Shaping the built environment for everyone
Living Spaces is a peer-learning programme designed for local and regional authorities to learn how to plan and implement high-quality architectural policies and projects.

From July 2023 to November 2024, the programme will facilitate exchanges among the EU’s cities, regions, Member States and relevant stakeholders on processes and good practices. Funded by the creative Europe programme of the European Union, Living Spaces is implemented by Eurocities and the Architects’ Council of Europe.
