Online courses to support cities in defining their own way towards integrated and sustainable urban development
What is Sustainable MED Cities project?
The sustainable MED Cities project promotes a new integrated approach, offering longer-term sustainable solutions to spatial planning and management in Mediterranean cities. To support public authorities in driving the urban regeneration of Mediterranean cities the Sustainable MED Cities (SMC) project developed and tested an integrated and multi-scale open-source system consisting of three sets of indicators (at building, neighborhood and city scale), an online assessment platform, a collaborative platform, a decision-making methodology.
