Building Europe Better: Reforming EU rules for housing, infrastructure, and growth

​REPORT LAUNCH & POLICY DISCUSSION

​Europe’s ambitions on housing, energy security, competitiveness and infrastructure all depend on one thing: our ability to build physical things. Yet across the EU, projects are too often delayed, or made unnecessarily difficult by complex regulatory and planning frameworks.

​This event, hosted by Fergus McCullough (Progress Ireland co-founder) and Barry Cowen MEP, will explore how targeted and practical reforms to existing EU directives could help unlock housing delivery, accelerate infrastructure projects and strengthen Europe’s competitiveness, while still maintaining strong environmental protections.

​The briefing will include a presentation of the report’s main findings and a discussion on how Europe can better align environmental ambition with the urgent need to deliver housing, infrastructure, and economic growth.

​Join us for what promises to be a timely, thought-provoking and forward-looking discussion on one of the most important policy challenges facing Europe today.
