Place-Making and Re-Imagining Baltimore: A Real Estate Innovation Symposium

jhu-carey-re-symposium-overview-and-agenda-vf

“The most important decision in people’s lives today is the “place” they choose to live.  The City of Baltimore has the human capital, public and private real estate assets, and anchor institutions to optimize its future through real estate innovation and inclusive “place-making” strategies.

Our challenge to academia, corporations, government leaders, and the community is;  How can we elevate beyond prior actions in reimagining Baltimore’s undervalued urban neighborhoods as “Innovation Districts” with inclusive economic development, impact analytics, diversity, parity, and shared equity?

Attendees will gain new perspectives on:

Public and private real estate asset optimization

  • How reimagining real estate in undervalued neighborhoods as future Innovation Districts will stimulate more economic development, jobs, and attract new anchor institutions, entrepreneurs, residents, and stakeholders to Baltimore.

“Place-Making” economic development and creating shared value through real estate innovation:

  • How corporate, government, neighborhood stakeholders, and anchor institutions can develop new strategies that “close the gap” on an inclusive economy and human flourishing in our cities.
