The ULI Building Healthy Places Initiative has selected participants from around the nation for its new Health Leaders Network, including two representatives from the Triangle: Julia Katz (Triangle J Council of Governments) and Stuart Levin (Blue Ridge Corridor Alliance).

The ULI Health Leaders Network will empower real estate and land use professionals with the skills, knowledge, and networks to improve health outcomes in their professional practice and communities. Participants will gain valuable skills and connections that will help them advance their careers, as well as practical knowledge about the intersection between health and the built environment.

The program will facilitate creative collaborations within the fields of public health, planning and design, and development, and empower participants with actionable knowledge on development and design strategies that improve health.
