We are thrilled to announce the official launch of the @blueprint_eu project!
Running from October 2025 to March 2029, this ambitious initiative co-funded by the European Commission (Horizon Europe / Built4People) is set to transform the way we envision our cities.
The consortium officially kicked off its first GA at the Conference & Cultural Center of the #UniversityofPatras.
A great start to building living #UrbanEcosystems through #ParticipatoryRenovation and #DigitalSolutions!

Subways don't just bring people together. They're also a hub of microbial activity, including fungi. Over the course of a year, an international team of researchers collected air samples from 15 stations in the Beijing subway network, one of the largest in the world, and cataloged the fungal species they found.
We can all make a difference by reimagining how we build and live! Integrating nature into urban environments creates healthier communities. One Community's designs show how green architecture transforms cities into living ecosystems.
