The Urban Land Institute
ULI—the Urban Land Institute is a community of practice for those engaged in the entrepreneurial and collaborative process of real estate development and land use policy-making. Founded in 1936, ULI now has 17,000 members working in the public and private sectors, a staff of 100 in Washington, D.C., and a $27 million operating budget.
ULI members are the people that plan, develop and redevelop neighborhoods, business districts and communities across the U.S. and around the world—experts from 13 different product sectors and 26 disciplines, working in private enterprise and public service.
ULI members learn by doing. In a community of practice, the learners are the teachers, and all participate. How can you get involved?
Most members participate in district councils working in some 40 U.S. metropolitan areas or in eight country councils in Europe, producing a variety of learning, networking and community outreach opportunities closer to home.
Some 2,000 full members belong to councils, each with 50 members, meeting for one day, twice yearly at ULI meetings.
These members own, control or enhance the value of more than 80% of commercial real estate in the U.S.
Others work on ad hoc teams, assembled to find solutions to complex, real world land use problems for those sponsoring advisory services panels, project analysis sessions and workshops.
Communities of practice are engines of knowledge and learning, problem solving and innovation, commerce and value-creation. Join the ULI community of practice. Experience the value of solving real estate problems while gaining new personal insights. Work with those you respect to achieve something that really matters.

Mission and Vision
The mission of the Urban Land Institute is to provide responsible leadership in the use of land in order to enhance the total environment.
ULI’s strategic direction is to extend its industry leadership to:
bring together the people able to influence the outcome of important issues related to land use and the built environment;
communicate who we are and what we—our members and our Institute—have learned about land use to increase ULI’s influence on land use policy and practice; and continue to provide relevant and current information about land use and real estate development to all our members and stakeholders.
