City of Tomorrow and Cultural
Heritage
1st and 2nd Calls
Examples of projects and a cluster
where work has started or where
negotiation is complete and project
not yet started.
Copenhagen - 17 May 2001
16May 2001 - 2
City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage
Project example 4.1.
IANUS (Indicators system to assess new urban services;
Improving decision making through evaluation)
Coordinator : Diputacio de Barcelona
Consortium : Public authorities, private companies, universities,
professional and city associations.
Development of evaluation methodology of public urban facilities and
services (buildings, cultural, educational, care and sports facilities) to
determine impact on performance indicators such as functionality, end
user satisfaction, cost, environmental impact. The aim is to develop
models and tools to optimise sustainability. The involvement of the
public and private sectors helps ensure the relevance of the work and
its widest exploitation.

City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage
Project example 4.1.
PAYT (Variable rate pricing based on pay-as-you-throw as a
tool for Urban Waste Management)
Coordinator : TU Dresden
Consortium : Universities, waste management companies, JRC, Institute.
This project addresses growing concern over citizens’ ability/willingness
to pay for urban utilities and particularly for urban waste. It will provide
decision-making support through comprehensive assessment of the
economic and environmental impacts and efficiency of different
approaches to funding for the “urban waste utility” to encourage a waste
reduction culture.

16May 2001 - 4
City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage
Project example 4.2.
SUIT (Sustainable development of cultural heritage
through an active integration within towns)
Coordinator : Université de Liège
Consortium : Universities, regional government.
The aim is to establish an Environmental Impact Assessment
methodology (in line with the EU environmental Impact Directive) to
ensure compatibility with the conservation requirements of cultural
heritage and urban development. It will enable local authorities to
assess their plans for urban development with regard to the
sustainable exploitation of urban and architectural cultural heritage.

City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage
Project example 4.3.
SUREURO (Sustainable Refurbishment Europe)
Coordinator : Kalmarhem Ltd.
Consortium : 7 housing companies, construction company,
consultancies, research organisations.
The aim is to provide housing companies and local decision makers
with practical management tools for the sustainable refurbishment of
the 56 million flats built after 1950. Socio-economic and environmental
considerations are integrated. Tenant involvement helps ensure the
refurbishment management process falls within the range of normal
and affordable costs. Includes testing and implementing of flexible
new concepts for sustainable transformation of existing housing areas
noting that the housing companies in the consortium together own
200,000 dwellings.

City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage
Project example 4.3.
NORISC ( Network Oriented Risk-Assessment by In-Situ
Screening of Contaminated Sites )
Coordinator : City of Cologne
Consortium : 2 urban authorities, 1 local authority, Geological survey
administration, 2 environmental consultants, 2 research organisations,
3 universities
The aim is to provide a standard guideline for efficient risk assessment
of contamination profiles in urban areas. This is a valuable tool for city
planners, land owners and investors. This guideline will enhance site
characterisation and risk assessment and minimise time and cost for
investigation, redevelopment and remediation.

City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage
Project examples 4.4
ECTOS (Ecological City Transport System)
Coordinator : Icelandic New Energy Ltd.
Consortium : energy companies, universities, energy consulting
company, car company, transport utility, transport research
organisation.
The aim is to assess the diverse impacts of running three fuel-cell
buses in Reykjavik. The innovation lies in the comparative
assessment of the fuel-cell technology (associated to a hydrogen
infrastructure) with other clean alternatives. This will help to measure
the potential of fuel-cell buses to improve urban sustainability.
Copenhagen - 17 May 2001
16May 2001 - 8
City of Tomorrow and Cultural Heritage
Cluster example 4.4.
LUTR (Land Use and Transport Research Cluster)
Five projects together are seeking to establish new tools and
instruments for city authorities to implement new urban planning
policies for more sustainable transport systems - less polluting and
less congested. For example, to reduce mobility demand at source.
A main emphasis will be to reduce individual motorised movements
in line with the Green paper on Urban Transport now in preparation.

Messages for potential proposers based on
experience of the first and second evaluation





Present the objectives and the potential results in the context of the work
programme. Explain why the proposed approach is the best way of meeting
the objectives. Describe the methodology showing how the results would be
obtained. Justify claims for socio-economic impacts.
All levels (researchers, end users, public authorities etc.) of stakeholders
should be involved in the research.
The state of the art must be described (a description is of much more value
than a list of references!).
The approach to be followed must be sufficient to convince the evaluators of
its credibility
Ask somebody not involved to critically evaluate the draft proposal.
