In the era of climate change and the uncertain world economic situation, a focus on our neighborhoods is crucial. The cooperation between the government, municipalities and private sector has never been more important. How do we create places where people are happy to build their lives? What are the pragmatic solutions for the cities of tomorrow? Which challenges face the architects and urban planners in the race for carbon zero real estate? These are just some of the questions we will seek answers to during the Urban Land Institute Poland Conference: REINVENTING NEIGBOURHOODS, which will be held on June 8-9, 2022, at the Raffles Europejski Hotel in Warsaw.
International and local real estate leaders from both private enterprises and public sectors will discuss the most pressing issues related to the built environment. - We have invited speakers from around the world to talk about how cities and the real estate industry should respond to the climate changes and the uncertain economic situation. We need to act together, businesses and municipalities, hand in hand for our neighborhoods - says Soren Rodian Olsen, Managing Director of Logicenters at NREP and Chair of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Poland.

Afterwards, Mark T. Hoffmann, Crime- & Intelligence Analyst, will give the inaugural lecture at the gala dinner.
