After more than fifteen years of stagnate economic growth, an environmental crisis, and a worldwide Covid19 pandemic, Puerto Rico seems to be uniquely positioned for long term economic development and growth. The Urban Land Institute together with the Puerto Rico Builders Association, came together to explore in a one day symposium how both the public and private sector can work together to reimagine, revitalize and rebuild Puerto Rico.
