REPLICATE – REnaissance of PLaces with Innovative Citizenship And TEchnologies- is a European research and development project that aims to deploy integrated energy, mobility and ICT solutions in city districts. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation programme under grant agreement 691735” There are three lead cities (called Smart City ‘Lighthouses’) which include Bristol in Great Britain, Florence in Italy and San Sebastian in Spain. There are also a number of other ‘follower’ cities that will look into replicating interventions in their cities including Essen (Germany), Lausanne (Switzerland) and Nilufer (Turkey). In addition to this, there are also a number of ‘observer’ cities such as Guangzhou (China) and Bogota (Columbia), as well as international networks who will take part in learning and dissemination of results. The project consists of 36 partners. The REPLICATE model takes into account an integrated planning through cooperation between citizens and local authorities and business models in accordance to the urban areas’ challenges that can be applied in other cities. Indeed, more transparency in public administration is needed and a higher consideration of the three aspects of sustainable development is required: economic (reduced energy costs), social (avoiding exclusion, improving health and welfare), and environmental (energy efficiency, sustainable mobility and better integrated Infrastructure).
