Raumlabor Berlin. ULI. I have worked on many ULI programs and initiatives. UrbanPlan is in a class by itself; advancing ULI’s mission and brand while enriching students, the broader community and ULI members alike. Wayne S. Hyatt, Chairman, Hyatt & Stubblefield UrbanPlan is an exciting educational initiative of the ULI developed in partnership with the Fisher Center for Real Estate and Urban Economics (FCREUE) at the University of California at Berkeley and a team of high school economics teachers. The Mission The Mission of UrbanPlan is to create a more sophisticated level of discourse among local stakeholders involved in land use decisions through education of tomorrow’s voters, neighbors, community leaders, public officials, and land use professionals so, together, we can create better communities. Through UrbanPlan, students discover how the forces of our market economy clash and collaborate with the nonmarket forces of our representative democracy to create the built environment.

Urban Question

Bright Green. Cities need to plan for the future now by developing infrastructure and communities that make them resilient, rugged and adaptable to planetary changes. Coastal cities are particularly vulnerable to increased flooding from larger storm surges and sea level rise. And, as Bruce Stutz noted last year, "adapting to this reality has become a key part of future planning for London, Rotterdam, St. Petersburg, Tokyo, and Seattle, as well as low-lying cities across Asia" and New York City. Here's another waterfront city that is taking future-adaptive urban planning seriously: HafenCity.

HafenCity is marked by the red dot adjacent to Hamburg, Germany and along the river Elbe. | (Image captured with Bing Maps) HafenCity, or Harbor City, is a new city quarter under development in the old harbor of Hamburg, along the river Elbe. Intriguing! Physical model of HafenCity looking east, with the new buildings in the development modeled in a light wood tone. Other 'sea-level rise' urban design projects: 16x16.
