Welcome to Season 2 of How Could We?, a podcast by EIT Climate-KIC where we explore how to build a beautiful, just and climate-resilient future.

This season, we’re exploring how architecture, design, innovation, science, and art can help build sustainable solutions to the climate emergency. We talk to people across Europe who work on the New European Bauhaus, a creative and interdisciplinary initiative that encourages us to imagine and build together a sustainable and inclusive future.

In this episode, we talk to researchers and architects Blanca Calvo Boixet and Raquel Colacios Parra, based in Barcelona, Spain, about ASD Publics, one of the 14 projects selected as part of the EIT Community New European Bauhaus initiative. The project has created new tools and methods for urban planning professionals to design sustainable and inclusive play areas for and with children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their families.

The ASD Publics: Activating Spaces for Neurodiversity project reimagines and transforms playgrounds in cities to provide design guidelines to increase the potential for inclusive play and nature-based solutions in public spaces and can be implemented in other cities or countries.

This episode was presented by ⁠Anne-Sophie Garrigou⁠ and produced by ⁠Bárbara Mendes-Jorge⁠.
