Task 4.5 - Improved climate-neutral infrastructure

Transport infrastructure (Ljubljana)

Initially looking at Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)

Already implemented, now focussing on micro-communication between stakeholders using interactive GIS

Beta version is online; also other topics to be included, like flooding: where information is now scattered

Task 4.5 - Improved climate-neutral infrastructure

Waste infrastructure (but where…?)

Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM)

Delayed

Seville is out

New possibilities:

Malaga (administrative issues)

Existing TURAS city?

DELIVERABLE 4.5 (M36)

Chapter per activity Guided by specific questions related to:

Data (type, availability) Tools Future developments Types of strategies Governance and implementation Multi-functionality, co-benefits and conflicts

DELIVERABLE 4.5 (M36)

Governance Evaluate past activity by authority related to topic:

Initial constrains (why wasn’t it done before) Actions taken to overcome initial constrains Successes (what worked, and why did it work?) Non-successes (what didn’t work, and what was main

cause?)
