Cities and investors in Europe need to do a 'new deal' in order to get out of the global economic crisis quickly and fully, according to the Urban Land Institute (ULI).
This fresh approach will see cities and investors working together to bridge the investment gap in Europe's cities so that Europe rebounds and embraces the opportunities of the 21st century.
ULI says public money and assets will be provided to help investors make development pay. Investors and developers will create jobs and infrastructure, improve energy efficiency, and contribute to wider public goals. Investors will find new ways to meet the public goals of city governments and cities will find new ways to use public resources to leverage commercial investment and boost returns.
The 'new deal' will be a central theme at the ULI Urban Investment Network Summit taking place on 28-29 October as part of international real estate fair Barcelona Meeting Point.
The summit is chaired by Barcelona mayor Jordi Hereu i Boher, with Greg Clark, Senior Fellow, ULI EMEA, moderating. The speakers include Alexander Otto, CEO, ECE Projektmanagement and Khaled Al-Aboodi, CEO Islamic Corporation for the Development of the Private Sector, Islamic Development Bank Group, Jeddah.
