New European Bauhaus

August 6, 2025

Time to read: 3 minutes

New European Bauhaus (NEB) is a policy and funding initiative that makes green transition in built environments and beyond enjoyable, attractive and convenient for all. Even the smallest communities on the ground deserve living spaces that improve their well-being and sense of belonging. The initiative promotes solutions that are not only sustainable, but also inclusive and beautiful, while respecting the diversity of places, traditions and cultures in Europe and beyond.

The New European Bauhaus works by:

engaging people at a grassroots level, focusing on neighbourhoods;
providing tools and guidance;
offering tailor-made solutions for different communities;
incorporating the views of various stakeholders into the process of design and implementation; and
prioritizing people and social inclusion but also the economy to boost competitiveness and EU strategic autonomy.
