There has been a lot happening for ULI Nashville’s UrbanPlan in the past few months. Read the articles below to see what we have been up to!

UrbanPlan en Espanol Award

At the ULI Americas District Staff Summit Awards, the spotlight shone brightly on ULI Nashville’s UrbanPlan en Español workshop. The workshop, held at Glencliff High School in October 2022, hosted 60 students, including 15 Spanish-speaking individuals. For the workshop, the student materials, instruction, and all facilitation were conducted in Spanish. This represented a first in UrbanPlan’s 20+ year history as a program. Read more HERE.

Year Two at the Civic Design Center

One year after completing Nashville’s first UrbanPlan workshop, the team was invited back to host a second workshop at the Civic Design Center on July 11th and 12th with participation from students at the University of Tennessee Knoxville, Belmont University, Montana State University, and the University of Colorado Boulder.

Insights from the Professors

Each summer, Clay Adkisson and William Rosenthal, both partners at Openworks, lead a course teaching architecture students from the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. Last summer, their students got to be the first participants of an UrbanPlan workshop at ULI Nashville. We got to sit down with the professors this time around to hear their perspectives on UrbanPlan. Read more HERE.

Instructor Q&A

There are many ways to get involved with UrbanPlan. One of those ways is by serving as an instructor at an UrbanPlan workshop. At ULI Nashville, we are privileged to have two seasoned UrbanPlan instructors, Stacy Deru, Client Development Director at Engineered Tax Services, and Matt Anderson, Director of Real Estate Development Services at Al. Neyer.

What is UrbanPlan?

UrbanPlan has been around for over 20 years in ULI and launched in ULI Nashville in 2022. It is a simulation exercise where each participant is given a role on a development team vying for a city contract to redevelop six square blocks of an in-town neighborhood devastated by a fire.
