The UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate has announced a partnership with the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation to establish the UCLA Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Program in Real Estate, Finance and Urban Economics. The transformative research program is the result of a $1 million gift from the Gilbert Foundation to fund research and scholarship on crucial economic issues.
“This is a transformational gift, both to UCLA and to the community at large,” said Martin H. Blank Jr., director of the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation. “The Gilbert Program will greatly assist the Ziman Center in expanding its efforts to help solve pressing issues that impact us all, including housing and mortgage markets, the affordable housing crisis, environmental sustainability, urban transportation, municipal finance, the regulatory environment, capital markets and macroeconomics.”
Ziman Center Director Stuart Gabriel added, “UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate provides crucial economic research, and its work is cited widely by media, academics, policy planners and community stakeholders. This gift amplifies that impact, while it prepares the next generation of leaders to address these issues as well.”
