Meet the Chief Planners 2024
On March 27th, 2024 ULI Toronto hosted its TENTH annual Meet the Chief Planners dinner, celebrating our public sector visionaries – and the important synergies across the entire land and development eco-system.
In true Urban Land Institute fashion, this dinner brings together the broadest array of real estate and land use professionals – across both the private and public sectors to advance the ULI global mission to: “Shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide”.
Thank you to all of our speakers and our senior planning officials – our celebrated guests. This wouldn’t be possible without all our sponsors. Thank you to all of them.
