In order to use an evidence-based approach to develop a 2050 roadmap to support the transition of cities to a more sustainable or post-carbon future, 10 European case studies were selected: Barcelona, Copenhagen, Malmö, Istanbul, Lisbon, Litoměřice, Milan-Turin, Rostock and Zagreb. An important...Read more
This article intends to analyse this transition process towards a post-carbon model in 10 European cities (Barcelona, Copenhagen, Malmö, Istanbul, Lisbon, Litoměřice, Milan, Turin, Rostock and Zagreb) based on a set of environmental, economic and social Key Performance Indicators (KPI). This...Read more
POCACITO intends to construct visions for post-carbon futures of European case study cities through a participative process. Supporting this aim, the following document provides an outline of existing scenario exercises, which serve as references for the POCACITO background scenario and provides...Read more
The present deliverable collects the experiences reported by the project partners from the first two case study workshops, which aimed at designing a vision for the city and defining, in a back casting exercise, the strategy for reaching this vision in the specific context of the city by...Read more
The present deliverable proposes an analysis of the experiences reported by the POCACITO project partners from the first and second case study workshops.
