Beautiful,sustainable, together: validation of the New European Bauhaus approach for the reimagination of publicc buildings as boosting projects for the transformation of their neighbourhoods.
Of European scope.
In collaboration with other entities. Role: Member
Climate change and the green transition are global challenges that require action to be taken at the local level. The New European Bauhaus (NEB) promotes a place-based approach and supports small-scale initiatives by individuals, neighbourhoods and communities. At the same time, the functional scale of neighbourhoods has been demonstrated as highly efficient in the use of resources whenever they guarantee a spatial distribution of uses, infrastructures and urban functions and a rational building density. Unfortunately, the functioning at such scale is not always possible due to different degradation processes and urban challenges that lead to the absence of public facilities and services, progressive disappearance of the local commerce, abandonment or lack of care of green areas, etc. This situation also generates lack of sense of community and individualistic attitudes that increase the environmental impact on the use of resources and reduce the awareness on the power of collective action to achieve the green transition and cope with climate change hazards. The NEB combines the multilevel, participatory, and transdisciplinary approach to guide the transformation path towards more sustainable, aesthetic and inclusive communities. This project aims to start a transformation process in 5 different European neighbourhoods, following the principles of the NEB, and demonstrating that this approach is suitable for the transformation of any territory no matter its size, rural or urb
