#NewUrbanAgenda #InnovatingCities
• The Urban Agenda focuses on the three pillars of EU policy making and implementation:
1. Better regulation; 2. Better funding; 3. Better knowledge.
EU R&I: Cities as actors of Open Innovation
EU R&I Policy on Cities - Instruments Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe – DG RTD http://jpi-urbaneurope.eu/ EU Member State initiative on Systemic Urban Innovation. Sustainable Research and Innovation Agenda: 'Transition towards sustainable and liveable urban futures'
Innovating Cities with Nature and Culture
Societal Challenge 5: Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials
Water and Climate Resilient, Sustainable Cities
Urban Regeneration Systemic urban innovation
connecting digital, physical, natural and social solutions for cities
Large-scale demonstration projects with replication potential
A stronger global actor Open Innovation Open Science Open to the world
EU Funds invested to cities through H2020
'Horizon 2020' has invested EUR 1.5 billion (2014-2017) on
Research & Innovation city related actions: out of which EUR 435 million (2014-2017) devoted to
innovation actions for Smart and Sustainable Cities. *Smart Cities and Communities lighthouse: 330 M EUR(2014-17) + Sustainable cities: 105 M EUR (2014-17).

SCC-02-2017: Nature-based solutions for inclusive urban regeneration (IA)
Actions should: • address nature-based solutions for
inclusive urban regeneration – including regeneration of deprived districts, or neglected or abandoned areas;
• test to what extent nature-based solutions can reduce crime and security costs, and enhance social cohesion.

Call - Greening the economy in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Cities should become circular to : -alter urban consumption patterns and value chains -to stimulate innovation, business opportunities, and job creation New, flexible systemic urban planning instruments
for design and implementation of circular urban processes leading to regenerative urban and peri-urban areas
Demonstrating systemic urban development for circular and regenerative cities
Actions should demonstrate how cities can be transformed into centres of circular innovation and stimulate regenerative practices in both urban and peri-urban areas (including the surrounding industrial areas and commercial ports).
Develop & implement innovative urban planning (e.g. innovative governance and legislation enabling new practices, design approaches, business models, etc.) for transition to circular and regenerative cities (built environment, public space, urban spatial use).
Demonstrating systemic urban development for circular and regenerative cities
Develop and implement innovative local governance structures and networks to enhance circular economy innovation and circular initiatives.
Urban metabolic processes, sharing of best practice on the ground as well as digital solutions comprising networks of sensors, big data
Long-term sustainable data platforms for open, consistent data on the impacts of the deployed approaches, for interoperability of data infrastructures for effective communication, public consultation.
Call-Innovating cities for sustainability and resilience
SC5-13-2018-2019: Strengthening international
cooperation on sustainable urbanisation: nature-based solutions for restoration and rehabilitation of urban ecosystems
SC5-14-2019: Visionary and integrated solutions to improve well-being and health in cities
Strengthening international cooperation on sustainable urbanisation: nature-based solutions for restoration and rehabilitation of urban ecosystems
The challenge is the Unsustainable, non-resilient urbanisation patterns, the expansion or neglect of urban areas that caused the fragmentation, biodiversity loss and the degradation of ecosystems and their services.
Actions (as part of integrated & ecologically urban planning) should design, construct, deploy NBS to restore and prevent further degradation, rehabilitate urban and peri-urban ecosystems and the ecological coherence and integrity of cities.
Visionary and integrated solutions to improve well-being and health in cities
Public spaces need to be designed and managed sustainably to ensure that the way citizens produce, consume, commute and interact within the urban fabric has a positive impact on their health and quality of life, enhances resilience to disasters and climate change and reduces the environmental footprint of the cities (Habitat III New Urban Agenda).
