The European Commission Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EC EASME) and The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat)
are pleased to invite you to the launch of “Urban MAESTRO”

The quality of urban places in cities is typically not the product of a single intervention but results from the accumulation over time of a complex combination of factors, behaviours and decisions from multiple stakeholders. Through this action, UN-Habitat, University College of London (UCL) and the Brussels Bouwmeester Maître Architecte aim to explore innovative ways European cities are being designed and financed. Urban MAESTRO will focus on those approaches where public authorities act in a semi-formal or informal capacity as enablers or brokers rather than through regulatory or direct investment powers. 

The launch event will provide an overview of consortium partners’ activity in the field
of urban design governance, will seek feedback from urban practitioners, and will identify synergies with relevant urban policies implemented by Member States and related institutions.

The meeting is open to all interested parties but requires prior registration via email. Please confirm your attendance to unhabitat-europe@un.org
