Reducing soil sealing through sustainable urban and territorial design in the New European Bauhaus
Joint Call between the New European Bauhaus Facility and the Soil Deal for Europe Mission · HORIZON-IA · TRL 6–8 · Needs partners
What this call funds
This call funds projects that design and test urban and rural planning solutions to stop soils from being paved over and to restore already sealed soils, while improving soil health, food systems, climate resilience and biodiversity. Solutions must be demonstrated in real neighbourhoods across different countries and combine creative design with community participation. The goal is to develop scalable, fundable models that cities and regions can adopt to meet EU zero-net-land-take and soil health targets.
