About three quarters of the population in Europe live in or around urban areas, consuming 70% of the EU energy and emitting about the same share of greenhouse gases and the trend is rising.
That's where cities come in…

Conditions
• Consortia: industry & cities• 2-3 cities involving
2-3 follower cities• Part of ambitious urban plan• Funding from other parts secured• Affordable solutions
