La data de 22 April 2026, Brussels will host the City and State Architects Meeting, bringing together leading urban practitioners and policymakers from across Europe. The event is organised by the Architects’ Council of Europe & the ARCH-E project.

Taking place at the Swiss and Estonian Embassies, the programme will explore how cities can ensure high-quality architecture through policy, design competitions, and governance models. Highlights include discussions on the ARCH-E White Paper, presentations of best practices from across Europe, and a preview of the ACE–UIA addendum on architectural design competitions.

Participants will also take part in a guided architectural tour of Brussels, visiting recent projects such as Kanal, Gare Maritime, and Tour & Taxis, alongside smaller competition-based developments that support emerging practices.
