For over 70 years, the ULI Advisory Services Programme has worked to bring together the finest expertise in real estate to provide insights on best practice in challenging land-use issues ranging from planning, to development, heritage, and regulatory policy. In total, ULI has now convened more than 600 Advisory Services Panels, staffed by volunteers from its 40,000 inter-disciplinary membership base. By providing an unbiased outside point of view from this very deep pool of expertise, the Advisory Services programme has and continues to deliver fresh insights and innovative solutions to seemingly intractable real estate problems.
In January 2018, the Ministry of National Development’s Centre for Liveable Cities (CLC) and the Urban Redevelopment Authority of Singapore approached ULI to form an Advisory Services panel of 10 highly qualified practitioners to provide strategic advice on Jurong Lake District, a growth area that is planned as a smart and sustainable mixed-use business district.
