The three founding members of ULI Nashville (L to R): UT School of Architecture Professor TK Davis, Nashville developer Bert Mathews, and alumnus Hunter Gee (B.ARCH \u201994), founder and principal of Smith Gee Studio, were honored in May 2018.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Urban Land Institute is an international organization that \u201cprovides leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide,\u201d according to ULI Nashville’s website.<\/p>\n

The celebration included the Excellence in Development Awards, which honored Davis as well as two other founding members, alumnus Hunter Gee (B.ARCH \u201994), a principal of Smith Gee Studio, and Bert Mathews, a distinguished Nashville developer.<\/p>\n

Ten years ago, when Davis served as Design Director of the Nashville Civic Design Center<\/a>, Gee, Mathews and Davis worked together to establish the Nashville District Council. \u201c[Establishment of the council] was an idea long overdue and much needed,\u201d said Davis. \u201cWe were confident that it would be a complementary relationship to NCDC.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, a decade later, both NCDC<\/a> and ULI Nashville<\/a> are thriving and partnering on many events. In April 2019, the Nashville District Council will host approximately 4,000 leading members for the ULI Spring ¿ì»îÊÓƵing<\/a>. \u201cBeing selected as the host city is a distinct honor. [We\u2019ll have a] chance to show off the city and the organization,\u201d explained Davis. \u201cThis will be a wonderful opportunity for all members to get engaged [in our work].\u201d<\/p>\n

Other recent accomplishments of ULI Nashville include Gear Up 2020<\/a>, the Building Healthy Places<\/a> initiative, and the Civic Leadership Forum<\/a>. In addition, ULI has established a Young Leaders mentor program<\/a> and a Women\u2019s Leadership Initiative.<\/a><\/p>\n
