Sustainable Land Development Seminar – Day 2

“Sustainable Land Development – Ensuring Growth in a Green Economy”

Vertical Integrated Mixed Use Projects

Participants will explore the various mixed use project approaches combining different uses in the same project boundaries and within the same building. This project approach will be illustrated by case study and discussion of regulatory requirements guiding the layout and construction of vertical integrated mixed use projects.


Land Development Engineering Opportunities

Land development engineers will need to re-invent, re-brand and institute structural diversification to lead community growth patterns through action rather than reaction to industry changes: government, partnering, industry professionals, and design trends.


Social Networking for the Land Development Engineer

Not only will the industry alliances change but business development and client relations will change with the technological trends. Social networking will change our industry practices and learn how to effectively use: LinkedIn, Facebook, Tweeter, and Blogs.


Diversification & Profit Centers

Establish new profit centers in your marketplace to establish a solid foundation for consistent future growth for the land development engineer. Discussions will include a traditional client base but approached from “out-of-the-box” thinking. Partnering diversification will focus on alliances which have been overlooked by most land development engineers.


Cluster Land Planning Hands-on Exercise

Participants will compare a traditional single family subdivision to a low impact development approach with different price points but with an identical land price.
