“The Asian century is also the urban century and Australia needs to be at the forefront of new thinking and leading practice on urban issues,” Mr Verwer said.
“There is no more respected global urban and real estate thought leader than the Urban Land Institute and we are proud to be forming this alliance with them.
“This alliance will open up a powerful exchange of ideas on urban issues, providing members with opportunities to participate in stimulating study tours and creating a platform for joint research projects.”
A Memorandum of Understanding between the two organisations was signed by Property Council national president, Darren Steinberg and Simon Treacy, chairman, ULI South Asia in front of 500 people at the Property Congress at Sydney Town Hall today.
