PART 3: HORIZON EUROPE - A MISSION TO DELIVER THE CITIES OF THE FUTURE
Already the single fact that roughly 75% of the EU’s population live in cities is reason enough to think about a specific, effective and efficient policy framework for cities in support of the most pressing European challenges. To this end, we need to eventually focus on turning research and innovations into results on the ground, putting an emphasis on deployment, replication, scaling-up and thus a dramatically accelerated market uptake of solutions to meet the grand challenges of today, especially and most effectively in the urban context.
