YouRban

After Milan and Barcelona, the open learning and experience zone for the circular economy and the recycling of polymers is coming to Vienna for three days. With a mobile recycling plant, a diverse educational program, workshops and hands-on stations, the event is open to the public and free of charge. YouRban is part of the New European Bauhaus Initiative and a contribution by designaustria to the Vienna Climate Biennale 2026.

DESCRIPTION
YouRban is an information container on the reuse of glass fiber reinforced plastics in the EU. The information container is part of the EU-funded international project of the same name under the leadership of the Politecnico di Milano (TU Milan) with Austrian participation from designaustria – Knowledge Center and Interest Group for Design in Austria.
