ULI Place Making 2013: New Drivers, New Partners was held June 24-25, 2013 at the Inn at Penn in Philadelphia.

The conference connected the diverse range of players necessary to make mixed-use development work. Attendees found partners for new projects, practical examples of what is working in today’s economic climate, and the cutting-edge research on demographic and financing trends for which ULI is known.

Partnerships have expanded beyond traditional private developer and city hall to include educational institutions, health care providers, sports franchises, art facilities, and others. Conference programming focused on what factors drive demand for new development, where and how new partners will be found, how deals are structured, and practical examples of elements that will enable you to create truly successful places.
