Description
Billions flow into urban development, yet communities rarely end up owning what gets built in their neighborhoods. This hands-on workshop flips the script.
Join practitioners from Urbane and Community Desk Chicago as they unpack how community investment vehicles are being restructured in real time based on market conditions, capacity and the long-term objectives of neighborhoods. Participants will get an up close look at the complex planning, decision-making and capital coordination required to advance these models.
