CORDIS explains EU urban sustainability research
A new CORDIS service examines the EU's past and present research efforts in the field of urban sustainability. The new pages on the CORDIS website publicise and explain the key action 'city of tomorrow', which falls under the Energy, environment and sustainable development programme of the European Commission's Fifth Framework programme, and look at key action's four themes: city planning and management, cultural heritage, the built environment and urban transport. The site also introduces the programme's objectives and working methods to potential proposers, including academic researchers, local authorities, technology suppliers and end-user groups.
