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. LIFEBauhausingEurope 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 urban character, urban challenges or degradation processes undergone. This urban transformation will pursue the generation of more sustainable, beautiful, and circular territories co-governed by their inhabitants.
LIFEBauhausingEurope will be targeting public buildings and spaces and local communities from 4 different Member States: Croatia, Hungary, Latvia and Spain.
In order to achieve the general goal of the project, the following Specific Objectives (SO) have been defined:
SO1. Achieving an effective involvement of the partners for a high-quality implementation of the project, with proper management and continuous monitoring and report.
SO2. Bringing in sustainability, aesthetics and inclusion to the transformation of existing buildings.
SO3. Improving the urban metabolism at neighbourhood level.
SO4. Strengthening community and belonging sense in targeted neighbourhoods.
SO5. Assessment on the application of the NEB approach and project impacts.
SO6. Awareness raising and promotion of the NEB approach at technical and non-technical level.
SO7. Transferring and replication to EU stakeholders.
The Croatian Green Building Council participates as a technical partner to the City of Varaždin, where a building originally constructed as a military agricultural warehouse will be reconstructed. The building will be transformed into an educational-recreational center, serving as a multifunctional space for various activities, including educational workshops, sports and recreational events, and cultural and artistic exhibitions. This will significantly contribute to revitalizing an abandoned space, promoting sustainable construction, and creating a dynamic hub that encourages social, cultural, and sports interaction within the local community.
