Competition Mission Statement
The ULI Gerald D. Hines Student Urban Design Competition strives to encourage cooperation and teamwork—necessary talents in the planning, design, and development of great places—among future real estate professionals and the many allied professions, such as architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, historic preservation, engineering, real estate development, finance, psychology, law, and others. The site, to be announced on January 28, 2005, will be large scale and present complex challenges, needing practicable, innovative solutions that reflect responsible land use. The solutions are to be multifaceted, incorporating design, planning, market potential and feasibility, and development strategies. The submission to the competition will be a short statement as well as a series of schematic drawings.

The Competition Web Site
This Web site is dedicated to the urban design competition. It will be continually updated and supplemented as the competition progresses. Changes to the Web site will be indicated on the Update History page. Competitors and the public should direct all questions in writing to udcompetition@uli.org.
