ULI thanks Trustee Thomas W. Toomey and UDR Inc. for providing funding for this initiative.

To mark its 75th anniversary, the Urban Land Institute launched an ambitious plan to bridge the market realities of today with the land use outcomes of tomorrow.

To start the conversation in 2011, ULI released What’s Next? Real Estate in the New Economy, a publication that posed the questions the nonprofit would seek to answer over the course of the year at national and international events.

The sequel What’s Next? Getting Ahead of Change was released a year later to synthesize the dialogue spurred by the first publication. Inspired by the conversation, ULI’s District Councils also released their local and regional responses to the issues discussed in What’s Next.
