One of ULI Belgium’s top priorities is to become a key influencer in the Belgian real estate landscape. As an organisation, we have the potential to find realistic solutions to local problems—solutions that will allow us to have cities that are more vibrant, dense, attractive and innovative.

To help realise this potential, increasing awareness of ULI in Belgium is essential. To raise our public profile, we aim to focus our programming on important local issues, stage large-scale events that attract diverse audiences, and foster partnerships with local organisations. Through effective and inspiring programming, we hope the public will learn about ULI’s mission, what it offers members, and what it brings to our communities.

We could not achieve these goals without members who play an active role in shaping our programmes and initiatives. If you are interested in becoming more involved with ULI Belgium, please e-mail belgium@uli.org.
