"In Denmark, we have world-class architects and builders, and we are pioneers in many fields, including the implementation of new standards for sustainable construction, a position we should exploit further. My chairmanship will focus on expanding the international network for our Danish members. Additionally, I will work to attract internationally prominent ULI members from around the world to Denmark with the goal of sharing their latest research and expertise for the benefit of urban development in Denmark. The upcoming ULI C-Change Summit in Copenhagen on October 11th is just one example of how leading international research and expertise, under the auspices of ULI, can be brought to Denmark," said Jack Renteria.

European Summit in Denmark One of the first events happening after Jack becomes chairman is an international summit in Copenhagen – The ULI's European C Change Summit, taking place at the Danish Architecture Center, BLOX, on October 11th. The conference will delve into the barriers faced by the European real estate industry on the path toward sustainable construction.
"ULI is a respected organization and is influential when legislators and decision-makers discuss measures to promote sustainable construction, spanning from financing to realization and operation. It is a great honor for Denmark to welcome European stakeholders and engage in discussions about challenges and opportunities. The climate agenda will fundamentally change the industry, and we need to collectively define the new rules," says Jack Renteria.
