WGIN selected as partner of the New European Bauhaus

The World Green Infrastructure Network (WGIN) has been selected as official partner of the New European Bauhaus (NEB).

The New European Bauhaus initiative aims to connect the European Green Deal to our living spaces by calling on all Europeans to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future that is beautiful for our eyes, minds, and souls.

Being inspired by the 1920s Bauhaus current, that synthesized scientific, technological and artistic innovation and transformation, the NEB pushes for cross-disciplinary debates and ideas to rethink our current practices and rebuild our places according to the principles of, sustainability, quality of experience and inclusiveness.

During the co-design phase of the initiative, the New European Bauhaus teamed up with inspiring networks, associations, and organisations that are committed to act as promoters and key interlocutors throughout the project.

WGIN is proud to join the community of NEB partners, which include leading architecture, design and urban planning schools, universities, NGOs as well as networks of cities, mayors and local authorities.

Through the inputs of contributors and partners, the NEB co-design phase will lead to the launch of at least five concrete pilot projects in different EU Member states, as innovative projects bringing the new Bauhaus concept to life.

Green infrastructure, such as green roofs and walls, are a perfect example of combining sustainability with aesthetic and inclusiveness and can greatly help reconnect nature and human beings in cities and urban areas across Europe.

Resilience by design? Future-proofing urban environments through green roofs

We are happy to present the WGIN European Chapter latest White Paper, which explores the numerous benefits of green roofs as part of sustainable urban green infrastructure. This document provides an in-depth overview of the benefits of green infrastructure solutions, featuring real case studies that highlight their positive environmental, social and economic impacts. It also outlines the crucial role the European Union has been playing and can continue to play in supporting the widespread adoption of these solutions through effective policies and robust regulatory frameworks. Luigi Petito, Head of Secretariat of WGIN European Chapter: “We are pleased to have access to a powerful new paper highlighting the broad benefits of urban green infrastructure. This will be especially valuable for our ongoing work on the follow-up to the European Water Resilience Strategy and the forthcoming European Climate Adaptation Plan”.
