Building Healthy Places
Through the Building Healthy Places Initiative, ULI is leveraging the power of ULI’s global networks to shape PROJECTS AND PLACES in ways that improve the health of PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES. The organization is focusing on four main areas of impact:
• RAISING AWARENESS. Raise awareness of the connections between health and the built environment in the real estate community, and work to make sure health is a mainstream consideration.
• DEFINING THE APPROACH. Help define and share information about the design elements, programming strategies, materials, and other approaches that improve health for people.
• EXPLORING THE VALUE PROPOSITION. Build understanding of the market and nonmarket factors at play in building healthy places, and the value proposition of building and operating in health-promoting ways.
• ADVANCING THE STATE OF PRACTICE AND POLICY. Using the ULI membership as a lever, and in partnership with others, advance the state of policy and practice.
