3rd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT

1-4 FEBRUARY 2023, ANKARA, TURKEY

“NEW REALITY, NEW NORMAL IN REAL ESTATE”

Areas of expertise such as land management, real estate development, project and construction management, facility and real estate management, real estate and asset management, real estate investment and finance have gained special importance especially in terms of achieving sustainability goals and planning and development of urban and rural settlements. In order to ensure economic and social development and to increase the level of social and individual welfare, the multi-purpose evaluation of information about the ownership, land tenure system, planning, use, valuation, financing, and technical infrastructure services of urban and rural land assets are considered and all activities that require taking decisions regarding the land assets and fulfilling the decisions taken are evaluated within this scope. In almost every country, special attention is paid to urban growth, development and expansion, land use, cadastre, zoning and title deed, land conservation, food production, planning and its sustainability. Especially in the changing world agenda after COVID19, settlement planning, real estate investments, planning and implementation, finance, taxation, facility and real estate management have gained special importance. In this framework, it will be possible to achieve the sustainability goal to a large extent by adopting new trends and technologies and implementing a circular economy approach. On the other hand, an increase is observed in the share of real estate and real estate-based instruments in the investment plans of households and businesses in many countries, and there is a great need for the analysis, measurement and protection of the planned investment.
