Urban est une administration de la Région de Bruxelles-Capitale.
Son objectif principal est de soutenir le développement territorial de la Région de manière durable, en mettant en œuvre la politique régionale en matière d’urbanisme, de patrimoine culturel mobilier et immobilier et de gestion des programmes opérationnels de revitalisation urbaine.

Parmi ces domaines fondamentaux du développement urbain, Urban assure également des missions administratives relatives aux primes à la rénovation et à l’embellissement des façades ainsi que des missions de conseil juridique, avec notamment la réforme du CoBAT. Urban joue également un rôle central dans la sensibilisation du public afin de le conscientiser au fait que nous construisons aujourd’hui la ville de demain.

Pour ce faire, Urban s’appuie sur une expertise interne importante, notamment dans les domaines de l’architecture, de l’histoire, de la documentation et de la réglementation, dans le but de répondre au mieux aux attentes des citoyens et des usagers.

Urban mène ces missions au moyen de la Direction Générale et de 6 unités administratives :
- La Direction de l’Urbanisme
- La Direction du Patrimoine culturel
- La Direction de la Rénovation urbaine
- La Direction Connaissance et Communication
- La Direction des Affaires juridiques
- La Direction Personnel et Organisation.

Urban assure également le secrétariat de 3 organes: la Commission Royale des Monuments et des Sites, le Collège d’Urbanisme et le Collège d’Environnement.
