Turning cIties Planning actionS for Positive Energy Districts into success

Project description

Innovations in sustainable city planning

Rising urbanisation and the relentless strain on resources pose a dual challenge for cities worldwide: achieving environmental sustainability while managing operational costs. As metropolises grapple with mounting pressure to reduce carbon footprints, traditional city planning struggles to keep pace. In response, the EU-funded TIPS4PED project aims to revolutionise city planning through a digital twin-based platform, offering municipalities a dynamic, evidence-based toolkit to navigate the landscape of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). With a people-centric approach, TIPS4PED engages citizens and stakeholders, drawing on consortium knowledge and EU experience. In Turin, a Lighthouse city, real-time asset management will be tested, followed by replication in Cork, Kozani, and Budapest. TIPS4PED aims to pave the way for scalable, reproducible technologies, aligning with the 2030 EU goals.

Objective

TIPS4PED will design, develop, and test in a relevant environment the effectiveness and the techno-economic viability of a Digital Twin based Platform, to support municipalities in the implementation of Positive Energy Districts. The TIPS4PED Platform will be able to support municipalities in the decision-making delivering a series of evidence-based results, increasing the environmental sustainability of cities, and reducing operational costs. The project will adopt a people-centric approach, which aims at engage, train and empower citizens and potential stakeholders. TIPS4PED will do this by leveraging on consortium knowledge and prior EU experience and being motivated by the goals set forth by the European Commission. To design and manage the PED effectively and foster its implementation through city planning actions, different modules will be made available on the Integrated Assessment Platform, to support municipalities from the technical perspective, as well as the social, financial, regulatory and administrative ones. The tools will be developed thanks to a end-users co-design approach, capable of providing constant feedback to the software development process. The TIPS4PED solutions will be tested in one LightHouse city (Turin), where the IAP will be connected to a sensoring system for the realtime management of the assets, and replication studies will be conducted in three Follower Cities (Cork, Kozani and Budapest). The testing and replication phase willl result in the creation of 4 cities Digital Twins and decarbonization roadmaps. TIPS4PED seeks to suggest scalable and easily reproducible technologies and digital optimization as a key solution for to achieve 2030 EU goals, while taking into consideration various market circumstances, and environmental, safety, and regulatory aspects.
