The 58th World Planning Congress will be held in Brussels from 3 to 6 October 2022
The Brussels-Capital Region will be hosting this year the 58th edition of the ISOCARP World Planning Congress of City and Regional Planners. The topic of this edition will be “From Wealthy to Healthy Cities”. Planners from all over the world are invited to contribute to this event by proposing a research paper, track presentation or roundtable participation.
For the first time, Brussels is the host city of this event and State Secretary, Pascal Smet, was appointed by the Government as host of the congress.
This unique event will be organised from 3 to 6 October 2022 and will include technical tours, plenary sessions, workshops, walkshops and networking events, related to urbanism and town planning.
The different organising partners are in full preparation of the congress. From 20 to 22 April an ISOCARP delegation visited Brussels. This was the opportunity for the local organising partners Urban, perspective.brussels, and Environment Brussels to meet the ISOCARP organisation, to discuss different steps and to visit various urban development projects in relation with the topic of this forthcoming congress.
A theme that meets the objectives of the Region, which aims to improve the living environment of the inhabitants of Brussels, especially in the densest central neighbourhoods.
