On Tuesday, May 19, the KPF President and Design Principal will join thought leaders and industry experts in a conversation focused on the importance of global business districts in major cities to mark the launch of the joint report from Urban Land Institute (ULI) and Ernst & Young (EY).

Edwards, President & CEO of Chicago Loop Alliance, Marie-Célie Guillaume, Chairman of the Global Business Districts Innovation Club and CEO of Paris La Défense, as well as Report Presenter Vincent Raufast, Senior Manager at EY.
