The chair is a tribute to Robert Van Straelen, founder of the Master in Real Estate Management (MRE) and highly regarded professor, and aims to highlight innovation in the real estate sector. Prof. Robert Van Straelen founded in 1995 a real estate training for professionals: the Master in Real Estate Management (MRE). This training is today a very successful and appreciated executive master at the Antwerp Management School, RICS accredited, and a reference for real estate training in Belgium. Real Estate Society (RES vzw) is the extensive alumni network of this master. As an alumni association, it has taken the initiative to establish and finance this chair. The 'Robert Van Straelen Chair' is therefore a tribute to this highly esteemed professor and aims to put innovation in the real estate sector in the spotlight. PROGRAM: 6.30 PM: REGISTRATIONS 7:00 PM: LECTURE The bottom of the urban ladder: How urban immigrant districts succeed or fail How do families move from the mud floor to the middle class? The urban districts where newcomers first settle - "arrival cities" - are the focus of much attention in Europe and North America. They can be the places where a new middle class and creative energy are born, or places that slide into poverty, crime and extremism. What makes the difference? How do you turn failed districts back into successes, as some cities have done? Doug Saunders has studied and chronicled scores of cities on five continents, and has developed, with the World Bank, a set of principles that can make urban immigrant residential districts into successes - using housing, urban planning, transportation, business policy, education and citizenship. He provides a photographic tour of the ideas that make these landing-pad neighborhoods into successes. Speaker: Doug Saunders Doug Saunders is a British-Canadian journalist and author. He is the author of several books, most notably 'Arrival City: The Final Migration and Our Next World' (2011) 'The Myth of the Muslim Tide' (2012). He is the foreign policy columnist for the Canadian newspaper 'The Globe and Mail'. For this newspaper, Mr. Saunders left the European office in London for a decade after he headed the Los Angeles office of this newspaper. Mr. Saunders has written extensively about East Asia, the Indian subcontinent, the Middle East and North Africa. Every week he writes a column devoted to broader themes and the intellectual concepts behind the international news. He has won the National Newspaper Award, Canada's Pulitzer Prize counterpart five times. At the 'chair of Straelen', Mr. Saunders the work he did on the success or failure of 'Arrival cities', the neighborhoods where many immigrants initially settle. After writing the book 'Arrival City: The Final Migration and Our Next World', which describes the arrival neighborhoods, he looked at the factors that make such neighborhoods a problem or a success story on behalf of the World Bank. 8.30 PM: RECEPTION 10 PM: END LOCATION: Tassiszaal, Hof Van Liere, Prinsstraat 13, Antwerp PARTICIPATION FEE: (incl.
