The seventh in the series of Building Healthy Places Interest Forums will be held in conjunction with ULI’s Spring Meeting in Detroit.

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

The forum is being organized in collaboration with ULI member leaders and will focus on sharing information about Detroit-based projects at the intersection of health and the built environment and applying lessons from these projects to the work of forum participants from across the country.
