- What is happening with housing in the current economy?
Six leaders in residential real estate development discuss U.S. housing development trends: why smaller unit and lot sizes are becoming more common, which neighborhoods are holding value in the economic downturn, how demographic shifts are likely to influence the buyer and renter markets, how the public sector is working with the private sector to help keep planned developments alive, and how the recession has affected the movement toward incorporating sustainable design.

- Conservation Communities to Pick Up Momentum as Economy Recovers
ULI has released a new publication that highlights the beneficial impact of conservation development to preserving land and managing anticipated population growth in the coming decades. Conservation Communities: Creating Value with Nature, Open Space, and Agriculture, provides an anti-sprawl solution in many of the outlying “greenfield” areas that are far from urban cores. According to author Edward T. McMahon, conservation development not only delivers an answer to the smart growth movement, but also has benefits for residents. "Conservation development can help communities preserve open space and protect rural character,” says McMahon. “Most important, it can enhance property values, minimize infrastructure costs, and foster the development of graceful, environmentally responsible, and livable communities that appeal to today’s increasingly sophisticated consumer.”
Conservation Communities (ISBN 978-0-87420-132-1) is available at ULI’s online bookstore ($39.95 for members, $49.95 for nonmembers) and everywhere books are sold. To order a copy, visit our online bookstore.
