Patrick L. Phillips, president and chief executive officer of ERAAECOM (formerly Economics Research Associates), has been selected as the new chief executive officer of the Urban Land Institute, a global research and education organization dedicated to responsible land use. Phillips is taking over the position being vacated by current ULI CEO Richard M. Rosan, who has led the Institute's staff for more than 17 years. Phillips is a ULI trustee whose career in the economic analysis of real estate and land use spans more than 20 years. Since 1993, he has coordinated all aspects of ERA's organization, strategy, business development, and service delivery.

His own consulting practice focused specifically on the intersection of private investment and public policy. To further expand ERA's reach and impact, Phillips guided the successful sale of the company in 2007 to AECOM, a globally renowned provider of professional technical and management support services to a broad range of industries, including land use, transportation, environmental and energy. In recent years, Phillips participated on such high-profile ULI advisory service panels as the post-Katrina panel in New Orleans and the post-9/11 panel in lower Manhattan.
