ULI’s Urban Resilience program is excited to announce that five U.S. District Councils have been selected to participate in the second Resilient Land Use Cohort(RLUC). RLUC is a growing network of District Councils, including ULI staff, community representatives, and local ULI member advisers who advise on immediate resilience needs through technical assistance or advisory services (TAPs or ASPs) and engage in regular peer-learning opportunities over an 18-month period to share strategies, resources, and best practices. Funding for the cohort is provided by the ULI Foundation with support from JPMorgan Chase.
The following District Councils will leverage ULI member expertise, in partnership with local stakeholders, to prepare communities for the impacts of climate change and enhance social equity through land use and development strategy.
- COLORADO: Recovering after the Marshall Fire in Superior and Louisville and enhancing community resilience and affordability.
- LOS ANGELES: Developing a resilience hub network in Los Angeles.
- LOUISIANA: Scaling green infrastructure solutions in New Orleans.
- NEW YORK: Advancing resilient retrofits with policies and incentives in New York City.
- PHILADELPHIA: Exploring land swaps for homes in flood zones in Eastwick.
This cohort builds on the successes of the first Resilient Land Use Cohort, which are summarized in the ULI report, “Local Challenges, Local Solutions.” More information about the program can be found on ULI’s website here.
