Global Agenda Council on Real Estate 2011

Real estate investment, development and operations have become increasingly globalized in recent years. While most real estate firms operate on a local basis only, they often benefit from capital, supplies and technological know-how from abroad. Meanwhile, a growing number of real estate businesses operating across borders must compete within the broader global economy while facing pressure to continue thinking and acting locally to prosper.

In light of the increasingly global nature of the financial, service, knowledge and supply structures tied to the industry, this Council is dedicated to the development of constructive dialogue on key issues. Chief among these are providing efficient financial mechanisms for the industry’s needs, ensuring effective regulatory frameworks for financing and development, improving sustainable building designs and construction practices, and maintaining the supply and demand balance for development.
