Dear Product Council Members,
Thank you for joining us for the 2020 ULI Virtual Fall Meeting! While all live sessions may have concluded, we are excited for the many Product Council events and meetings taking place next week during Product Council Week. In addition
to your Council meeting, we hope you will join us for the following Product Council sessions (additional information in the schedule at the bottom of this email):
- UrbanPlan Lightning Round for Council Members – Monday, October 19 from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM ET
Sign Up Here!
Space is limited.
- History of Planning Reconsidered: Toward Black Placemaking and Community Building: A Fireside chat with Dr. Andrea Roberts – Monday, October 19 from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM ET
- Community Renewal through Partnerships – Friday, October 23 from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET
Did you miss a Fall Meeting session or want to go back and watch one again? The good news is that sessions will remain on demand in the virtual meeting platform. To access, you can navigate back to the original session listing in the schedule
and hit the play button. Once the content is available in the on demand format, the session will play. If it's still in the process of being added to the site, you'll get a message that the session has ended. If you get that message, check back again soon!
Note that you do not need to go to the "on demand" section.
Many sessions from Day 1 are available now, however, we are currently having some issues with the upload of remaining sessions. We anticipate having this resolved within the next 24-48 hours. When the sessions do become available, they
will live on the platform for 60 days.
As a reminder, login
here using your ULI credentials. Once inside the platform, click on “Schedule & Tours” to locate any sessions you would like to watch, organized by the day they first aired. You will also see a “Product Councils” tab along the menu bar which will provide
access to all the activities happening during Product Council Week (schedule below), including your Council meeting(s).
A few tips and tricks:
- Once you have clicked on the “Product Councils” tab, search for your Product Council by acronym (ex. AWHC for Affordable/Workforce Housing Council) so you don’t have to scroll through all the Council meetings
taking place that week.
- You are able to update the time zone of meetings to match your location by clicking on “Adjust” at the top of the page.
Please note, you will need to do this on each page you view and it does not save.
- Specific Zoom links will be populated within each Product Council meeting so you can join your Council meeting directly from the platform.
- For those who would like to download an .ics file to add sessions to your calendar in Outlook, add the sessions to your personalized agenda by clicking on the calendar icon and then open “My Agenda” to save
the file.

Join Dr. Andrea Roberts, founder of The
Texas Freedom Colonies Project and Associate Director of the Center for Housing & Urban Development at Texas A&M University, in conversation with Shawn Barney, managing director of CLB Porter, LLC,
as she discusses her own career trajectory and her commitment to bringing to light the role that planning has played in reinforcing anti-blackness and social control in our built environment. We will hear from Dr. Roberts how anti-blackness shaped African
American settlement patterns and approaches to placemaking in rural and urban contexts.

and other much discussed topics. Major shifts in planning practices in the last two centuries that shaped the condition of cities, often seen as progressive, were also fundamentally hostile to black communities.
