The Ismaili: Mawlana Hazar Imam underscores the value of land planning in sustainable development during an address to the Urban Land Institute in Paris

Paris, 31 January 2012 — On the heels of being awarded the J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development, Mawlana Hazar Imam addressed a leadership dinner at the Urban Land Institute Europe Annual Conference held in Paris.

“The Aga Khan Development Network attaches central importance to the role — in the world in which we work — of property impact investment,” said Mawlana Hazar Imam. “Whether one is developing a university, a hospital, a school, a park, an historical site, a commercial enterprise, a municipal facility, or a regional network of institutions, land planning, building development and financing are fundamental variables.”
