Sparking Development with Arts and Culture: Best Practices in Real Estate Development
Category
Placemaking
The demand for creative placemaking in real estate development has grown rapidly since ULI's launch of its Creative Placemaking (CPM) project in 2016. ULI's 2020 publication, which inspired this session title, is the second most downloaded publication in ULI's history. ULI has built a body of CPM knowledge from studying real projects supplemented by site visits, interviews, surveys, and more. Art in Place, ULI's recent CPM initiative, involves nine global cohorts aimed at facilitating artist-developer connections. The initiative provides fresh insights and reinforces findings that CPM promotes thriving, equitable, and resilient cities and places. This session brings together a panel of internationally recognized leaders and CPM experts who corroborate ULI research with recent studies, including a 2023 study by the Toronto Metropolitan University and the recently released Volume 3 of The Place Economy containing hundreds of essays by real estate professionals spanning the globe. Panelists will discuss CPM best practices and how to apply them successfully. They will postulate on why to focus on creative placemaking in real estate development, and why now.
