Congress 2025 - Utrecht: Healthy Urban Living
Save the date for AoU Congress 2025
Date: Weds 11 - Fri 13 June 2025
Location: Multiple venues, Utrecht, Netherlands
Good urbanism focuses on places. Great urbanism focuses on people. The AoU’s Congress in Utrecht is an opportunity to explore how the city is making Healthy Urban Living a reality.
Capitalising on its heritage and location, the city is the fastest growing in the Netherlands. Yet it is the everyday that defines Utrecht’s urbanism. The city is home to one of the world’s busiest cycleways and, where a motorway once covered a historic canal, goods are now transported once more by water into the city core and people gather by the water’s edge. New neighbourhoods have social infrastructure at their core, and retrofitting old buildings for new uses is a given.
Challenges remain, recognisable in many other cities, but Utrecht’s placemaking approach to these new challenges is built on the confidence of how it addressed its past ones.
Join us in Utrecht, 11 – 13 June 2025, where we will investigate these themes through a programme of site visits, workshops, and talks from local and international experts.
Tickets will go on sale, and more details announced, very soon. Keep an eye on the AoU newsletter for updates, or subscribe to our mailing list below if you haven't already.
