This initiative seeks to integrate the values of the New European Bauhaus into the European Commission’s 100 Cities Mission
Zaragoza’s path to transitioning into a climate-neutral city must be accompanied by principles of beauty and inclusivity. That is the main takeaway from the news that came in last month that the Spanish city has been selected to join the CrAFt Cities initiative (Creating Actionable Futures).
That project, financed by the European Commission, seeks to integrate the values of the New European Bauhaus – beautiful, sustainable, together – as an inextricable part of the climate-neutrality transformation of European cities. More specifically, Zaragoza was chosen thanks to its Zaragoza Florece flower festival and the initiative to renaturalize the banks of the local Huerva River.
For this purpose, 60 out of the 100 Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities were picked to co-develop additional initiatives and experiments as a way to show that climate transformation can be socially and aesthetically meaningful to urban residents as well.
Zaragoza’s nature-focused projects are examples of present and future transformative actions aligned with the objectives of sustainability, inclusiveness and improvement in the quality of life. All these criteria coincide with the objectives of the New European Bauhaus.
“In this context, the European Commission has financed the CRAFt cities project and has selected Zaragoza not only because it is a city that is committed to climate neutrality, but also because it has two examples of city projects that seek transformation with quality of life of its citizens in mind, highlighting, above all, the aspects of sustainability and a better quality of life,” explained Blanca Soláns, the City’s Director of European Funds, who was responsible for putting forward the application of Zaragoza for the CrAFt Cities club.
The European initiative combines several goals: commitment to climate neutrality, commitment to culture and art as transformative tools for cities and societies, and defence of inclusive policies. This is a project valid until the year 2025.
