DESIRE will create a movement that sets new standards

and develops methods for transforming urban spaces

Today, we are overwhelmed by challenges from climate change, loss of biodiversity, resource depletion

and overshooting of Earth’s carrying capacity. We need to transform the way we live and build in cities.

With the DESIRE project, we will present an ambitious and innovative way forward where art, design

and architecture play key roles in transforming existing urban spaces and creating new neighbourhoods.

New European Bauhaus

DESIRE is one of six lighthouse demonstrators under the New European Bauhaus (NEB) initiative from

the European Commission. NEB aims to bridge the worlds of art, culture and education with science and

technology. The initiative will create more sustainable, inclusive, and beautiful spaces in locations across

the EU and will involve citizens in the green transition at the local level.

In DESIRE, our 24 partners from six European countries will create a movement that sets new standards

and develops methods for large-scale urban development, renovation and construction.

DESIRE works with three themes and taps into eight existing urban transformation projects and living

labs. Here, we apply design methods in co-creation activities involving local residents and stakeholders.

Voices from different professions will be involved to inspire, challenge, and qualify what we do.

We apply digital engagement tools to collect ideas, images, and impressions.

resource generation and biodiversity social housing.

“In our DESIRE project,

we insist that solutions

within the green

transition in the future

have to be ‘irresistible’.

The changes should be so

attractive that everyone

can see themselves in the

common solutions in the

urban transformation.

Architecture and design

are combined with

aesthetics and citizen

involvement, new

financing methods, new

frameworks and rules,

etc. Which overall leads

to ‘irresistible sustainable

solutions,” says
