The rising use of technology, such as ride-sharing and driverless cars, will undoubtedly impact the real estate and commercial development industries. Will reduced vehicle ownership and easier commutes result in changes in how we build parking structures and consider our live/work environments? Will policies change to address parking and transportation issues? Join us as we address these questions and more at the USC Alumni Real Estate Network’s event featuring four esteemed panelists from a range of backgrounds; from planning, to construction and development, to transportation infrastructure, to financing, and beyond.
