You are invited to attend the first one-day ULI event held exclusively for European ULI Young Leaders. The European Steering Committee agreed to programme a day focusing on regeneration and restructuring in one of Europe’s leading cities, Barcelona. This seminar is an opportunity for Young Leaders to meet and hear from leading city and business leaders and gain valuable insights into their expertise, experience and success. The seminar will examine the tools and instruments that have allowed such successful development, investigate public private partnerships and how to make them really work in your own context, and give attendees the opportunity to connect and learn with peers from across Europe.
