ULI San Francisco’s Policy & Practice Committee’s goal is to identify best practices for addressing land use challenges facing the Bay Area and work with public agencies, non-profits, and the private sector to implement pragmatic solutions. The Policy & Practice Committee serves as the umbrella for all the District Council’s policy related work.

Our Objectives Include:

• Identify priority land use themes to inform programs and initiatives for all committees;
• Research and analyze priority policy issues and themes;
• Produce and support quality work products around priority themes such as: conferences/symposiums, technical papers and reports, professional development opportunities, program series, City Development Trainings, and Technical Assistance Panels;
• Encourage strategic and project-based partnerships and collaborations with other organizations, when appropriate;
• Increase engagement with public sector land use professionals and appointed and elected officials regarding real estate economics and practice; and
• Collaborate with ULI national on policy-based initiatives that align with ULI San Francisco’s proposed themes.
