Project tours, a favorite feature of the ULI Fall Meeting, are included in this year’s virtual offerings. All attendees are encouraged to participate in tours of noteworthy projects from around the globe; no additional signup is necessary. The tours will be led by the visionaries who developed each project, and attendees can gain behind-the-scenes insights and ask questions.
