Join the ULI WLI Americas for its signature program where Kelly Nagel, past WLI Americas Chair and Head of Residential at Edens, will moderate a fireside chat with Nancy Lashine, Founder and Managing Partner of Park Madison Partners, a boutique real asset private equity placement firm. They will discuss Nancy's path to success and the challenges she has navigated along the way as a woman entrepreneur. The conversation will also include relevant topics that advance efforts and leverage allyship to close the gender gap in commercial real estate, with a particular focus on entrepreneurship, capital markets and real estate investment.

Fifteen-minute communities hold the promise of accelerating decarbonization, increasing housing affordability, reducing climate and health risks, and fostering social equity. This approach to city building lays a foundation for developing compact, mixed-use, and walkable communities that can increase real estate value, create co-benefits for joint use and co-location, and generate new resources to help invest in local communities. The ULI Curtis Infrastructure Initiative created Building 15-Minute Communities: A Leadership Guide to share actionable leadership strategies across public, private, and nonprofit sectors to decarbonize metro regions with a network of 15-minute transit-oriented communities; diversify urban central business districts into affordable, live-in downtowns; humanize edge cities into heat-proof, resilient, retirement, and child-friendly communities; densify suburban corridors into walkable, mixed-use innovation districts; transform suburban malls into transit and trail-oriented mixed-use communities; and activate exurbs as working landscapes of agrihoods and nature-based solutions. Learn about this practical tool for aligning leadership actions to implementation.
