ULI hosts equitable communities exchange event

The Urban Land Institute (ULI) Austin chapter will host its next Building Equitable Communities Exchange from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 15, at 506 Congress Ave. The event is free and open to the public, aiming to connect professionals in the built environment industry with initiatives supporting equity and inclusivity. The series, organized by ULI Austin’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Steering Committee, highlights projects and programs that foster equitable outcomes across Austin. The event will feature presentations on the Palm School, Equidad ATX, Colony Park and the Mexican American Heritage Corridor. Attendees will have opportunities to interact with project leaders during a networking session following the presentations. The DEI Steering Committee’s mission includes amplifying diverse voices, building a pipeline of young leaders, fostering a culture of inclusiveness and empowering allies through partnerships. By providing a platform for community-driven projects, the Exchange aims to increase awareness and collaboration, encouraging Austinites to participate in shaping a more inclusive city.
