Last month, The Urban Land Institute Los Angeles convened at the Reef for its annual Urban Marketplace event. The 2017 event, titled "Make a Deal, Make a difference," brought together professionals from a variety of industries to discuss the challenges facing developers and planners in modern Los Angeles.
Here is a look at some of the reactions from this year's event:
