Enhancing Liveable Cities with Smart Public Space Management and Sustainable Mobility for climate neutrality in urban areas: the URBAN-FLOW Approach

Objective

URBAN-FLOW is a groundbreaking initiative designed to reshape urban spaces into sustainable, climate-neutral, and resilient environments. The project addresses key urban challenges such as limited public space, inefficient mobility and land use planning, suburban connectivity gaps, fragmented energy and mobility systems, and the need for inclusive, liveable urban areas. By integrating Local Digital Twins (LDTs) and Mobility Data Spaces (MDS), URBAN-FLOW enhances data-driven decision-making, enabling dynamic space management and participatory urban regeneration towards climate-neutral mobility, integrated energy, and resilient design.

The project is demonstrated in three Lead Cities: Valencia (Spain), Florence (Italy), and Tampere (Finland), where innovative urban solutions will be tested. These solutions include dynamic curb-side management, multimodal transport optimization, and green infrastructure integration. The project also involves three Replicant Cities: Edinburgh (United Kingdom), Brussels (Belgium), and Pilsen (Czech Republic), ensuring the scalability and adaptability of the proposed measures across diverse urban contexts.

URBAN-FLOW employs a systemic co-creation approach through City Living Labs (CLLs), engaging policymakers, citizens, and businesses in collaborative urban transformation. The project aligns with the European Green Deal and the Mission 100 Climate-Neutral Cities, driving policy-driven replication across European cities. By combining advanced digital tools, participatory governance, and climate resilience strategies, URBAN-FLOW seeks to create urban environments that enhance accessibility, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and improve the overall quality of life for residents.
To maximise its footprint and its results uptake, the project leverages several city and climate related EU networks: ClimateKIC, EIT Urban Mobility, Open and Agile Smart Cities, Urban Technologies Alliance.
