Climate, Land Use, and Energy (CLUE) Advisory Group Findings Report
At the 2007 ULI Fall Meeting in Las Vegas, the Trustees directed Chairman Todd Mansfield to form an Advisory Group to study and advise on the issues of climate change and energy and how ULI as an organization might best engage in these issues. The Climate, Land Use and Energy (CLUE) Advisory Group is made up of a diverse body of ULI members who span the fields of finance, investment, development, design and the insurance industries. This report, presented at the 2008 ULI Fall Meeting and Urban Land Expo in Miami, explores how the issues of rising energy costs and global climate change should inform ULI's ongoing activities, including how these issues might impact the industry at-large and how they are changing the day-to-day practice of land use and urban development.

Green Buildings and Sustainable Development: Making the Business Case 
In August 2003, the Urban Land Institute convened a panel of 25 experts in Aspen, Colorado, to discuss the topic, “Green Buildings and Sustainable Development: Making the Business Case.” Participants represented a range of professions including real estate development, architecture and landscape architecture, academia, the business community, and organizations that support sustainable development such as ULI and the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). The forum identified the obstacles that interfere with wider acceptance of green buildings and focused on how the business case for these buildings can be made more effectively, particularly to the commercial real estate community. 

Growing Cooler: Evidence on Urban Development and Climate Change
This new book documents how key changes in land development patterns could help reduce vehicle greenhouse gas emissions. Based on a comprehensive review of dozens of studies by leading urban planning researchers, the book concludes that urban development is both a key contributor to climate change and an essential factor in combating it. The authors make the case that one of the best ways to reduce vehicle travel is compact development: building places in which people can get from one place to another without driving. This includes developments with a mix of uses and pedestrian-friendly designs. 

Sustainable Development and Green Building
On March 30, 2004, at the national headquarters of the AIA in Washington, D.C., ULI held a daylong forum--the outgrowth of an earlier forum held in August 2003 in Aspen, Colorado. The goal of both forums was to bring together stakeholders from every sector of the real estate and land development industry to discuss green building and sustainable development practices. This report outlines the best practices of the 22 diverse professionals from that forum. 

Ten Principles for Coastal Development
In creating Ten Principles for Coastal Development, ULI brought together a group of experts for three days to share ideas and inspirations. The purpose of this book is to provide a comprehensive overview and guidance for implementing better land use policies and practices along the coast to break the cycle of destructive trends and prevent the degradation of coastal systems as growth and development occur. It also offers opportunities to benefit environmental systems in this process.
