NEW BAUHAUS CITY refers to the iniatiative New European Bauhaus, aiming to enhance creative action to transform built environment in order to reach climate-neutrality. The target on cities addresses two crucial dimensions in this context: cities will be places where different sectoral changes will have to play together, such as green building, sustainable mobility, circular economy, the use of renewable resources; and cities will be spaces to offer new liveability and inclusiveness. In a further step, the focus of this book, originating in a design research project at the Chair for Territorial Design of Leibniz University Hannover, is on places beyond metropolis: what are the specific challenges, positive trends and existing initiatives, and promising perspectives for towns and villages smaller than 100,000 inhabitants, where 2/3 of Europeans are living? NEW BAUHAUS CITY shows evidence from 10 selected case studies and offers methodological innovation through design-led analysis and visioning for sustainable urban transformation—highlighting the role of communities for resilience and promoting a new understanding of qualitiative density.
