Sustainable Developer and Investor’s Roundtable

The Roundtable brings together non-profit and for-profit developers, government entities and authorities, foundations, financial institutions, environmentalists and other stakeholders committed to equitable, sustainable development across the Pittsburgh region. This forum will highlight forward-thinking collaborative efforts across Pittsburgh and serve as a platform to plan for sustainable development, increased affordable housing, and reduced use of hazardous building materials. In addition to presentations by leaders from these sectors, the forum provides an opportunity for thoughtful dialogue centering equity as we address our emerging regional needs around infrastructure, affordable housing, gentrification, and climate change.

One of the goals of the Roundtable is to further relationships and work towards a cross-sectoral shared vision for the region and aligning priorities, offering a pathway toward a coordinated, system-level response to our changing global context and the urgent needs of our local communities.
