The Urban Land Institute, through its ULI Southeast Florida/Caribbean District Council, offers this program of local and international speakers to explore the challenges and successful strategies used across the world to reach consensus on land use and how they might be applied in Puerto Rico.

Puerto Rico’s extreme density – 1,000 people per square mile – make it one of the most densely populated islands in the world. With 78 municipalities, mostly coastal cities ringing a mountainous center, it is home to four million people. Land use planning for Puerto Rico’s future is critical to its economic and environmental future.

Presenting outstanding speakers such as ULI’s own Senior Resident Fellow The Honorable Bill Hudnut (a prominent elected official in Maryland), The Honorable Angel David Rodriquez (President of the Puerto Rico Planning Council), Banco Popular of Puerto Rico's President, David Chafey, Harvard University’s Jerold Kayden and Michael Buckley of Columbia University, experts will discuss pressing issues and next steps in addressing Puerto Rico’s land planning needs.

Join us to be part of this important discussion, hosted at the new Puerto Rico Convention Center.

Continuing Education Credits - 6.75 hr.
