Edge Development

Over the next 40 years, the population of the United States is estimated to increase by 90 million. Over 70 percent of these people will live in cities, suburbs, and newly created "edge" developments. ULI has addressed many of the elements of good development at the edge through issues of place making, walkability, and smart growth. As developers and public officials face the challenge of building better edge communities, ULI will look at how entitlements and the approval process can expedite developments that are sustainable over the long term, how transportation networks can be better planned to encourage desired land uses, and how mixed-use and mixed-income developments can be incorporated into local and regional planning and implementation.
