The challenges and prospects of architectural policies in Europe were addressed at the European Forum of Architectural Policies (EFAP), organised by EFAP, under the auspices of the Cyprus Presidency, in cooperation with the Department of Public Works of the Ministry of Communications and Works, the Cyprus Architectural Association and the Cyprus Scientific and Technical Chamber. The conference constituted a forum for constructive discussions between architects and senior officials from EU Member States and was geared towards providing tools for promoting architectural quality and its impact on everyday life. The results are expected to contribute to the improvement of the legislative framework towards better architectural creation, urban design and to provide solutions to social justice, ecological and economic crisis.

One of the major impacts of the current economic crisis is the way it is deepening territorial inequalities at a time when the scope for public intervention to tackle inequality is being diminished as a result of widespread austerity measures. These developments pose many challenges for the analysis and management of territorial development strategies, particularly at the scale of cities and regions. The Regional Studies Association organised this conference to consider these issues. Presentations are available online.
