Innovative, AI-based solutions for urban planning and management
Funds AI-based Digital Twin models for urban planning, developed jointly by at least three cities in different EU countries.
This is an Innovation Action, evaluated in a single stage and paid as a lump sum, with four grants of EUR 6 million each expected from this topic's EUR 24 million. Each winning consortium must include at least three cities from three different EU Member States or Associated Countries as beneficiaries, at least one an EU Mission city, and must formalise collaboration with the Cities Mission Platfor…
The funder wants Digital Twin models using AI, including generative AI, that support climate-neutral urban planning decisions by incorporating real urban data such as zoning, mobility, energy use and weather. It wants the models tested and calibrated in each participating city, with the tools made available for other cities to replicate.
