The City of Espoo (Finland) has decided to transform Kera, a formerly industrial/logistic area into a sustainable city district, in line with circular economy principles. Public procurement plays a key role here...

To foster a more inclusive type of buildings and renovations, the city, in collaboration with the DESIRE project, has used New European Bauhaus (NEB) principles to involve the community and to prepare for the renovation of the residential building Ziepju 11. A Circular Economy Centre was also built.

Public buyers participating in the latest meeting of the Community of Practice (CoP) on New European Bauhaus (NEB), organised within the context of the Big Buyers Working Together (BBWT) project, were introduced to the New European Bauhaus Compass and the NEB Toolbox. 

On 24 April, the Big Buyers Working Together project held its first in-person annual event in Brussels. During the event the project kicked off its Community of Practice on New European Bauhaus (NEB), the first European initiative to connect sustainable public procurement to the NEB principles.

The Big Buyers Working Together (BBWT) project organised a webinar that explored how public procurement can help advance the New European Bauhaus (NEB) principles.
