Description
Abstract
Institutions such as universities and hospitals are anchors in their communities. They are centers of employment, destinations for students, purchasers of goods and services, national centers of research, curators of arts and culture and owners of real estate. Anchor institutions play a vital role in their communities and have the power to bring about positive economic and physical change in surrounding neighborhoods. U3 Advisors is a nationally recognized consulting firm that provides real estate and economic development solutions to communities and anchor institutions. U3's three practice areas are 1)Transformative Real Estate such as working at a parcel scale level such as working with educational institutions on P3 developments; 2) Vibrant Campuses such as working with collaboratives of educational and medical anchor institutions on strategies to revitalize their anchor districts; and 3)Creating Equitable Communities such as our work with live/buy/hire anchor programs. Regardless of scale, there is one thing all of our projects have in common: geospatial analysis. U3's data driven approach and urban spatial analytics enables stakeholders to gain a block-level understanding of social, economic and real estate trends so that projects are designed to be as effective as possible. This presentation will demonstrate how geospatial analysis was used to develop and implement an anchor strategy and revitalize neighborhoods in a major US city.
