European cities are currently facing a dual challenge: a severe housing shortage and the urgent need to reduce the high carbon footprint of new construction. The solution? Prioritizing the renovation, adaptation, and repurposing of our existing, under-used building stock.
We are excited to invite you to an upcoming webinar—an official satellite event of the Festival of the New European Bauhaus—dedicated to exploring practical initiatives and investment strategies for a more sustainable and socially responsive use of Europe’s buildings.
Why You Should Attend Join us to learn how to turn vacant spaces into affordable, low-impact housing. You will discover:
- Actionable Insights: Recent research and practical experiences in low-environmental-impact housing, including successful case studies from Nordic countries.
- Investment Strategies: How to improve investment readiness and mobilize critical financing for projects focused on building reuse.
- Practical Advice: Direct guidance from our expert speakers on applying the EU’s Level(s) framework.
Who is this for? This event is tailored for professionals involved in designing, planning, financing, and delivering building projects, as well as policymakers, city representatives, and public authorities focused on urban development.
