From March till June 2008, RICS organised the RICS EU Sustainable Urban Regeneration Lecture Series in Brussels

The lectures focused on the social-economic features of actions taken with a view to urban regeneration.

On the basis of the presentations and the debates an RICS FiBRE (Findings in the Built and Rural Environments) was created, containing a set of recommendations. This FiBRE will be launched during the 'Sustainable Cities & Communities' conference in Geneva on 30 September 2008.

For more information contact Sander Scheurwater of the RICS EU Public Affairs Office at sscheurwater@rics.org

More information is available at the download section at the right-hand side of the screen.
