The Living Spaces catalogue “Cities and regions driving high-quality architecture” is out!

20.11.2023

What do a sport centre in Spain, a social housing estate in France, an urban park in Latvia and a library in Finland have in common? 
They are all climate friendly solutions designed for their specific context. These places bring people together while valuing the unique character of the local area and its urban surroundings. 


Real life examples of good practices to follow
These good practices and many more are now featured in the new catalogue “Cities and regions driving high-quality architecture”.  


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


The catalogue features 30 documented examples from 17 European countries with information on management, budget and transferable ideas to inspire other cities and regions to implement their own projects.

Living Spaces: an opportunity to learn from each other 

This catalogue is developed as part of Living Spaces - Cities and regions shaping the built environment for everyone, the European peer-learning programme on high-quality architecture and built environment.  


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.

The practices featured in this catalogue are examples from the ground, selected through a call for good practices. They demonstrate the expertise and creativity of European cities and regions in shaping a high-quality living environment for everyone.  

Follow up opportunities
12 peer-learning visits will be organised in 2024 to learn more about some of the examples from the catalogue. The visits will be open to participants from European countries in the coming weeks through a call for participation. Don’t miss out this opportunity and subscribe to the project newsletter to receive Living Spaces’ updates in your mailbox.
