Description
This Horizon Europe Innovation Action topic, funded by the European Commission under the New European Bauhaus (NEB) Facility, addresses the environmental, ecological, economic, social and health harms of existing, active railway lines and motorways. Its goal is to make surrounding neighbourhoods more liveable, inclusive, safe, attractive and biodiverse, reflecting NEB values of sustainability, inclusion and beauty.
The topic calls for teams to develop and demonstrate packages of measures across urban, peri-urban and rural neighbourhoods. Projects are expected to assess changes in impacts, resolve implementation barriers, and provide guidance and documented best practices for wider adoption. Participatory, transdisciplinary co-creation and effective social sciences and humanities contributions are central to the approach. However, the work programme designates this topic “CANCELLED” and lists zero expected awards, while the portal retains a forthcoming listing.
