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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
The idea behind this video essay series—produced by CrAFt’s Core Group of Students in 2024—is to explore personal feelings and emotions, and express who the protagonists are in relation to their surroundings, particularly the cities they live in.
This collection of videos aims to inspire positive change in society by using our emotions to highlight personal and collective issues and examine how our cities shape us.
One key to solving many urban problems is understanding the connection between our personal lives and the environment, both natural and built, and recognising when that connection is lacking.
The design and structure of cities have a profound impact on all of us. Still, their complexity can make it hard to grasp their full significance and how they affect our lives.
The CrAFt Core Group’s short film series “The place where I connect” brings together four individual members—Sophie Dandanell, Viola Ebermannová, Anastasia Kocheva and Elham Keshavarzi—in separate episodes, each reflecting on who they are in relation to their environment, where they live or where they come from, and what changes they hope to see.
Each episode presents a unique but interconnected narrative, offering personal insights that spark new ideas and highlight aspects of urban life that may be overlooked or undervalued.
The series, edited by CrAFt Core Group member Vitor Atschul, intends to show that by deeply reflecting on ourselves, our needs, and our role in society, we can better understand the complexities of the outside world, including the challenges, contradictions, inequalities, and opportunities within our cities. This introspective journey can lead to personal growth and a deeper self-awareness.
