PES 2020 - Project Establishment Support : H2020 PRO-CITY project:

Name of the project: PRO-CITY - Provisioning future public spaces, well-being and health in cities PRO-CITY will develop, test and implement six innovative case studies for public spaces across Europe. It will bring together academics from social and natural sciences, citizens and practitioners from the public and private sector while using innovative methodologies, visionary and integrated solutions-based living labs for citizen’s participation, Artificial Intelligence (AI) for data analysis, and a city academy for knowledge co-creation. The results are visionary and integrated solutions (VIS) for public spaces in cities, for which health and well-being impacts are thoroughly backed by data, facilitating easier uptake, replication and up-scaling by both the public sector but also by citizen initiatives. The VIS and the supporting tools will be co-designed with municipalities and citizens to ensure their local efficiency and at the same time, their adaptability to new contexts. A strong networking, communication and exploitation strategy will ensure the VIS and its supporting tools can be adopted in other cities, making a strong business case for healthy VIS to public space development throughout Europe.
