European Union's Horizon 2020 funded a smart city project named +CityxChange. This project focused on making cities better (think "smart"). The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) lead the project along with two cities: Trondheim in Norway and Limerick in Ireland. This large-scale project took place between November 2018 and October 2023. The +CityxChange project may be complete, but its impact on cities such as Trondheim, Limerick, Alba Iulia, Písek, Võru, Smolyan and Sestao will continue to be felt for years to come.

Happy World Cities Day!🌇🌍 Today, as we celebrate the pivotal role cities play in shaping our world, it's vital to reflect on how we can make them even better🌃. Cities are hubs of innovation, culture, and opportunity, but they also bear a significant responsibility when it comes to #EnvironmentalImpact. According to UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme), cities consume 78 % of the world's energy and are responsible for over 60 % of greenhouse gas emissions. It is therefore time to spearhead the #EnergyTransition and build #smarter, more #sustainable, and #inclusive cities for our present and future generations. Smart cities will play a significant role in achieving #NetZero objectives by implementing and scaling up state-of-the-art solutions and technologies. ASCEND’s mission is clear - we aim to create Positive Clean Energy Districts and turn them into a default solution in European cities to mitigate the effects of #ClimateChange and enable citizens to live in inclusive, resilient, and smart communities. #WorldCitiesDay #UrbanSustainability #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #ASCEND #RenewableEnergy #SustainableCities #PositiveChange Stadtwerke München GmbH MGS - Muenchner Gesellschaft fuer Stadterneuerung mbH GWG Städtische Wohnungsgesellschaft München mbH Bernhard KLASSEN Julia Koenig Dr. Stefan Synek LYON CONFLUENCE Ville de Lyon Baptiste Mougeot Etienne Vignali AdEPorto - Agência de Energia do Porto Porto Digital Águas do Porto, EM Inês Reis Carolina Gonçalves IGRETEC Alice Brogniaux Benjamin Neirynck OICT Pražská developerská společnost Denisa Pevná Michal Kuzmic Stockholms stad Lisa Enarsson Christina Salmhofer BKK - Budapesti Közlekedési Központ Kinga Lőcsei-Tóth Viktória Hideg Tudor Drambarean Energy Cities AIT Austrian Institute of Technology DKSR - Data Competence Center for Cities & Regions CARTIF University of St.Gallen R2M Solution Ginger Lou Billows
