City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage

Examples of projects and a cluster Examples of projects and a cluster where negotiation is complete and where negotiation is complete and project not yet started. project not yet started.


City of Tomorrow and Cultural HeritageProject example 4.1.

Indicators system to assess new urban services; Improving decision making through evaluation

Development of evaluation methodology of public urban facilities and services (buildings, cultural, educational, care and sports facilities) to determine impact on performance indicators such as functionality, end user satisfaction, cost, environmental impact. The aim is to develop models and tools to optimise sustainability. The involvement of the public and private sectors helps ensure the relevance of the work and its widest exploitation.



Variable rate pricing based on pay-as-you-throw as a tool for Urban Waste Management

This project addresses growing concern over citizens’ ability/willingness to pay for urban utilities and particularly for urban waste. It will provide decision-making support through comprehensive assessment of the economic and environmental impacts and efficiency of different approaches to funding for the “urban waste utility” to encourage a waste reduction culture.



Sustainable development of cultural heritage through an active integration within towns

The aim is to establish an Environmental Impact Assessment methodology (in line with the EU environmental Impact Directive) to ensure compatibility with the conservation requirements of cultural heritage and urban development. It will enable local authorities to assess their plans for urban development with regard to the sustainable exploitation of urban and architectural cultural heritage.



Sustainable Refurbishment Europe

The aim is to provide housing companies and local decision makers with practical management tools for the sustainable refurbishment of flats built after 1950. Socio-economic and environmental considerations are integrated. Tenant involvement helps ensure the refurbishment management process falls within the range of normal and affordable costs. Includes testing and implementing of flexible new concepts for sustainable transformation of existing housing areas.



Network Oriented Risk-Assessment by In-Situ Screening of Contaminated Sites

The aim is to provide a standard guideline for efficient risk assessment of contamination profiles in urban areas. This is a valuable tool for city planners, land owners and investors. This guideline will enhance site characterisation and risk assessment and minimise time and cost for investigation, redevelopment and remediation.


City of Tomorrow and Cultural HeritageProject examples 4.4

Ecological City Transport System

The aim is to assess the diverse impacts of running three fuel-cell buses. The innovation lies in the comparative assessment of the fuel-cell technology (associated to a hydrogen infrastructure) with other clean alternatives. This will help to measure the potential of fuel-cell buses to improve urban sustainability.


City of Tomorrow and Cultural HeritageCluster example 4.4.

Land Use and Transport Research Cluster

To establish new tools and instruments for city authorities to implement new urban planning policies for more sustainable transport systems - less polluting and less congested. For example, to reduce mobility demand at source. A main emphasis will be to reduce individual motorised movements in line with the Green paper on Urban Transport.

Why?Why?



Overall goal :

sustainable economic development and competitiveness,

improved urban management and integrated planning policy,

safeguard and improve the quality of life and cultural identity of citizens



Focus : Provision of an integrated socio-economic knowledge-base, and products, services, tools and technologies for better city management and on the environmental challenges, particularly in relation to reducing pollutant emissions


Approach Socio-economic, environmental and technological

including the development, integration, and demonstration of technologies, tools and methodologies to improve forecasting, monitoring, assessment and benchmarking of emerging best practice

Emphasis on increasing citizen and stakeholder participation in urban decision making and helping ensure the availability of reliable, efficient and affordable services for all urban citizens, including those with special needs

foresight analysis, & access to research facilities contributing to focus and concentration


Messages for potential proposers based on Messages for potential proposers based on experience of the first and second evaluationexperience of the first and second evaluation

Present the objectives and the potential results in the context of the work programme. Explain why the proposed approach is the best way of meeting the objectives. Describe the methodology showing how the results would be obtained. Justify claims for socio-economic impacts.

All levels (researchers, end users, public authorities etc.) of stakeholders should be involved in the research.

The state of the art must be described (a description is of much more value than a list of references!).

The approach to be followed must be sufficient to convince the evaluators of its credibility

Ask somebody not involved to critically evaluate the draft proposal.
