The International Urban Planning and Environment Trade Fair, also known as TECMA, is a key meeting point for sustainable urban development and environmental transformation. The event, now in its 22nd edition, will bring together leading companies in urban waste management and feature the Madrid Cities Forum, a hub for exchanging ideas, projects, and visions about the path cities should follow. The fair will take place from September 9th to 11th, 2026, at IFEMA MADRID.
The event targets professional visitors from around the world, with 14,500 attendees expected to attend from 51 countries and 238 exhibitors. The fair aims to promote sustainability and responsible urban development, with a focus on the latest innovations and trends in urban planning and environmental management. The program will include the Escobas Awards, which recognize outstanding initiatives in improving waste management, cleanliness, and urban order.
AFAMOUR will be present at the fair, attending not only as an exhibitor but also as an authoritative voice in the defense of inclusive, sustainable, and humane urban planning. They will convey the need to incorporate universal accessibility criteria from the design phase of parks and urban spaces, highlight the importance of play as a fundamental right of children, and promote an industry committed to sustainability.
The fair will feature a variety of formats, including an exhibition space, the Madrid Cities Forum, and the Escobas Awards. Visitors can access the fair easily using public transport, with direct connections to the airport and the city center, and can also use city bus lines and intercity bus lines. The fair will be held at IFEMA MADRID, with improvements being made to the facilities, so visitors are advised to use public transport.
