Worldwide Reach

ULI has had an international effort for more than 10 years. A series of study tours, conferences and exhibits at international trade shows has evolved into an effort well organized in Europe, Japan, South America and Australia. The ULI International Council convenes at the fall and spring meetings. There are also European and Japanese Councils, that meet twice a year.

During the last five years the United States-based real estate development industry has been transformed to become global in scope. This has occurred in many forms including joint ventures, acquisitions, and the establishment of branch offices around the world. ULI members have been in the forefront of this rapid transformation.

The change in how the land use industry does business has created tremendous opportunity for ULI. During the ULI vision effort in the mid 90s it was agreed that ULI would be responsive to the globalization of real estate development. ULI has therefore moved forward to solidify its international effort. It is clear that for ULI to be significant as an organization globally, it must integrate all its activities and programs of work.

Membership

The privileges of full membership in the Institute, including the opportunity to serve on a council, have been extended to non-U.S. professionals at a reduced fee. Of ULI’s 30,000 members, over 2,800 live and work in 87 countries other than the U.S.
