Norm Van Eeden Petersman, Strong Towns’ director of membership, will speak at the ULI San Antonio Leadership Luncheon on September 10 in San Antonio, Texas.

LOCATION: The Tobin Center for the Performing Arts | DATE: September 10, 2025  |  TIME: Noon CDT

Join us for a thoughtful and solutions-oriented luncheon exploring the landscape of housing development in the San Antonio region. Norm will delve into the long-term impacts of suburban sprawl while highlighting the complementary role of higher-density and “missing middle” housing in creating resilient, inclusive, fiscally responsible communities.

Rather than elevating one housing product over another, this conversation embraces a “Yes, and” approach to addressing San Antonio’s housing deficit — recognizing that single-family homes, multifamily developments, townhomes, ADUs, affordable and market-rate units, for-rent options and owner-occupied options all play vital roles in meeting the region’s diverse housing needs.

Through expert insights and real-world case studies, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of why urban infill and more compact developments — though often more complex and costly to develop — are essential tools in the broader housing toolkit. This is an opportunity to explore how thoughtful planning, and policy can support a balanced, sustainable future for San Antonio. Reserve your spot today!
