The Smart Cities Marketplace will be part of the European Union side event at COP 26 on 09 November, 12:30-13:30 Brussels time!
We will discuss how to turn a city into a smart and net-zero city? with the Urban Living Lab Centre at TU Berlin, DG RTD, Glasgow City Council and the Kompetenzzentrum Wasser.
This session will feature insights from European and international city projects and will discuss aspects that are essential for the decarbonisation of urban areas. There will be a particular focus on using smart digital solutions for urban energy, mobility, and water systems and it will present perspectives from local authorities, the private sector, financing experts and academia.
