Enhancing the heritage of yesterday and building the city of tomorrow.

urban.brussels is the government agency responsible for implementing regional policies related to urban planning, cultural heritage, and urban revitalization throughout the Brussels Capital Region. 

Urban contributes to the creation of high-quality architecture in Brussels, plays a key role in preserving, enhancing, and conserving the regional heritage, and aims to sustainably improve the quality of life in all neighbourhoods in the region. 

Urban provides grants and subsidies for renovating Brussels buildings and restoring heritage. Additionally, Urban offers proactive legal advice on all regulatory aspects within its jurisdiction. 

Urban also promotes the development of Brussels' cultural policies and raises public awareness of architectural quality from different eras. To achieve this, Urban initiates research projects, develops educational materials, and organizes a series of cultural activities with the goal of introducing as many people as possible to Brussels' architecture. 

The agency has a wealth of expertise in history, architecture, documentation, and regulations, which it leverages to shape the Brussels urban landscape in a high-quality manner and meet the expectations of its partners and all citizens.
