What is the CAUE?

The Architecture, Urban Planning, and Environment Council (CAUE) is a public-interest body whose aim is to promote the quality of architecture, city planning, and the environment in French departments (administrative regions). The CAUE emerged through the initiative of local leaders and is chaired by a local elected official. The CAUE works at every scale, from the smallest lot to the largest region.
