Project Consortium
The Invisible Buildings project addresses the challenge of vacant and underused buildings across European cities and their untapped potential to contribute to solutions for housing shortages and the energy transition.
The project aims to develop methodologies, data tools, and policy recommendations that enable cities to identify, activate, and renovate vacant buildings for affordable housing and energy-efficient use.
Through collaboration between municipalities, research institutions, energy agencies, and European city networks, the project will pilot innovative approaches for mapping vacant buildings, engaging stakeholders, and developing local policy frameworks to support their reuse.
Pilot cities will conduct vacancy mapping, organise participatory policy labs, and develop local action plans to support the transformation of unused buildings into sustainable housing solutions.
