INTER-PRO-UMCS

Programme description

The call consists of three main topics, each tackling specific aspects of urban transformation capacities:

• Call topic 1: Urban circular economies
  This implies functional urban design in support of circular systems, the use of nature-based solutions – that is actions for societal challenges that are inspired by processes and functioning of nature – for resource circularity and business models supporting circularity in resource use and waste management and for  materials needed for smart city development.
• Call topic 2: Community-based developments and urban innovation ecosystems
  This implies innovative neighbourhoods which enable social innovation and local entrepreneurs, inhabitant engagement and co-creation to support liveable, inclusive and attractive neighbourhoods.
• Call topic 3: Robust and resilient urban infrastructure and built environment
  This implies an urban infrastructure and a built environment which can resist natural, environmental, social, economic and technological threats on smaller and larger scales based on efficient use of resources. It also implies a fair access to urban infrastructure and the built environment.
