Joe Montgomery has joined the Urban Land Institute (ULI) as its new Chief Executive for Europe.
Responsibilities will include the expansion of its services and membership across Europe, and increasing the collaboration between public and private sectors in real estate and city development.
He has joined ULI from the U.K. Government’s Department for Communities and Local Government, where he was Director General.
ULI is a global research and education institute dedicated to responsible land use and sustainable community building. Currently, ULI has nearly 30,000 members worldwide, including more than 2,300 in 14 countries across Europe. The Institute’s European operations are run from offices in London and Frankfurt.
Montgomery, who has spent most of his 27-year career as an urban regeneration specialist in central and local government was a ‘compelling choice’ to be Chief Executive of the Institute’s operations in Europe, said ULI’s Global Chief Executive Officer Patrick L. Phillips. ‘I am confident that under Joe’s leadership, ULI can reach deeper into more areas of Europe and become more effective as a global knowledge exchange on land use. The Institute is committed to helping cities face the challenge of sustainable development and Joe’s expertise in public-private collaboration will be invaluable in this regard. Our continued success in Europe will serve as a bellwether for what ULI can accomplish worldwide.’
