Dear Smart Cities Marketplace Community,
|
|
Welcome to the Smart Cities Marketplace newsletter! The Smart Cities Marketplace aims to give many climate-neutral and smart city initiatives a voice and a platform. In that spirit, we have agreed to offer like-minded EC initiatives the opportunity to contribute directly to our newsletter by drafting a guest editorial. The first contribution is from the Scalable Cities secretariat.
Join Scalable Cities!
Cities are the main engines of economic growth, driving scientific and technological innovation, social mobility and climate-related issues. The adoption of smart solutions by all cities is paramount in our efforts to combat and mitigate climate change and address other key industrial or societal challenges. To help implement and replicate such actions and with the aim to create large-scale, long-term support for cities, the European Commission and CINEA are backing the creation of a long-lasting network of cities and their experts who participate in Smart Cities and Communities projects, Scalable Cities.
Scalable Cities is a city-led network of 120 cities that participate in 18 Smart Cities and Communities projects funded by Horizon 2020. Working in consortia with academia, industry, associations and experts, they implement more than 550 demonstrations of technological and social innovations in the areas of mobility and logistics, buildings, urban data and ICT infrastructure, citizen engagement as well as urban governance, achieving: more than 53% energy savings, up to 88% CO2 reduction, over 17 500 installed smart meters, over 1 million m2 floor space refurbished, more than 5270 e-vehicles introduced, nearly 500 e-charging stations installed, more than 260 000 citizens engaged.
Building on these achievements and supported by a strong governance structure, Scalable Cities are there to identify and promote impactful solutions and business models that can be scaled up and replicated across Europe and lead to measurable outcomes such as new jobs and energy savings. By enlarging the community of cities and fostering cross-collaboration between stakeholders across Europe, Scalable Cities will deliver tangible evidence on how smart actions can pave the way to achieve climate-neutral cities.
