We were thrilled to welcome over 150 students from 20 winning teams from the UrbanPlan programme yesterday to network, reflect on their experience and compete in a unique escape room 🔑 Teams from across the UK from Cardiff, Leeds, Brighton, London and beyond came together to celebrate the programme's success, which has so far introduced over 10,000 students to the real estate industry. We are proud to have initiated the academically challenging and realistic programme, an unparalleled resource that introduces students aged 14-18 to the fundamental forces affecting urban regeneration and aiming to diversify the next generation of young professionals across the built environment. Thank you to Van Stults, Urban Plan, Executive Committee Chair of UrbanPlan and Managing Director of Orion Capital Managers for providing insights into the programme and the difference it has made to many students' lives. Thank you also to our fantastic speakers Imogen Thompson of ULI United Kingdom and Surahna Robinson Nehmet, previous UrbanPlan participant and current urban planning graduate! Finally, thank you to facilitators Richard Alexander, Leonie Carpenter, and Carla Lewis, and to ULI Europe's Sharon Thomas for organising the event. Get involved in the programme as a sponsor, volunteer, or school here - we are currently expanding across all European countries: https://lnkd.in/gVUVZ4wa
