I’ve long thought that ULI had the potential to go deeper into the dynamics that shape our cities, and be a force for positive change. @erothman does a great job of putting that into words at this important time in our nation.
Our industry needs to move forward on racial equity now, or get left behind.
In this week's #AJustAndResilientRecovery newsletter @erothman calls on urban development leadership to recognize our history and diversify the industry.
