CrAFt: the EU-funded project for cities to become climate-neutral, beautiful and inclusive

We believe in bringing together cities and their citizens, policymakers, arts and academia to jointly shape the transition to climate neutrality.

‘I cannot wait to see these New European Bauhaus projects come to life. They will show how the future can look and bring the European Green Deal to our daily lives and living spaces‘.

Ursula von der Leyen
President of the European Commission
