ULI Southeastern Coastal Development Forum

The purpose of this joint summit, hosted by ULI Atlanta, North Florida, and South Carolina, is to offer development practitioners and public officials (mayors, council members, and senior officials) access to resources to advance coastal development challenges and create a broader understanding of resilience in their communities.

This summit will:

  • Offer participants practical information, case studies and resources to pursue resilient projects and processes in their own initiatives;
  • Provide participants valuable connections to their peers as well as leading experts in resilient development, planning, finance, sustainability, and infrastructure; and
  • Share specific examples of practical solutions and leadership in resilience policymaking and development that both coastal and ‘coastal-like’ communities face
