ABOUT ULI CHICAGO
Welcome to ULI in Chicago. As one of the oldest district councils in the country with more than 1,500 members, ULI Chicago is the preeminent multidisciplinary real estate forum and is in a unique position to convene industry leaders and policy makers to provide leadership in the region for wise land use planning, long-term investment and sustainable development.  ULI Chicago brings leaders together to address and build consensus around solutions to land use challenges.  We also provide a vibrant forum for professional growth and development.

ULI Chicago’s Program of Work is varied and broad, with particular emphasis on our Technical Assistance Services and our on-going Retail Initiative.  We regularly convene events designed to promote interaction among members and focus attention on particular land use and development issues. I invite you to learn more about ULI by exploring our website including a schedule of local events in Chicago.

MISSION
The mission of the Urban Land Institute is to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide. ULI neither lobbies nor acts as an advocate for any single industry. ULI examines land use issues, impartially reports findings, and convenes forums to find solutions to complex land use problems, collaborating with industry and stakeholder groups worldwide. ULI advocates better land use planning, better growth patterns and better development to improve the overall quality of life in our communities.

ULI was founded on the basis of sharing mistakes made and lessons learned, and this culture of sharing remains in place to day. No other group offers members such a unique opportunity to learn from each other and exchange information on what works and what doesn’t.

Guiding our programming and decision-making, the Policy and Practice Focus Areas are broad and responsive to current land-use trends. Learn more about how ULI Chicago addresses these focus areas locally
