New European Bauhaus for Increasing Urban Biodiversity

Two people are working together at a table covered with numerous yellow sticky notes. The notes contain handwritten text and are being sorted or rearranged. In the foreground, there is a large sheet of paper with a matrix labeled “EASY” and “IMPLEMENTATION.” The scene suggests a creative workshop or group brainstorming session.

URBIO BAUHAUS strengthens urban biodiversity through design, science, and participation—in line with the New European Bauhaus. Biodiverse islands and a transnational master plan promote sustainable urban development.

The loss of biodiversity due to climate change is enormous, also in urban areas. To counter this negative development, the URBIO BAUHAUS project protects and boosts urban biodiversity by combining aesthetic design, citizen participation, and science. With this holistic approach, the project innovatively integrates “New European Bauhaus” principles to develop urban biodiversity solutions.

The partners create and test biodiverse islands to preserve keystone species together with affected citizens and deliver a transnational policy master plan for further fostering long-term collaborations between science, policy makers, and locals.
