Adam Kamins, Director with Moody's Analytics, reports how Western cities might be positioned to bounce back better than most, with local responses from leaders in those communities. A special address, “Recovery for Whom?” will view this topic through the lens of social equity and inclusion.

    Join us for this special webinar presented by ULI Arizona, ULI Colorado, ULI Idaho and ULI Utah.
