During its first 18 months, GINNGER advanced significantly to integrate place-based, data-driven, and socially inclusive innovation for sustainable urban regeneration. A comprehensive diagnosis of pilot neighbourhoods was conducted, including stakeholder ecosystem mapping and analysis of technical, social, and regulatory contexts. Using PESTLE and qualitative methods, the consortium identified key drivers and barriers, developed a baseline of citizens’ capacities, and informed the co-creation and digital solution design processes.
A robust co-creation methodology was developed based on collaborative interviews and a literature review on social inclusion and behavioral change. This methodology was tailored to pilot contexts through participatory tools and engagement strategies, addressing issues of vulnerability and inclusion. It was complemented by a catalogue of 56 regeneration actions and a dedicated decision-making guide, laying the groundwork for structured and inclusive implementation.
Technologically, 13 digital solutions across four thematic blocks—Energy, Renovation, Resources, and Mobility—have reached advanced stages of development. These tools are being tested with real pilot data and include forecasting, energy management, renovation decision support, circular economy tracing, and mobility optimization systems. The Common Information Model was established and dynamically updated to ensure interoperability and data integration.
A multi-level key performance indicators (KPI) framework was also developed, enabling the structured validation of impacts across environmental, social, and economic dimensions. The groundwork for deployment and assessment, including a digital tool for KPI tracking, was laid to ensure consistent, measurable implementation across pilots.
