On 16 December 2025, the European Commission presented its plans for the future of the New European Bauhaus.
Adopted as part of the European Affordable Housing Plan, the Communication “New European Bauhaus: From vision to implementation” and its accompanying proposal for a Council Recommendation set out the key actions to scale up the initiative and strengthen its role as a driver of the clean transition and innovation in Europe and beyond.
On 11 May 2026, the Council adopted the Recommendation on the New European Bauhaus, marking an important step in scaling up the initiative across Europe. The Recommendation encourages Member States to integrate the NEB values and principles into policies and funding instruments linked to the built environment, neighbourhood transformation and sustainable development.
