In May 2008, ULI announced a gift from New York developer Daniel Rose of $5 million over four years to underwrite the establishment of the ULI Daniel Rose Center for Public Leadership in Land Use. The ULI/Daniel Rose Center will initially undertake three programs:

• The Daniel Rose Fellowship Program: to provide city leaders with the information, insights, peer-to-peer learning, best practices, and experience they need to successfully build and sustain their cities;
• Professional development workshops for public officials; and
• Public/private forums on key land use issues.

An Advisory Board, composed of top business and political leaders and policy experts from across the country, including representatives from ULI’s leadership, provides strategic direction and ongoing program guidance to the Center.

The mission of the ULI Daniel Rose Center for Public Leadership in Land Use is to encourage and support excellence in land use decision making. By providing public officials with access to information, best practices, peer networks, and other resources, the Rose Center seeks to foster creative, efficient, practical, and sustainable land use policies.

Stay in Touch: The ULI Daniel Rose Center is pleased to offer all workshop participants the opportunity to stay in touch with each other and remain current on best practices and emerging models of sustainable development policies through an online resource center on sustainable development resources coming early in 2009.

ULI–the Urban Land Institute is an independent, nonprofit, education and research organization that is supported by its members. Its mission is to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide.

ULI sponsors educational programs and forums to encourage an open international exchange of ideas and sharing of experience; initiates research that anticipates emerging land use trends and issues and proposes creative solutions based on that research; provides advisory services; and publishes a wide variety of materials to disseminate information on land use and development.

Established in 1936, the Institute today has more than 40,000 members and associates worldwide representing the entire spectrum of the land use and development disciplines.
