As we step into 2025, urban environments and commercial real estate (CRE) markets face complex challenges and shifting dynamics. ULI Baltimore's "Survive and Thrive: The 2025 Forecast" event will provide key insights into what we need to know and do to reimagine and regenerate our cities.

Join Rebecca Rockey, Deputy Chief Economist & Global Head of Forecasting at Cushman & Wakefield, for an in-depth exploration of both macro- and microeconomic trends shaping the future of cities. Rebecca will delve into the evolving landscape of CRE investment, with a focus on how ongoing debates around monetary policy, economic volatility, and urban challenges are influencing decision-making. She will also present her latest work on "Reimagining Cities: Disrupting the Urban Doom Loop", offering fresh perspectives on urban regeneration and the broader economic impact of downtowns and real estate revitalization.

In this session, Rebecca will explore critical questions such as:

What role do city-wide real estate footprints play in economic growth beyond downtowns?
How do cities and place managers navigate these challenges?
What strategies, guided by portfolio theory, can help identify optimal paths for urban regeneration?
Following Rebecca’s presentation, PwC will offer their 2025 Emerging Trends Report, identifying property sector opportunities, market dynamics, and favored locations for the year ahead.
