Preceded by an inspiring roster of local and international speakers, young people from Brussels enter into a debate about the future of the city. What kind of city do they want to live in, what do they lack and what do they like about growing up in the city? What are their needs and dreams? How can young people help determine the (future of the) city and how can their voices be translated into policy? What quick interventions are possible to make the city more accessible and inclusive?
