Urban Land Institute (ULI) – Conference and Workshop
Budapest, 17-18 June 2013

The Urban Land Institute is a non-profit research and education organisation supported by its members. Founded in Chicago in 1936, the institute now has over 30,000 members in 95 countries worldwide, representing the entire spectrum of land use and real estate development disciplines, working in private enterprise and public service.

In Europe, we have 2,000 members with a particularly strong presence in the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Spain. The regional office for Europe is headquartered in London.ULI brings together industry leaders with a common commitment to improving professional standards, seeking the best use of land and following excellent practices. We perform like a thinktank, providing advice and best practices in a safe setting to public officials and other urban leaders who may not have a real estate background. By engaging experts from various disciplines we can arrive at responsible answers to problems which would be difficult to achieve independently. ULI shares its knowledge through various discussion forums, research, publications, and electronic media.

All these activities are aimed at providing information that is practical, down-to-earth and useful so that on-the-ground changes can be made. By building and sustaining a diverse network of local experts, we are able to address the current and future challenges facing Europe’s cities.
