Center for Sustainability
The history of Denver is closely intertwined with the South Platte River. From the city’s initial settlement along the riverbanks in 1858 to subsequent urbanization that altered its natural course, the South Platte has played a significant role in Denver’s evolution. For much of the 20th century, however, metropolitan development turned away from this vital waterway.
Billy Grayson, an expert in sustainability program development for companies and organizations, has been selected to serve as the executive director of the ULI Center for Sustainability and Economic Performance.
ULI will sharpen the strategy of its Center for Sustainability to focus on programs and tools that provide real estate providers with actionable data to create value and improve environmental and economic performance of buildings and tenant spaces.
Developers are undertaking new solutions and adjusting old ones to demonstrate that storm-related and sea-rise resilience can be leveraged into user amenities and community benefits, making dollars stretch further.
ULI’s Center for Sustainability executive director discusses how the Center can provide thought leadership on the critical nexus of real estate, sustainability, and climate change.
