The federation

Brussels Town Planning Federation

The FBU’s objective is to enable its members to meet and to maintain a transdisciplinary debate on the city, aiming at promoting towards different public and private real estate and town planning stakeholders, a plural, innovative and sustainable vision of the city of Brussels.

Founded in 1976, under a non-profit organisation jurisdiction, the Federation brings together representatives of the public sector, design offices, the construction and real estate sector, academia and politics, for a harmonious development of Brussels’ city.

Many events are organized for our members.
