Case Studies for Action

ULI publishes “Case Studies for Action” as a resource to ULI District Councils in an effort to share information, outcomes of district council activities, lessons learned, and aid them in their outreach endeavors. 

The case studies highlight ULI District Council activities at the state, regional and local levels that seek to resolve complex land use, development and redevelopment problems.  These efforts are typically innovative programs aimed at engaging land use professionals and other stakeholders.

Reality Check on Growth—ULI Los Angeles

ULI Los Angeles, in partnership with the University of Southern California (USC) Lusk Center for Real Estate, conducted a visioning exercise in 2002 to raise awareness of the impending population increase forecasted for the region. Close to 200 community leaders from the public, private, and not-for-profit sectors gathered to try to envision where to accommodate the Los Angeles region’s projected growth. The outcome of the exercise was a series of growth models presenting alternative visions for how Los Angeles might accommodate new residents.

Smart Growth Project Recognition Program—ULI Washington

Established in December 2000, the Smart Growth Alliance (SGA) is a partnership formed to research, identify, and encourage land use development and transportation polices and practices that support smart growth in the Washington, D.C., region. As its first initiative, the SGA developed the Smart Growth Project Recognition Program, which supports good smart growth project proposals and provides political cover for the public officials who support them. The SGA created a set of criteria to determine whether a development project, as proposed, embodies the principles of smart growth. Its success has led it to become a national model for similar programs.
