NEW EUROPEAN BAUHAUS FOR INCREASING URBAN BIODIVERSITY

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.
