Public Sector Workshops

Our public sector workshops are an educational tool for local communities to help their public sector decision-makers, officials, and staff develop a more thorough understanding of the specific land use topics, priorities, and challenges that their communities face.

The customized 2-4 hour workshops equip public sector leaders with the tools, knowledge, perspectives, and private-sector insights they need to ensure their communities remain vibrant, resilient, and responsive to changing economic circumstances and competing market forces.

Our workshops leverage the expertise and broad knowledge base of the Urban Land Institute’s top industry leaders to educate and guide local communities through difficult land use topics, challenges, and opportunities, enabling public sector leaders to better navigate real estate development opportunities and address challenging issues.

Workshops are led by a multidisciplinary panel of top-level, recognized industry experts, and are presented in an educational format that provides a comfortable, respectful environment for candid learning and open discussion.

Workshops focus on overall education and broad action areas rather than providing granular recommendations, enabling your community to confidently move forward on your land use priorities.

Workshops are customized to your community’s specific needs, and focus on the topics most relevant to you. Potential topics include:

  • Development 101
  • Visualizing Density
  • P3s (Public Private Partnerships)
  • Downtown Revitalization
  • Economic Development
  • Resiliency
  • Mobility & Transit-Oriented Development
  • Housing Affordability
  • Placemaking
  • And many more….
