What is Europan?

Europan is shaping the idea of a Europe of the young architectural, urban and landscape design by federating European countries around competitions of urban-architectural projects and professional exchanges in these fields of design. Europan does so within the framework of the sustainable city and the qualitative changes that it operates, and taking into consideration the economy of resources, new mobilities and the enhancement of natural spaces. Europan addresses European cities in search of innovative urban answers to the evolution of lifestyles and environment.

Europan offers young European professionals of the architectural and urban design the possibility to express new ideas in projects that contribute to the development of the European cities, and we help implement operations that materialize these ideas; in this context Europan sets up professional and cultural exchanges so as to better share what is common to the European countries and cities, and to benefit from each other’s experiences while asserting the national, regional and local specificities.
