how the climate and nature agendas converge, and the need to make the economic case for nature. The session is a call to embed nature-positive design to move from business as usual to impact at scale.

The workshop will include case studies and active participation on views around the awareness of biodiversity and what are the opportunities and barriers.
