Your Housing & Living Environment Expert
Housing & Living Environment
Where global dialogue meets local ambition
Conferences in this domain do more than exchange insights. They help turn vision into impact. When you bring together experts in sustainable building, urban planning, or housing policy, you also bring momentum to regional initiatives.
Organising your event in Flanders means working alongside housing providers, local authorities, research institutions, and civil society. It also means strengthening a shared commitment to future-proof cities, healthy homes, and a socially cohesive environment.
In line with broader social and environmental goals
Flanders aligns its housing and spatial planning policies with the Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities. Our region has committed to ensuring that, by 2030, at least 80% of homes meet quality and safety standards — with a strong focus on affordability, inclusion, and climate resilience.
The “Omgeving voor de Toekomst” transition pathway promotes compact, green, and well-connected living environments. Your conference in this field supports that trajectory and provides space to develop new approaches that bridge sectors and scales.
How your conference can create impact
Support innovation and knowledge sharing
International gatherings bring examples of circular construction, energy-efficient retrofitting, and integrated urban planning directly to Flemish stakeholders.
Foster collaboration across sectors
Meetings that involve local governments, NGOs, academics, and housing associations help build the networks needed to implement sustainable housing strategies.
Strengthen Flanders’ international engagement
Conferences underline Flanders’ ambition to be a front-runner in sustainable living and spatial resilience — and open doors to European funding and global partnerships.
Create long-term local benefits
The exchange of ideas leads to new pilot projects, strengthened capacity, and concrete investments in the housing sector — particularly in social housing and climate adaptation.
Help shape tomorrow’s living environments
By organising your conference in Flanders, you help advance the kind of housing and urban development that meets the needs of both people and the planet. It’s a chance to bring global knowledge into local systems — and to work together on inclusive solutions that will create a sustainable impact.
