'Shaping European Cities'

"Shaping European Cities," the opening event of the exhibition "European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award 2015" at BOZAR, Brussels, aims to strengthen the dialogue between policymakers, architects and a wider audience about the role of quality architecture as a key element for regenerating European cities, and opening up potential new paths for collaboration.

Organized by Fundació Mies van der Rohe and Cretive Europe, the format will be a series of short and high-impact talks followed by debates.

The mains objective of the event are:

To raise awareness amongst EU policymakers and the broader public of the importance of quality architecture in the process of shaping more ethical, fairer, greener and economically sustainable cities.

To raise awareness among public bodies and European decision makers of the fact that cities need investment in order to keep them competitive, attractive for youth employment and reinforce a local and European identity.

To explore new ways of collaboration between policy-makers and architects.

To reach these objectives three debate panels will take place during the event:

Panel 1: City economy and energy resilience

Panel 2: Social balance and living together

Panel 3: Democratic change for the cities of tomorrow
