ABOUT LARESLARES (Latin American Real Estate Society) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote integration between research, education and practice in Real Estate. More specifically, LARES aims to encourage communication and exchange between academics, researchers and practitioners to develop high-level research in Real Estate. Through its affiliation with IRES - International Real Estate Society, an organization that joins the Real Estate Regional Societies (United States, Europe, Asia, Africa, Middle East and the Pacific), LARES encourages communication, dissemination and exchange of information and research across the world. Members of LARES can easily connect with members of sister societies, accessing a network of highly regarded researchers in the world.
ABOUT LARES ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES
As the main event of LARES, the international conference is an ideal environment where market professionals, researchers and academics can meet to share information at a high level, and give visibility to their research. The annual conferences of the LARES deal with current issues in real estate, looking to explore new frontiers of knowledge in the areas of investment and market analysis, legal and corporate real estate, real estate appraisal, product development, planning and urban development, real estate financing, project management, real estate transactions, environmental concerns and research methods.
This year, LARES is celebrating 10 years promoting the integration between research, education and practice in Real Estate. It is an important moment to the real estate sector, and it is opportune the reflection on the role of the society, the effects of actions that were conducted during these years, and discuss new ideas and improvement of current projects.
The main theme of the 10th International Conference of LARES concerns the behavior of real estate markets in Latin America, after the first effects of global financial crisis. For the real estate markets in Latin America in general, and in particular the Brazilian market, it is noted that there wasn’t a decrease in demand, but rather a relative decline due to the international crisis. Faced with a better economic perspective for the years to come, this demand tends to be more favorable. Considering that a recovery of the sector is expected, it is appropriate to promote the debate on opportunities, challenges and risks that might be expected in real estate markets in Latin America.
