NEB ambition

The ultimate ambition of the New European Bauhaus is to achieve transformation. To do this, the NEB Compass has identified specific levels of ambition that outline the desired outcomes for each of the NEB values.

Action areas

These areas refer to the five key domains of intervention that CrAFt's New European Bauhaus Impact Model considers essential for guiding and evaluating complex urban initiatives.

Participation level

The participation level refers to the degree or extent to which individuals or groups are actively involved or engaged in a particular activity, project, or process. It assesses the depth of their involvement, contributions, and commitment, ranging from minimal or passive participation to active and dedicated participation.

NEB values

The New European Bauhaus (NEB) aims to promote the values of sustainability, aesthetics, and inclusion in the design and transformation of urban spaces. It emphasises the integration of environmental, social, and economic considerations to create harmonious and innovative living environments.

Implementation Stage

According to the Smart City Guidance Package, there are seven stages to plan and implement smart city projects. These stages propose a logical and coherent roadmap for city initiatives involving many stakeholders.

Share your insights on the future of cities. Call for Contributions

This online consultation on the role of arts and culture in shaping the future of environmentally sustainable cities is open between 8 and 31 January 2024.

On 6 December 2023, CrAFt organised the ReCrAFting Cities online session. This event brought together 11 speakers and 160 city representatives, cultural professionals and policymakers to exchange experiences around the contribution of arts and culture towards inclusive, creative and sustainable cities.

At ReCrAFting Cities, we also presented an online call for contributions to collect additional input on the topics discussed at the event. In particular, we are interested in how cities and the cultural sector might improve their cooperation for sustainable development and citizen participation. We are now looking for additional input, cases and stories of cross-sectorial cooperation, participatory governance and practical ways to put into practice the New European Bauhaus values.

This online consultation will be open until 31 January 2024. By participating in this consultation you will be contributing to further nourishing CrAFt’s ongoing work, including valuing the unique contribution of art and culture in shaping sustainable, resilient, and inclusive cities.

Filling in the questionnaire will take you 20 to 45 minutes to answer depending the details provided. Please feel free to skip some questions if they are not relevant to your work.
