The virtual and in-person Eurodelta Special Sessions during the 58th ISOCARP World Planning Congress will provide a global platform to explore challenges and opportunities of a functional transnational polycentric river-delta and global gateway on the European scale, consisting of the densely urbanized parts of the Benelux, Western Germany, and Northern France, with fast connections to the surrounding mono-centric metropolises including London, Paris, and Frankfurt. With Brussels as one of the central urban nodes, 'Eurodelta' is a potential transnational pilot area for territorial collaborative action to advance and implement the European Green Deal. By scaling up a global ambition while respecting and cultivating a very diverse microcosmos of healthy medium- and small-sized cities, Eurodelta can aspire the status of a 'glocal' megalopolis of more than 45 million inhabitants. In collaboration with Deltametropolis Association and Metrex, as well all three Belgian planning associations (VRP/CUB/FUP), ISOCARP is establishing a Community of Practice (CoP) to bring challenging and innovative Eurodelta issues and inspirations to the relevant tables of decision-making and -taking. The Eurodelta Session will take stock of most recent planning research and practices, and provide a platform to discuss and exchange megalopolis-experiences from all over the world.
