Within the past decade, ULI has found the Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development for commitment to responsible land development and has expanded its councils to about forty with offices opening in Europe, Asia, and South America. The National Building Museum named ULI as the 2012 Honor Award for its longstanding work in urban planning and developing sustainable communities.
