We are excited to share ULI Philadelphia’s 2025–2028 Strategic Plan, a roadmap designed to amplify our impact across the region and deliver exceptional value to our members. This plan reflects months of thoughtful input from our community and positions us to lead in shaping the future of land use and real estate.

Our Vision

ULI Philadelphia will continue to create specialized opportunities for members to influence the built environment, celebrate innovation, and address the region’s most pressing challenges. Hosting the 2027 ULI Fall Meeting in Philadelphia will serve as a catalytic moment to showcase our leadership and strengthen our network.

Strategic Priorities

The plan centers on five key goals:

Leverage Intergenerational Leadership

Build a culture of leadership across all career stages through mentorship, reimagining the advisory board, and expanded programs like WLI, YLG, and NEXT.

Share the Philadelphia Region’s Story

Position our members as national thought leaders by amplifying regional innovation and celebrating member impact across Pennsylvania, South Jersey, and Delaware.

Celebrate Regionalism

Strengthen ULI’s presence through deeper networks and strategic partnerships with regional organizations.

Differentiate ULI’s Value Through Impact

Reinforce our role as trusted advisors by prioritizing programs that deliver tangible outcomes, such as Technical Assistance Panels and solution-oriented forums.

Enhance the ULI Member Experience

Streamline engagement, grow membership, and create meaningful sponsorship opportunities to ensure every member feels connected and empowered.
