STARDUST

The STARDUST project aims at transforming carbon supplied cities into smart, highly efficient and citizen oriented cities by developing an integrated approach that will be replicated across the EU. It combines a set of technical green solutions in the energy, mobility and ICT sectors and a series of non-technical solutions grounded on active stakeholder participation including citizen engagement and innovative business models.

These actions will be first implemented in all three Lighthouse cities (Pamplona-Spain, Tampere-Finland and Trento-Italy). The plan will then be replicated and tailored accordingly among the four Follower cities (Cluj-Napoca-Romania, Derry-UK, Kozani-Greece, Litoměřice-Czech Republic). The main output of this project are blueprints that serve as a basis for creating replicable solutions that push for a holistic urban transformation in other urbanised areas.

Expected impacts by 2021 include:

1. Reducing the greenhouse gas emissions by 63%

2. Increase energy savings by 58%

3. Increasing the citizen's quality of life

4. Ensuring economically viable and prosperous business environment in cities by boosting the bankablity of these cities
