The built environments of our cities and regions do much more than just providing shelter or infrastructure for our movements and exchanges. They also mirror our European cultural diversity, our innovative spirit and our collective ambitions. Architects who work closely with public authorities craft the spaces in which we grow, live, learn, work, play, enjoy artistic experiences or take decisions that will mark history.

The catalogue is aimed at local and regional authorities, architecture and urban planning professionals, and anyone interested in quality, sustainable and inclusive built environment.

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 European Union’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.
