As part of our mission to volunteer and give back to our local community, Richard Stephens (S&S Senior Scientist and Partner) participated in an informative and fun day of training with the Urban Land Institute (ULI – North Florida) and other local professionals to learn how to facilitate local high school and college students completing the UrbanPlan exercise. UrbanPlan is a realistic, engaging exercise in which participants—high school students, university students, or public officials—learn about the fundamental forces that affect real estate development in our communities. Participants experience the challenging issues, private and public sector roles, complex trade-offs, and fundamental economics in play when proposing realistic land use solutions to vexing growth challenges.
