New book: Open Heritage. Community-Driven Adaptive Reuse in Europe: Best Practice
How can communities drive the adaptive reuse of heritage spaces?
This year, in 2025, we celebrate a decade of working for more just, inclusive and resilient cities. What started as a small initiative has grown into a team based in Rome, Vienna and Budapest, collaborating with hundreds of municipalities, universities, NGOs and community organisations across Europe.
Over these ten years we have worked on food systems, civic spaces, circular economy, participatory democracy, public space, cultural heritage, energy transition, social cohesion, responsible tourism and affordable housing—starting projects, producing books, tools, studies, videos and platforms that support fair urban transformation.
Explore our year-by-year journey, with the topics we worked on, the outputs we created, and how our mission has evolved. We are proud of what we’ve built together—and excited for what comes next.
