The Lusk Center for Real Estate and the Cracow Real Estate Institute partnered to convene the American Real Estate and Urban Economics Association’s (AREUEA) 15th Annual International Conference in Cracow, Poland June 15-17, 2003. Over 100 participants attended the conference hosted at Jagiellonian University – one of the oldest universities in Central Europe. David Dale-Johnson, a USC Professor associated with the Lusk Center, co-chaired the 3-day conference with W. Jan Brzeski of the World Bank.
Two plenary sessions and 21 panel discussions and sessions were conducted involving participants from around the globe. Scholars from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Hungary, Russia, Austria, Singapore, Australia, Israel, France, Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Japan participated. Transition panels focused on real estate related challenges in countries that are in transition to democratic and capitalist systems, such as land development, brownfields, property tax, public leasehold, housing finance and housing policy. Other sessions involved research presentations on topics ranging from public real estate companies and mortgage pricing to spatial analysis.
AREUEA is internationally recognized as the premier real estate academic organization in North America. This conference provides a venue for international real estate scholars to present their research. Stuart Gabriel, director of the Lusk Center, is the organization’s incoming president.
Next year’s AREUEA International Conference will be held in Fredericton, New Brunswick in the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
