Artificial Intelligence’s "Bad Data" Problem for Real Estate Investment
The current hype around artificial intelligence (AI) has many in the real estate industry dreaming about harnessing it to assist with investment decisions. But there’s a giant stumbling block: too much bad data. AI models require voluminous data to be accurate, and commercial real estate data is not standardized or consistently high-integrity.
Members Empower ULI’s Mission at the Local Level through Gifts to District Councils
Donations to the ULI Foundation support a wide variety of programs, initiatives, and groups, and among the options, donors may choose to direct their gifts to their local ULI District Council.

Six Guiding Principles to Transforming Old Malls into Community Hubs
Headlines have long proclaimed the demise of the American shopping mall. Despite undeniable shifts in the retail landscape, the truth about these spaces is more nuanced. These massive parcels often stand in prime locations and therefore hold massive potential to sidestep scrap-and-redevelop and to truly evolve.
Tiny Houses with a Big Impact: Veterans Community Project Combats Homelessness
America’s 36,000 homeless veterans, who constitute roughly 5 percent of the homeless population, deserve to move from homeless to housed as much as any affected group. Many homeless veterans have post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); and every day, 18 homeless veterans commit suicide. Most are not connected to any support services, indicating that homeless veterans need far better services.
Top-Down Construction: Engineering Solution Reduces Costs and Carbon
Top-down construction—constructing floors at ground level, then raising them to the top of the building and then successively downward—potentially offers an attractive alternative to conventional construction, with its costly, labor-intensive, and environmentally wasteful process of building steel frames, floors, walls, and all components of a building at height. But adoption of an advanced form of top-down construction has not become widespread.

At the ULI Coastal Forum, held in October at the 2022 ULI Fall Meeting in Dallas, about 45 ULI members heard expert panels deliver key insights on the state’s coastal issues and solutions to bring about greater resilience. With a coastline over 3,300 miles (5,300 km) long and the greatest number of annual federally declared natural disasters of any state, Texas also has the country’s fastest-growing population, and 6 million of Texas’s 29 million people live along the coast.
Mammoth Project to Protect the Texas Coast and the Port of Houston
Coastal real estate must adjust to climate change and increasingly erratic weather, and Texas is leading the way. Spurred by heavy damage caused by Hurricane Harvey in 2017, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Texas General Land Office are mounting a $31 billion coastal resilience project on the Texas coast, the most expensive project ever led by the Corps and the largest coast management project ever.
Urban Land Magazine
Toronto’s deep-lake water cooling system stands as an example of the “third wave” of urban energy. As North America’s fourth-most-populous and fastest-growing large city, Toronto is powering through with a robust yet low-carbon expansion of its energy capacity. Using its Deep Lake Water Cooling (DLWC) system, the city is able to displace 55 megawatts of energy per year from the grid—enough to power eight hospitals.
