ULI North Florida - FAMU UrbanPlan Workshop
Join the Urban Land Institute (ULI) for this one-day UrbanPlan workshop. UrbanPlan is a project-based learning curriculum unit for students. Bringing together disciplines such as economics, city government, real estate and urban planning, UrbanPlan engages students to consider the myriad of complex decisions that shape our build environment.
Heres how it works:
- Student teams form “development firms” that respond to a request for proposals for the development of a disinvested neighborhood in a fictional city. Each team member is assigned a role: financial analyst, marketing director, city liaison, neighborhood liaison, or site planner.
- Teams collaborate on the proposal, working through challenging financial, social, political, and design issues; developing a pro forma; and building real models to bring redevelopment vision to life.
- Students are visited by industry professionals who serve as facilitators to guide students in the critical assessment of their vision, site plans, and financials.
- The teams use their final site plan and pro forma to pitch to a “City Council” volunteer industry professionals, and one team wins!
This workshop is only available to FAMU students.
