ULF 2025 highlights the growing importance of investment, development, supply, and innovation in urban living. The festival aims to create a platform where leaders can share best practices and collaborate on future industry directions. With the sector’s rapid growth, particularly in living, hospitality, and flexible workspaces, ULF provides crucial networking and business opportunities.
Some of the sectors covered include:
Urban living sectors, such as BTR, co-living, and flexible workspaces, are experiencing significant investment. By 2028, European living sectors are expected to attract over €23 billion in investment. The global flexible office market, for instance, is projected to grow from USD 34.75 billion in 2023 to USD 96.77 billion by 2030. Additionally, the coliving sector has seen a notable rise in investor interest, with nearly £1 billion invested since 2020.
Urbanization is another key factor driving these investments, with the United Nations predicting that 68% of the global population will live in urban areas by 2050. In response, ULF 2025 will address how to meet the demand for new housing and workspaces in rapidly growing cities.
