General Transportation
Smart communities will build infrastructure that supports sustainable land use and advances health, prosperity, and global competitiveness. ULI panels help communities think holistically to integrate land use and infrastructure to reduce Vehicle Miles Travelled (VMT), leverage existing infrastructure, and balance infrastructure investments to include both new growth and infill areas.
