Sustainable Urban Regeneration: The Power of Design in Transforming Cities in Europe

How can smart design advance the European Green Deal?

On Wednesday 25 October, we invite you to join us at the high-level event Sustainable Urban Regeneration: The Power of Design in Transforming Cities in Europe to explore the role of urbanism and design in delivering sustainable, inclusive and safer cities.

Across Europe, local governments are working with NGOs, philanthropic organisations, citizens and artists to improve mobility, develop infrastructure and enhance living spaces through innovative interventions on streets, buildings and green spaces. Join us to hear from the actors leading this transformative work both at the city and European levels. The event will showcase projects supported by the New European Bauhaus, which illustrate the impact of the revitalization and repurposing of public space.

Featured speakers:

• Iliana Ivanova, EU Commissioner for Innovating, Research, Culture, Education and Youth
• Ruth Reichstein, Member of the Advisory Board of the EU Commission President
• Elke Van de Brandt, Brussels’ Minister for Mobility, Public Works and Road Safety
• Andy Deacon, Managing Director at the Global Covenant of Mayors
