Introduction
This community showcases the latest research on 15 minute cities and practitioners' experiences in implementing the concept. It is an initiative of the ACUTE (Accessibility and Connectivity for Urban Transformation in Europe) project, whose aim is to create a knowledge hub for exchange in the field of urban accessibility and connectivity. Our purpose is to overcome the fragmentation of knowledge, experience, skills and outcomes. ACUTE addresses the challenges of sustainable urban passenger mobility, freight transport, connectivity and accessibility as an integral and essential part of sustainable urban development. ACUTE aims to create a space for stakeholders to exchange and co-create. The community provides an inclusive environment for urban actors from different backgrounds (researchers, practitioners, public administrators, entrepreneurs, social innovators, etc.) to discuss current issues and priorities and to identify the most pressing urban challenges of today and tomorrow.

Across Europe, cities are working to make active mobility an easy and enjoyable part of daily life. Yet challenges remain, from unequal access to safe infrastructure to social and physical barriers that shape how people move.
In Urban Lunch Talk #46: Boosting Active Mobility in the 15-minute City, experts from across Europe discuss what active mobility looks like in 2026, why barriers persist, and how cities can support more inclusive and active lifestyles. The talk will highlight regional differences and showcase key actors leading the shift toward healthy, movement-friendly cities.
Join us to explore how urban environments can make walking and cycling the natural choice for everyone.

Bonjour,
Je me permets de poster ce message sur ce forum sur la recommandation de Monsieur Elie Guitton, qui m'a conseillé de contacter Monsieur Alain L'Hostis.
Je travaille actuellement sur le temps d'accessibilité aux équipements de proximité, en m'appuyant sur le concept de la « ville du quart d'heure » (15-minute city). Je rencontre des difficultés à trouver des réponses précises sur deux poi... more

We invite you to join us in Brussels on 10 June 2026 for a full-day conference to engage in dialogues on how to future-proof cities and to expand your network.
The Decade of Action implies a growing urgency to translate high-level goals in the Urban Agenda for the EU, UN Agenda 2030, European Green Deal, and Competitiveness Compass into tangible local outcomes. With a mission to fund transformative research and innovation to build capacities of urban stakeholders and empower them to drive urban transitions in Europe and beyond, the European Partnership Driving Urban Transitions (DUT) is uniquely positioned to help cities deliver on European and global sustainability commitments.
The DUT Conference 2026 will highlight DUT’s flagship activities and strategic direction towards 2033, as well as concrete results, lessons learned and scalable solutions from DUT-funded projects on urban mobility, energy and circularity.
The conference will bring together stakeholders from academia, public authorities, private sector, civil society, policymakers and European institutions and initiatives. It will showcase and discuss transdisciplinary collaboration, innovative solutions, and scaling opportunities through a bottom-up research model that supports climate neutral, resilient and inclusive urban transition in Europe and worldwide. To ensure a truly global dialogue we invite participants and projects from across the globe.
On the programme
- Panels with experts, European and local leaders discussing the soft power of cities and how to build bridges between local experiences and European urban policies.
- Break-out sessions showcasing results and solutions from the first generation of DUT-funded projects in 15-minute City, Circular Urban Economies and Positive Energy Districts
- Panel sessions and workshops giving insights from DUT flagship activities, such as the DUT City Panel and Urban Doers Community
- Open Area: a space for DUT’s strategic partners and stakeholders to showcase their work
- First reveal of call topics for DUT Call 2026
- Networking
Please note that the conference programme is preliminary and may be subject to change.

“First life, then spaces, then buildings.
The other way around never works.”
(Jan Gehl, Danish architect)

Buildings and common spaces should be designed around the people who live in them. That’s why we place communities at the heart of the 2026 Festival of the New European Bauhaus. The Festival creates a place to understand people’s needs and aspirations and showcase projects that successfully reflect them. In doing so, it demonstrates how an inclusive, sustainable and high-quality built environment can foster community, strengthen resilience and boost competitiveness.
Join us for the third edition of the Festival of the New European Bauhaus! For five days, communities, creators and changemakers will come together to celebrate creativity, explore innovative ideas and shape a more inclusive, sustainable and vibrant future.
The biennial Festival showcases the best practices of the New European Bauhaus, the European Commission initiative that brings the clean transition to our built environments and improves everyday life for everyone. It aims to inspire communities to reimagine spaces, design better living environments and drive sustainability and inclusivity.
The 2026 edition of the NEB Festival will focus on Democratic Engagement, showing how citizens can be involved in shaping their communities, and on Affordable Housing, the foundation for strong, inclusive societies.
