South of 🇫🇷 Paris, in the suburban town of Bagneux, a local bottom-up project came to life to reclaim unused public space and revitalise the urban environment through citizen’s initiatives.     R-Urban, launched in 2020, promotes the regeneration of urban land in deprived neighbourhoods, based on eco-designed hubs, built mostly from locally sourced and ♻️ recycled material. In these “reversible” hubs, which can be easily dismantled and relocated for use in different locations, locals can find cultivations plots, training programmes and cooking sessions using 🥬 vegetables grown onsite.     🥇 Winner of the #NewEuropeanBauhaus Prizes in 2022, R-Urban aims to foster the collaboration of citizens, their sense of solidarity, creating social and ecological value while contributing to the wider green transition of the region. Projects like this can act as prototypes for new ways of transforming and managing a neighbourhood. That is why R-Urban can show us the way towards rebuilding Ukraine.    🇺🇦 Ukraine has all it takes for a successful reconstruction: determination, a vibrant civil society, and an impressively resilient economic base despite this atrocious war. We at the 🇪🇺 are helping place environmental and social sustainability at the heart of Ukraine’s future.     📆 On 28 November, we meet Ukrainian organisations and stakeholders in Vilnius. During the course of a four-day Conference on Ukraine’s Green Recovery, we will discuss tangible ways to rebuild Ukrainian cities in a 🌱 sustainable, inclusive way, aligned with the values of the New European Bauhaus.    Register today to join the online sessions 👉 link in bio    #EUGreenDeal #StandWithUkraine #Sustainability #LIFEProgramme #SustainableArchitecture #CircularEconomy #UrbanDesign        📷 © R-Urban, 2023.
