“Housing needs to be designed to meet the needs of people at different life stages and abilities. Public-facing amenities can be an important part of the equation with benefits for project success and quality of life for older adults," our own Matthew Norris, senior director for the Randall Lewis Center for Sustainability in Real Estate, told Fast Company. ULI’s research, led by Matt and Rachel MacCleery, co-executive director of the Randall Lewis Center, not only shows that multigenerational housing has grown significantly over the last few decades, but also that intentional integration into a neighborhood plan and opportunities for social connection through coffee shops and other public-facing amenities can be key to realizing the vision of multigenerational living.

Last week, at the ULI mid-summer gathering in Oklahoma City, local officials and ULI members shared the remarkable story of the city's resilience and rebirth. From the harrowing moments of the Oklahoma City Federal Building bombing to the efforts to revitalize downtown, the panel shared their experiences on how a community overcame tragedy and rebuilt from the ground up. The panel included members of ULI’s 1995 Advisory Service Panel— Jim Klingbeil (Chairman of Klingbeil Capital Management and former Chair of the ULI Foundation) and Lynne Sagalyn (Professor Emerita at Columbia Business School)—who played pivotal roles in developing strategies for reconstructing the downtown core. Their insights, combined with the expertise of industry leaders from Oklahoma City—A J Kirkpatrick, AICP (ADG Blatt), Ronald Bradshaw (Colony Partners), and Cathy O'Connor (COalign Group)—provided a profound understanding of urban resilience and community strength, honoring the past while moving forward. ULI’s Advisory Services remain one of the most important ways for urban development professionals to give back to communities through donating their professional time and providing creative and holistic solutions that cities need today and tomorrow.
