Dear readers, 2020 is certainly a year that will be imprinted in our collective memory. In March, the planned mySMARTLife project meeting in our Lighthouse City Hamburg had to be cancelled to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It was only an inkling of the far-reaching changes that were yet to come. In recent months, most of our lives, which are affected by the daily encounter between people on a large scale, have been shifted inwards. In Spain, the state of alarm, which has been in effect since mid-March and included strict restrictions on going out, was valid until 21 June. Slowly, we are moving back towards normality, even if the deep cuts of this pandemic will keep us busy for a long time. This virus has not only affected us on a personal level but has also shaped our work as an international consortium. Despite being separated, our sense of solidarity and feeling of togetherness could not be torn apart but was moreover strengthened. |
This is not only noticeable in our online meetings but also in our joined social media campaigns which were carried out together with our SCC01 partners. One thing is for sure: Smart Cities are resilient and creative cities! Some city reactions towards the posed challenges will also be addressed in this newsletter. Guided by this spirit, the EU continues to stress the importance of its Green Deal. To reduce climate protection in order to revive the economy faster would be a big mistake, declares Frans Timmermans, Vice President of the EU Commission. We can only agree. Therefore, let our long-term responses to the crisis be as creative and sustainable as the short-term ones. Take care and enjoy reading! Rubén García Pajares |

REMOURBAN finishes with Best Practices e-book Project coordinator Miguel Á. García Fuentes (CARTIF) states: “Our project’s legacy is a proven and replicable model for use in towns and cities across Europe. We’re proud of this Urban Regeneration Model and its ability to improve people’s lives in urban areas. With REMOURBAN, we’ve transformed the ecosystems in the three lighthouse cities while enabling other cities to embark on their own smart and sustainable transformations. Our ultimate goal is already becoming reality.” You can download the final brochure here. |
