Foundation for the Urban Environment The Foundation for the Urban Environment Pierre Laconte (FFUE) focuses on the interface and synergy between:
1. Transport and mobility.
3.

Land use and planning, including cultural heritage conservation and improvement.
2. Environment: global/local levels Presentation and summary of activities

The Foundation for the Urban Environment (FFUE) is a permanent "charitable institution of public interest" authorized by Royal Decree of August 8th 1999 (Belgian Official Journal October 1st 1999). Its objective is to promote the urban environ

ment through publications and other activities, in particular the interface and synergy between:

-Land use and planning, including heritage conservation
-Transport and mobility
-Environment, global and local (climate and energy policies, clean soil, water and air, etc.). To this effect it has developed links with international organisations and associations active in the field of land use (e.g. ISOCARP, IFHP, INTA, IFLA) including heritage conservation (e.g. ICOMOS, Europa Nostra), of transport (e.g. ITF, UITP, CER, T&E) and of environment (e.g. EEA, SHE, INTECOPOLIS). ACTIVITIES

Since 1999 the FFUE sponsors a monthly lunch debate around "Ville et Société (City and Society)" at the Brussels Cercle Royal Gaulois artistique et littéraire. In 2000, it co-organised the Bologna International Exhibition "The Other Modern – The Traditional City and its Architecture in the 20th Century – Between past, present and future" and the International Conference on the same subject in the context of Bologna 2000 European Cultural Capital. This exhibition travelled to Berlin the same year and to Strasbourg in 2001. In 2001, it organised in New York, in collaboration with the Word Bank, the Conference "Cities on the Move: Towards Sustainable Urban Development" and, in Brussels, the Conference "Pôles de développement ferrés et urbains" (Rail induced urban development). In 2002, it was a partner in Proyecto Cities, an exploration of best practices in urban planning by Fundacion Metropoli, which culminated in "Cities and Regions Summit: smart land, smart cities". It has produced a "Charter of Environmentally Sustainable Development". From 2003, it organised yearly conferences and events related to Belgian issues. Its latest conference, in April 2014, covered "Rail transport central element of urban mobility". PERSPECTIVES

From 2015, the Foundation will extend its activities towards European and International issues, including participation into EU project, extending its present participation.

When victory and defeat are both impossible, compromise may be the only path. But can peace survive the burden of injustice?
