The European Executive Committee last week selected Berlin as the host city for the next Young Leaders Study Tour. The German capital was shortlisted alongside Madrid, with the Spanish team submitting a very strong proposal focused on recovery from financial crisis, technology in relation to climate and new living trends. The final decision was, however, decided by our poll which counted almost 400 European Young Leaders cast their vote.

Listed as one of the top three cities in the latest Emerging Trends in Real Estate® report, it seems appropriate for the 2020 event to be happening in such a vibrant and diverse city. The German team promises to host an exciting tour, tackling and exploring themes of sustainability, communities and innovation in real estate and urban development. Details of the event will be revealed in due course.
