About the Infrastructure Council

Infrastructure provides the framework for urban land use and real estate development.  The ULI New York Infrastructure Council focuses on the future of the region’s infrastructure as it relates to real estate, land use, and economic development policies and best practices.

Mission

The mission of the ULI New York Infrastructure Council is to examine the major urban systems needed by the City of New York and the surrounding region, in order to function and prosper: transportation, telecommunications, energy, water supply, waste treatment and storm drainage. The Infrastructure Council assesses the relationships of these systems to each other, identifies future needs, trends and plans, and identifies successful infrastructure financing mechanisms worldwide. The Infrastructure Council promotes sustainable policies and practices which impact real estate development in the New York region and improves the understanding of their relationship to real estate values.

Goals & Objectives

Going forward, cities must compete globally for the best and brightest work force.  This means that “quality of life” becomes differently important – culture, recreation and proximity change the business model – and infrastructure’s relation to land use also changes. In this context, the Infrastructure Council convenes a diverse group of stakeholders in a forum that contributes to discussing topics around transportation, telecommunications and energy.

This council format is similar ULI’s national product councils.  Members convene every other month to hear from a prominent best speaker(s) from the Infrastructure industry.
