The DECORATOR project aims to catalyze the circular transformation of the built environment in the Danube Region (DR) by conceiving the region as a real-life laboratory for exploring transformative practices promoted by the project. It focuses on circularity as a holistic challenge, encompassing ecological, technical, socio-cultural, and economic aspects. The project aligns with the New European Bauhaus initiative by pursuing circularity and the transition to a sustainable future as an aesthetic rather than solely a technological project. In approaching advanced technologies, it understands them as enablers to achieve sectoral transformation.

Development of policies, strategies, and guidelines to promote circularity in the built environment in the Danube Region.
