The future of the earth, its ecosystems, and our own civilization will be decided in and by our cities. Only if we ensure that the material, means, and methods with which we build and manage our cities are primarily drawn from regionally available and sustainably managed biological resources can we transform our urban settlements from culprits of climate change to catalysts of eco-systemic healing. The vision for a regenerative built environment has been described in the Toward Re-Entanglement: A Charter for the City and the Earth, presented in Rome in June 2022. Now is the time to put this vision into reality. The Barcelona Protocol calls on European cities to take a lead.
On October 4, 2022, we presented the Barcelona Protocol, a joint initiative of Bauhaus Earth, Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC), European Forest Institute (EFI), and Barcelona City Council.
The full Barcelona Protocol is available online.
