The inaugural Lewis Center Sustainability Forum builds off the Building Healthy Places Forums series and will kick off at ULI’s 2024 Spring Meeting in New York City.

The forum, generously supported by ULI Foundation Governor Randall Lewis, will bring together leaders in health, wellness, and real estate to discuss what they are doing, planning, and observing in the field. The forum was a content-heavy, interactive discussion and exchange.

The forum will be organized in collaboration with ULI member leaders and focused on sharing information about NYC-based projects advancing sustainability in the built environment and applying lessons from these projects to the work of forum participants.

When: Monday, April 8th from 11:00am – 5:00pm ET
