Network of neighbourhoods for innovative policies on gentrification

The main goal of this opportunity is to tackle the challenges of gentrification by supporting innovative policies and strategies that reduce its negative effects and amplify its positive impacts. It aims to help local policymakers better anticipate and manage gentrification, while empowering residents to participate in decision-making. The opportunity encourages the creation of sustainable, inclusive, and attractive neighbourhoods, in line with the values of the New European Bauhaus. Focus areas include understanding what causes gentrification, its impact on different social groups and cultural heritage, and developing or updating local policies to promote social equity, environmental sustainability, and community engagement. The scope covers urban, peri-urban, and rural areas across various European and associated countries.
