Keynoters for the event, which will include an emphasis on creative community building for the 21st century, are Richard Kinder, chairman and chief executive officer of the energy pipeline company Kinder Morgan; James A. Baker III, former federal government dignitary and chairman of Rice University’s Baker Institute for Public Policy; and ULI benefactor Gerald D. Hines, chairman of the global real estate firm Hines, which is based in Houston.
Another highlight of the meeting will be a town hall session, moderated by former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Henry Cisneros, which will explore findings from two new ULI surveys — Generation Y and Housing and America in 2015 – both follow-ups to previous ULI reports. Cisneros will lead a discussion that will include the timely topic of how the surge of Millennials entering the housing and jobs markets will change urban development.
In addition to these three main sessions, the meeting will include an emphasis on communities that, like Houston, have built on their strengths in the post-recession years to be economically prosperous, environmentally sound and highly livable. Twelve mobile tours are planned to provide attendees with behind-the-scenes access to Houston’s most innovative developments.
