Sustainability of cities is currently a key challenge in Europe. Nowadays, around 70% of Europeans live in cities and this number is expected to increase. Urban areas are therefore the important test-bed for energy transition and decarbonisation models. Decarbonisation measures concern a wide variety of topics, therefore their planning requires a systemic interdisciplinary approach that is currently not widespread in HE, but is nonetheless necessary to let new professional profiles emerge, that are able to coordinate different stakeholders, data and sources of information.

CITY MINDED intends to develop and test an innovative, creative, European-scaled learning environment called ‘city decarbonisation itinerant workshop’, where students, specialists and stakeholders can come together to address common onsite challenges and define collaborative urban decarbonisation roadmaps through a ‘learning-by-doing’ method.
