Description du projet
Une avancée cruciale pour la surveillance de la pollution dans les villes
Les zones urbaines sont confrontées à de graves problèmes environnementaux et sanitaires dus aux émissions des transports. La confluence d’une forte densité de population et des gaz d’échappement des véhicules entraîne une pollution atmosphérique et sonore importante. Ces polluants ont des effets néfastes sur les écosystèmes et la santé humaine et représentent une charge économique considérable. Dans ce contexte, le projet Net4Cities, financé par l’UE, permettra de faire progresser l’infrastructure de surveillance de la pollution dans 11 villes européennes, y compris les centres de transport. Grâce à la collaboration des parties prenantes, le projet vise à faciliter la réalisation de la vision «zéro pollution» d’ici 2050. La clé de son approche est l’engagement transdisciplinaire, qui permet d’élaborer des stratégies de réduction des émissions fondées sur des données probantes. Les résultats du projet offrent des données en temps réel via une interface web et des outils d’aide à la décision qui intègrent des technologies telles que la gestion dynamique du trafic et des solutions fondées sur la nature.
Objectif
The transport sector is a major contributor to environmental degradation, including air and noise pollution that have negative effects to ecosystems and human health. This is particularly critical in urban areas, where the confluence of transport emissions and high population density result in adverse health impacts and substantial economic burden. The upcoming changes in the transport sector will be critical to reach targets set by the EU Green Deal. The Zero Pollution Action plans are essential tools to reduce pollution at many different levels. Through co-creation with stakeholders Net4Cities will facilitate the realization of the zero-pollution vision by 2050. The backbone of Net4Cities is this transdisciplinary approach in which the consortium members will engage with the partner cities, including ports and airports, to jointly produce new knowledge, and ensure relevance, uptake, and maximize transferability and exploitation. During the project, air and noise pollution monitoring infrastructure will be advanced and expanded in 11 European cities, including transportation hubs such airports and ports, to conform with upcoming directives and provide data for health impact assessments. The activities are designed to have long-lasting impact through both mid-, and long-term pathways, providing a roadmap for greater uptake in European cities by offering tailored, transferrable, evidence-based support for implementing effective management strategies for reducing transport-related emissions. The main project results will be consolidated in the Net4Cities Studio which will provide (1) a web-based interface with real-time maps and information to raise awareness, and (2) a support tool for policy decisions that will provide guidance for operationalization and recommendations of solutions that consider innovative technologies such as dynamic traffic management systems and inclusion of nature-based solutions in overarching policy designs.
