The Land Use Law Center is pleased to announce our 15th annual Alfred B. DelBello Land Use and Sustainable Development Conference. Scheduled for Thursday, December 8, 2016, this year’s conference theme is the Economics and Equity of Sustainable Development.  

We invite you to spend the day at this educational event, with more than 250 attorneys, business professionals, and local leaders in attendance to learn about national, regional, and local innovations, challenges, and best practices.

As in previous years, the Land Use Law Center has been working with its Conference Board of Advisors—comprising local and national leaders in the field—to develop a conference program that will showcase innovative best practices in land use and sustainable development. Currently, the Center is pleased to announce that this year’s morning keynote presenter will be Vicki Been, Commissioner,  New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development.  The afternoon keynote address will be given by Doug Farr, FAIA, LEED AP, national leader in designing sustainable neighborhoods and buildings.
