The international financial and economic crisis has slowed down the dynamic growth seen in the economies of Central and Eastern European states quite significantly. The effects on spending power and investment have been very negative in certain sectors. What effects has this crisis had, particularly on the real estate sector in the CEE-Cities, and what developments, problems and opportunities are being predicted for the future? Which partnerships can be fostered between property investors, towns and cities under these current circumstances to facilitate intelligent, long-term city planning and profitable real estate development?

The City of Vienna is hosting a symposium and inviting a whole host of top-ranking representatives of CEE municipalities and internationally renowned experts to discuss the burning issues in economic, real estate and municipal development.

These discussions are to take place on the 18th May 2010 from 1 pm - 5 pm at the Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Centre, hall – Strauss 3.
