THE MAJOR CHALLENGES IN REAL ESTATE,
UNDER DEBATE IN THE WHARTON SCHOOL GLOBAL ALUMNI FORUM
- Industry experts and business leaders will present their points of view about
the role of the real estate industry during the crisis and the challenges and
opportunities in the future.
Madrid, 15 June 2010. The Wharton School Global Alumni Forum will be the focus
for debate on the real estate industry next Friday, 25 June. Noted Spanish and
international experts will attend a round table debate on subjects such as the
importance of the industry to the modern economy, particularly during the
current crisis.
- What is the current situation in the European and global real estate industry
in 2010?
- Which are the key factors and potential alerts in the short and medium term?
- Will there be any relapses in this transition from crisis to recovery?
- The real estate bubble: are we safe or will it be back?
- How can the economic crisis affect the future development of the cities?
The round table that will bring light to this and other subjects will be chaired
by Olivia S. Mitchell, Professor of the Insurance and Risk Management Department
and Executive Director of the Pension Research Council, from Wharton School,
accompanied by Ismael Clemente, Managing Director RREEF from Deutsche Bank
(Madrid), Gordon DuGan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of W.P. Carey & Co
(New York) and Wharton alumni, Christian Schulte Eistrup, Managing Director of
Capital Markets-Europe, MGPA (London) and Wharton alumni, Pelayo Primo de
Rivera, Chief Executive Officer of Norfin (Madrid) and Wharton alumni, Alfonso
Vegara, founder and Chairman of the Metrópoli Foundation (Madrid) and Armin J
Lohr, Partner of McKinsey.
The general situation and the weakness of the real estate market has had serious
short-term implications both for investors and the banks. And in the long term,
it is also having an impact on the global economy and on our whole environment.
That is why a debate on the present and future of the real estate industry is
particularly relevant today. This panel of experts at the Wharton Forum will aim
to define the major challenges for the industry in Europe and the rest of the
world in 2010, the causes of the decline and how long the situation might last,
and whether the enormous investments made by governments to stimulate national
infrastructure were appropriate and the impact they have had.
