Project description
Innovative solutions for smart urban areas
Smart technologies can offer effective solutions to improve city life in urban areas across Europe and Asia. The EU-funded SMARTER TOGETHER project aims to connect various cities and partners to explore innovative solutions for sustainable and inclusive living in urban districts. The project involves the European Lighthouse cities Lyon, Munich, and Vienna, the Follower cities Santiago de Compostela, Sofia, Venice, as well as Kyiv and Yokohama as observer cities. It also includes business partners from the energy, mobility, and ICT sectors, along with research institutions, academia, and the European city network. The goal is to create five clusters of co-created and integrated solutions, which include living labs for citizen engagement, district heating and renewable energy sources for low-energy districts, and e-mobility solutions.

Expected results are: 1) >151,800 m2 of refurbished buildings, primarily housing estate with a 50-60 % average energy and CO2 reduction; 2) 14.6 MW of newly installed renewable capacity; 3) 10/15new e-mobility solutions for passengers and freight); 4) 1400 created jobs, 130 M€ investments, all deployed with support of integrated ICT solutions and in dialogue with the inhabitants.
Large-scale replication will be prepared; 1) in the Lighthouse cities; 2) the Follower cities, which already selected their target area; 3) A Club of 15-20 cities, associate to intensify its roll-out, ensuring a broad geographical and climate coverage. Commercial exploitation is enhanced by the development of new business models for widespread use by the stakeholders.
