Using the framework of ULI’s national initiative, The City in 2050: Creating Blueprints for Change, Columbus 2050, provides a collaborative forum for land development leaders within the public and private sectors, to explore the underlying drivers of community growth, sustainability, and resilience.

The strategic vision is based on research conducted by undergraduate and graduate students from the City and Regional Planning program at The Ohio State University’s Knowlton School, the results of a World Café event with local stakeholders, a series of public meetings, and comments gathered from the public, online, and at the City in 2050 ULI Exhibition at Easton Town Center.

This multi-year dialogue to raise awareness about the need for innovative development practices in central Ohio.
