SITES - Europan Eesti has proposed two sites for Europan 9. The sites are located in Tallinn and in Tartu. Each site has a study area, that provides an urban context for the project area for which an urban vision and further architectural elaboration is requested of the participants.
At this moment Europan Eesti and the sites are working on putting together the site files. Further information about the Estonian Europan 9 sites will be available later.

Forum of Sites - From 30 November until 2 December 2006 'Forum of Sites' is organised in Berlin. During this meeting the representatives of all the Europan 9 sites will gather to debate in thematic working groups. The goal of this meeting is to compare and analyse the tasks and programmes of the sites and, if necessary, improve them, before presenting the sites to the participants.

THEME of Europan 9 - "European Urbanity, Sustainable City and New Public Spaces".
