    About the Southeastern Coastal Development Forum
     
    Since 2018, ULI’s Coastal Forum has shared best practices and emerging market trends in coastal real estate development and community resilience, focusing on strategies to protect and strengthen communities at risk due to sea level rise, storms, and other coastal hazards through innovative infrastructure and real estate projects. This first ever Southeastern Coastal Development Forum is a joint effort ULI Atlanta, North Florida, and South Carolina to offer development practitioners and public officials (mayors, council members, and senior officials) access to resources to advance coastal and inland development challenges and create a broader understanding of resilience in their communities. This summit will:
    • Offer participants practical information, case studies and resources to pursue resilient projects and processes in their own initiatives; 
    • Provide participants valuable connections to their peers as well as leading experts in resilient development, planning, finance, sustainability, and infrastructure; and
    • Share specific examples of practical solutions and leadership in resilience policymaking and development that both coastal and ‘coastal-like’ communities face
