Coastal Forum - Inaugural Convening at 2018 Fall Meeting
August 13, 2018
Thank you to everyone who attended the 2018 Coastal Forum!
Interested in meeting other members active in coastal development and real estate?
The Coastal Forum is a ULI member‐initiated project to bring together leaders in real estate, land use and climate resilience to share best practices for coastal development. The Forum offers a dialogue‐based setting to analyze trends, share tools and resources, and tour examples of innovative waterfront projects in Boston.
The forum will start with a morning of panel discussion on national issues and Boston real estate projects that incorporate best practice design strategies to manage rising sea levels and other climate impacts. Forum participants will then set sail in a private charter, touring exciting coastal development projects along the Boston waterfront.
