Design-led Resilience Pathways for Places beyond Metropolis

Abstract

Climate change will turn how we understand, feel, and design cities. Cities are the stage and a key actor to imagine and realise a resilient present how we live and work together. The aim to transform Europe into the first climate-neutral continent will need inventive design for living spaces—that combines technology with arts, and that enhances new economic and social opportunities. The initiative New European Bauhaus calls urbanism and architecture to link, combine, and accelerate with other disciplines, other creatives, and with active citizens to set up a cultural project for Europe as part of the Green Deal. The creative research exercise of NEW BAUHAUS CITY responds to this call through setting cities at the core—as places where a multitude of phenomena occur at the same time, where people, space, flows, and ideas interact, where new quality of life can be imagined and achieved.
