A warm welcome to Angela Cain as our new Global CEO! 🎉 #Welcome #UrbanLandInstitute #Leadership
Today, I begin my journey as Global CEO of the Urban Land Institute, the world's oldest and largest network of multidisciplinary real estate professionals. With a membership base of over 48,000 experts worldwide, ULI is uniquely positioned to address the complex land use challenges that are critical to ensuring communities thrive for generations to come. In just over 25 years, the world’s population is expected to reach nearly 10 billion. Most of this growth will occur in our cities, with almost seven out of 10 people projected to live in urban spaces by 2050. This shift will place significant pressure on both established and emerging metropolitan areas, presenting global and local challenges that will require innovative, multi-faceted solutions. Organizations like ULI play a critical role in addressing these challenges by bringing together our members, partners, and other stakeholders from around the world. By leveraging our collective expertise, we can devise cross-disciplinary solutions that not only address global trends but also have a tangible impact on local communities. I am eager to amplify ULI’s mission-driven work and further harness the wealth of ideas and expertise within our membership. In the coming months, my top priority will be to serve as the organization's Chief Listening Officer, engaging with our staff, members, our vast network of districts and national councils, and partnering organizations to understand our current goals and to collectively shape our vision for the future. I am deeply grateful to the ULI board and search committee for their trust and support in welcoming me into this extraordinary organization. I look forward to working alongside our members to advance our mission to shape the future of the built environment.
