Beautifully illustrated, this book showcases extraordinary development projects in the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia Pacific. Each is a winner in the Urban Land Institute's 2011 Awards for Excellence competition, widely recognised as the most prestigious award in the real estate development industry. This elite group includes a wide range of project types and sizes -- from residential housing to commercial and mixed-use developments and new communities. Packed with project data and innovative ideas, this record tours each development while providing information on how the projects developed, how they met demand in the existing market, and why they worked.
