Twenty-seven professionals in real estate development, planning, design, engineering, finance, and public health from across the globe have been selected to participate in the fifth cohort of the Health Leaders Network—designed to empower real estate and land use professionals with the skills, knowledge, and networks to improve health and equity outcomes in their professional practice and communities.
Throughout 2022, Cohort 5 Health Leaders will convene for in-person and virtual forums and webinars, interact with Health Leaders Network alumni, and work in small groups on a project designed to help land use professionals communicate the value of health equity. More information regarding the program can be found at uli.org/healthleaders, with additional opportunities to get involved with ULI and the Building Healthy Places Initiative can be found on Navigator.
