Time to act: For high-quality architecture and living environment for all<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The European Union is developing an integrated and people-centred approach to a sustainable built environment, where architecture has a major role to play to design buildings, public space and urban landscapes that contribute to citizens\u2019 quality of life. It does this through many EU policies and funding programmes such as the cultural policy and the initiatives of the Creative Europe programme. The current EU Work Plan for Culture 2023-2026<\/a>, includes quality built environment in the actions for EU cooperation on culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Architects\u2019 Council of Europe develops policy positions to contribute to the EU decision-making process and liaises with the European institutions to advocate on behalf of the architectural sector.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
