The projects of these seven Belgian offices selected for the Brussels Architecture Prize each demonstrate spatial, social and ecological ambitions. During this debate, the speakers will discuss the accessibility of today’s public spaces through the notions of inclusiveness, sustainable development and soft mobility, which allow everyone, regardless of gender or generation, to benefit from them and experience the city together.

The Brussels Architecture Prize is an initiative of the Brussels-Capital Region that is implemented by Urban in co-production with A+ Architecture in Belgium. A series of five conferences, produced in collaboration with CIVA, invites speakers to address a specific theme through their architectural practice. This conference is the second in a series of five conferences.
