URBAN-EU-CHINA Details

URBAN-EU-CHINA Innovation Platform on Sustainable Urbanisation (UEC) is an evidence driven network platform for European and Chinese stakeholders with common interests within sustainable urbanisation developments.In the UEC, 12 experienced European and Chinese consortium partners from across the sustainable urbanisation value chain join forces to support the European Commission in its aim to make EU-China sustainable urbanisation cooperation more accessible, attractive, and rewarding for a broader set of stakeholders. To accomplish this we organise a coordinated series of actions including: a strategic R&I agenda, scoping and assessment, networking events, peer-to-peer exchanges, bench-marking and monitoring, and joint demonstration projects.The key expected impact of URBAN-EU-CHINA is to develop a robust, evidence-driven bottom-up approach to complement the existing top-down EU-China strategic approach to sustainable urbanisation. This will be accomplished via a coordinated series of actions including: a strategic R&I agenda, scoping and assessment, networking events, peer-to-peer exchanges, bench-marking and monitoring, and joint demonstration projects. By creating tighter coupling between city-level, national, and supra-national programmes, planning, policies, and projects, URBAN-EU-CHINA will yield a significant increase in cooperative EU-CHINA R&I activities.URBAN-EU-CHINA CITY-2-CITY PARTNERSHIPS is an initiative to support and strengthen collaboration between European and Chinese cities who are working on, or who would like to work on, sustainable urbanisation projects together with innovative stakeholders from both private and public sectors. Building trust, knowledge exchange and analysis of success stories are fundamental basis for a successful outcome.
