KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 26 (Bernama) -- The Urban Land Institute (ULI), a non-profit education and research institute, is calling for students in the Asia Pacific to compete in the ULI Hines Student Competition.
According to a statement today, the competition is currently open for registrations and the deadline for registration is Dec 16, 2022.
The annual competition will test students’ skills in applying their knowledge of real estate and land use in a practical and challenging exercise, with the top three finalists receiving a one-year ULI student membership.
The winning team will also receive a fully paid trip to the 2023 ULI Asia Pacific Summit in Singapore, to be held from May 30-June 1, 2023, where they will present their winning proposal.
“This competition encapsulates what our founder, Gerald D. Hines stood for, as he was a true advocate and pioneer for innovation, education and opportunities for the future leaders of our industry, so we are delighted to be part of this global collaboration that inspires young people to create better communities.
“Programmes like this will have a real and tangible impact in supporting the next generation of creators and leaders, and we are excited to see what the future holds for the Asia Pacific region,” said Hines Asia Pacific chief executive officer, Ray Lawler.
Founded in 1957, Hines is a global real estate investment, development and property manager, with operations in 28 countries.
Meanwhile, ULI Asia Pacific president, David Faulkner said the institute is delighted that Hines has continued their partnership with the expansion of the competition to the Asia Pacific.
Following its success in the Americas and the Europe, Middle East, and African regions, the competition in Asia Pacific aims to boost interest in the key aspects of urban development and redevelopment among younger generations to help foster the creation of better communities.
The initiative is part of ULI’s ongoing effort to increase awareness of the need for multidisciplinary solutions to development and design challenges.
