The Council for European Urbanism looks set to establish a new UK-based branch focussing on popularising the urban agenda
Following a succesful session at the A Vision of Europe conference in Bologna early in October, the CEU is moving to establish a branch in the UK. The urbanism scene is crowded there, but CEU-UK -- as the new organisation will be known -- will seek to popularise new European urbanism by working with local authorities and community groups.
