Together, we have more work ahead. ULI Philadelphia stands united with our Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) neighbors, partners and colleagues in a call to #StopAAPIHate in the wake of last week’s tragic events. We value the important role of the AAPI community and all underrepresented voices in fulfilling our mission to shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide; and recommit to nurturing a culture of inclusivity within ULI Philadelphia and our industry.

These moments emphasize the urgency behind ULI Philadelphia’s ongoing commitment and actions to create a more inclusive organization and industry. Please join us, share your lived experiences and ideas, and review our Framework for Action here.
