Programs Committee
The Americana at Brand Tour, Sept. 17, 2008
The Los Angeles District Council coordinates monthly programs addressing land use, development and financing issues facing our region. Program topics are chosen by a committee made up of ULI members who identify topics and speakers for programs and special events throughout the year.
This year, program topics will include: capital markets, transportation and infrastructure, AB 32/SB 375, residential development, non-residential development, green development, climate change, mixed-use development, live/work development, transit oriented development, infill development, regional cooperation, workouts, restructurings, and troubled asset relief.
