Connecting Arts + Real Estate

ULI Hong Kong is proud to be part of a global cohort of ULI National and District Councils working to connect artists, developers, and community voices to drive more inclusive and participatory real estate outcomes.

ULI Art in Place Hong Kong, a program of ULI Hong Kong, is amplifying community voices and artist perspectives to drive more inclusive and participatory real estate development processes. With financial and programmatic support from the Building Healthy Places (BHP) team, participating cohort councils will host convenings to identify where artists-engaged partnerships in real estate can advance equitable outcomes, empower collective action, and repair the social fabric. Lessons from this work will be shared across the greater National and District Councils network and amongst the wider ULI membership throughout the program.

The Art in Place cohort, working locally and together, seeks to:

• Foster stronger connections between artists and real estate, demonstrating how culture and creativity can advance social trust, community connection, and development success;
• Demonstrate how to embed creative placemaking and community perspectives into real estate development, to achieve better outcomes; and
• Distill lessons learned for wider sharing and adoption.
