      ULI-the Urban Land Institute is a 501(c) (3) nonprofit research and education organization supported by its members. Founded in 1936, the Institute now has more than 40,000 members worldwide representing the entire spectrum of land use and real estate development disciplines, working in private enterprise and public service.

      As the preeminent, multidisciplinary real estate forum, ULI facilitates the open exchange of ideas, information and experience among local, national, and international industry leaders and policy makers dedicated to creating better places.

      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 is committed to

      Foreword

      For many years, the Urban Land Institute has showcased best practices in land development that accommodate population growth while preserving land resources. This continues to be a fundamental activity in the Institute’s mission to provide leadership in the responsible use of land and in creating and sustaining thriving communities worldwide. With over 40,000 members in over 90 countries, ULI is a source of creative change to encourage the early adoption of the best ideas in urban development.

      The recent instability of global capital markets creates yet another imperative for ULI. Real estate markets will be restructured and regulatory frameworks redefined. ULI’s mission calls us to forge ahead and proactively explore new land use paradigms and scenarios. This is a crucial time to help land use professionals innovate and explore new business strategies.

      With The City in 2050: Creating Blueprints for Change, we take the opportunity to create a dialogue that explores potential paths of innovation. The initiative is being presented as an exchange of ideas to prepare for and act upon the changes facing metropolitan areas over the next decades as the world becomes more urbanized.

      Elevated concerns over capital markets, rising energy costs, climate change, exploding populations, and equitable development are changing how communities define the responsible use of land. As these issues increasingly affect our daily lives, discussions regarding sustainable development continue to both broaden and escalate.

      In only 42 years, when we mark the midpoint of the 21st
