"URBIO BAUHAUS Partners Visit in Érd

Last week, we took part in an inspiring visit to the Municipality of Érd, Hungary, together with our colleagues from the URBIO BAUHAUS project.

The meeting was rich in insights and collaboration. Some highlights:

Progress on WP 3

We reviewed current progress of the WP, which focuses on transferring the values promoted by the project into governance and policy frameworks, including training and dissemination activities. Key presented milestones include the Central Europe Strategy for New European Bauhaus-based Urban Biodiverse Transitions and the upcoming capacity-building workshops planned for next year.

Presentation of the CE Strategy

After months of joint work, we were proud to present this core strategic document. The strategy provides guidance on governance and investment priorities to foster beautiful, sustainable, and inclusive spaces, products, and ways of living with the ultimate goal to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity in urban and peri-urban areas.

Visit to Érd’s ClimatePark

We had the chance to explore one of the project’s pilot sites and meet the stakeholder group involved in the local BIOCENTUM node. Participants shared their motivations and expectations for the NEB-aligned, biodiverse transition planned in a part of the park. The intervention includes the creation of urban gardening spaces, planting of various edible plants, landscaping elements with local and climate-resilient materials.

A big thank you to all partners and local stakeholders for the meaningful discussions and warm hospitality. Looking forward to the next steps!"
