Our city, our future: towards sustainable development in European cities

Voula Mega

European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions, Loughlinstown House, Shankill, C. Dublin, Ireland.

This paper looks at the trends in the urban Euroscape and puts in perspective some innovative projects identified in Europe conducive to (and necessary for) sustainable cities. Most of the projects come from a European overview of urban innovations(1) undertaken by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions.( (2)The overview focused on projects with a collective purpose, with significance for a city, projects resisting time and favouring local democracy and participation at the conception, decision and executive phases, projects introducing new ecological materials, techniques, methods and conditions and, last but not least, projects that produce culture and are cultural products.(3)
