The congress 30 Years: The European
City will throw open the topic of Urban Development into the centre
of debate. This topic influences politics and economics, as well the
general public. Urban Development reflects the structural transition
in society, but must also meet head-on the problems of sprawl and
demands for sustainability.
In 1975, the European Council initiated one of the most successful
urban development programmes in history. Its motto was: "A Future
for our Past". During the campaign the concept of the European
city was reborn: a common inheritance that must be protected, a tradition
that must be carefully developed and serve as an example for a better
city, both in Eastern and Western Europe.
The congress 30 Years: The European City will examine these
issues in two parts. The first part uses Berlin as an example of structural
change in Urban Development; what has happened in the past and how
it is adapting for the future. During the second part, projects will
be presented which show what is happening internationally. The exchange
of ideas and information is more important than ever, not only within
but especially beyond European borders.
The congress will debate the following subjects:
What are the traditions and perspectives of European Urbanism?
How will European Urbanism continue to develop?
What are today’s trends, Best-Practice Methods and their possibilities
for success or failure?
The organizer of the Congress is the Council for European Urbanism
(CEU). The CEU is a European network that promotes the improvement
of European urbanism through international cooperation and exchange
of ideas and experience. The CEU was formed in Brussels and officially
founded in Stockholm in 2003. The Council strives to improve the quality
of urban design, encourages the strengthening of local identity, socially-conscious
city redevelopment, and sustainable development, all within the perception
of the city and region as a whole.
