DUT Call 2024 – 15-minute City - Topic 2: Reconsidering urban mobility systems: towards system innovation and proximity policies for sustainable city regions
Mobility provides city dwellers with essential opportunities to organise and satisfy their daily needs. However, at the same time, the mobility sector is responsible for several challenges to sustainability, such as high levels of GHG-emissions, air and noise pollution, which are significantly worse in urban areas. In this context, the 15-minute City Transition Pathway in DUT promotes concepts, evidence and interventions that support urban mobility transitions. In order to make our cities more liveable, inclusive and climate-neutral, the focus is set on 15-minute neighbourhoods that recognise different urban contexts. The focus lies on knowledge creation, transferability and implementation. Multiple, possibly diverging pathways are necessary for reaching sustainable mobility and transport in different contexts – applying place-sensitive approaches. The urban mobility system is complex system: Commuters cross municipal boundaries several times daily where local jurisdiction shifts, people often change modes of transport, many levels of governance are involved in regulation, funding and the offer of transport services. In the context of strong population growth in suburban areas, a systemic and dynamic understanding of the urban mobility system is needed, including an analysis of the role of the different actors and level of government involved (e.g. core cities, sub-urban neighbourhoods, peripheral centres, regional level), and the importance of strategic partnerships, considering that city administrations are not always the core decisional level, especially for transport across city boundaries. This topic encourages unravelling the complexity of the mobility system in cities, functional urban areas and city-regions and elaborating cross-sectoral and multi-scalar perspectives on the urban mobility system, in connection to the 15-minute City concept.

DUT Call 2024 - Positive Energy Districts (PED) - Topic 3: Managing the urban energy transition: data management and decision support systems
The Positive Energy Districts (PED) Transition Pathway (TP) is aimed at supporting the planning, implementation and replication of PEDs throughout Europe. These activities are meant to contribute to the realisation of at least 100 PEDs by 2025. As a concept, the Positive Energy District supports the vision of future urban energy systems, by both optimising energy efficiency and facilitating the generation of renewable energy, from the scale of city districts down to individual buildings. Moreover, urban districts following the PED approach will be able to support the regional or national energy system through the smoothing of energy production peaks, management of demand and facilitating the exchange and storage of energy. The energy transition requires new ways of urban data management and a sensible use of digital tools for both decision-making and operation. In this regard, this topic focuses on exploring and advancing innovations that enhance the planning, monitoring and optimization of PED that, at the same time, are integrated into city-wide decision-making tools and strategies for energy planning. The key challenge within the PED context is to support situation awareness and decision support to various stakeholders, which has to adequately handle an ensemble of distributed data sources (e.g. from various renewable energy appliances) and dynamic and multidirectional data streams (e.g. in the case of V2G). To account for the systemic character of this challenge, novel approaches beyond energy technology development are required that also enable efficient resource and capacity management, and which allow for the adequate management of data protection.

DUT Call 2024 - Positive Energy Districts (PED) - Topic 2: Towards the climate-neutral city: PEDs, system integration and urban strategies
The Positive Energy Districts (PED) Transition Pathway (TP) is aimed at supporting the planning, implementation and replication of PEDs throughout Europe. These activities are meant to contribute to the realisation of at least 100 PEDs by 2025. As a concept, the Positive Energy District supports the vision of future urban energy systems, by both optimising energy efficiency and facilitating the generation of renewable energy, from the scale of city districts down to individual buildings. Moreover, urban districts following the PED approach will be able to support the regional or national energy system through the smoothing of energy production peaks, management of demand and facilitating the exchange and storage of energy. European cities are working towards climate-neutrality and PEDs are an important element for neighbourhood-oriented solutions for the urban energy transition. However, to overcome isolated PED solutions across the city, there is a need to strategically integrate these local solutions into an aligned strategic framework at the city level and to align local solutions with top-down city-wide strategies, such as urban development plans, heating and cooling strategies, sustainable urban mobility plans, etc., carefully considering the different needs on different scales. This topic focuses on city-wide strategies for the urban energy transition and the positioning of PEDs in overall urban planning processes. It asks for thorough analysis and conceptualization of energy system integration and putting different elements of a systemic energy transition into a strategic framework. Furthermore, the role of the public urban sector as a driver for the energy transition is in focus, by leading the way and setting examples within the public realm (public services and public building stock in general, infrastructure and public or subsidized housing in particular).

DUT Call 2024 - Positive Energy Districts (PED) - Topic 1: Local PEDs in a multi-level perspective
The Positive Energy Districts (PED) Transition Pathway (TP) is aimed at supporting the planning, implementation and replication of PEDs throughout Europe. These activities are meant to contribute to the realisation of at least 100 PEDs by 2025. As a concept, the Positive Energy District supports the vision of future urban energy systems, by both optimising energy efficiency and facilitating the generation of renewable energy, from the scale of city districts down to individual buildings. Moreover, urban districts following the PED approach will be able to support the regional or national energy system through the smoothing of energy production peaks, management of demand and facilitating the exchange and storage of energy. Decentralising the energy system is expected to increase the resilience of urban energy systems. Local action needs to be intertwined with action on regional and national levels, making the PED development substantially a multi-level challenge. While it is recognized that decentralization supports flexibility for the energy grid, strategic and regulatory frameworks are still missing that could support this transition on relevant levels of urban governance and implementation. This topic explores the scope of action at the neighbourhood level in relation to city, regional and national levels, against the background of European and global energy technology trends. There is a need to explore and define the role of the local (neighbourhood) level in a systemic energy transition. This role relates to the operation of local energy markets that are systemically integrated in the overall energy market, but equally includes the implementation of just transition processes. A viable design of a multi-level governance approach in which each level of government contributes to achieving the overall climate goals not only includes governance issues, but needs to thoroughly explore regulatory issues, public-public and public-private relations for sustainable climate investment, and the consideration of different socio-cultural and socio-political settings. In short: what combination of activities on the different scale levels creates the overall conditions for the energy transition to flourish?

DUT Call 2024 – 15-minute City - Topic 3: Evidence for the urban mobility transition: data and indicators for effective decision-making
Mobility provides city dwellers with essential opportunities to organise and satisfy their daily needs. However, at the same time, the mobility sector is responsible for several challenges to sustainability, such as high levels of GHG-emissions, air and noise pollution, which are significantly worse in urban areas. In this context, the 15-minute City Transition Pathway in DUT promotes concepts, evidence and interventions that support urban mobility transitions. In order to make our cities more liveable, inclusive and climate-neutral, the focus is set on 15-minute neighbourhoods that recognise different urban contexts. The focus lies on knowledge creation, transferability and implementation. Multiple, possibly diverging pathways are necessary for reaching sustainable mobility and transport in different contexts – applying place-sensitive approaches. Robust data empowers policymakers to design targeted, impactful strategies, optimise resource allocation and foster innovation for the mobility transition. However, lack of access to sound data and tools poses a current challenge for city administrations. In the context of urban mobility transitions, there are gaps and fragmented availability of data across a multitude of sectors, stakeholders and levels of government. Furthermore, a particular challenge are substantial costs and lack of capacities, which hampers efforts to develop interventions based on solid evidence. This topic focuses on the need for robust and accurate data, which is supported by scientific insights, is locally contextualised and complemented by qualitative inputs. It sets out to foster effectiveness, transparency and inclusiveness of urban policy in the mobility and transport sector, by improving data accessibility and accuracy, assess and pilot tools for monitoring and visualisation as well as building local skills and capacities.

DUT Call 2024 – 15-minute City - Topic 1: Advancing urban mobility: innovations for inclusive and youth-centric mobility systems
Mobility provides city dwellers with essential opportunities to organise and satisfy their daily needs. However, at the same time, the mobility sector is responsible for several challenges to sustainability, such as high levels of GHG-emissions, air and noise pollution, which are significantly worse in urban areas. In this context, the 15-minute City Transition Pathway in DUT promotes concepts, evidence and interventions that support urban mobility transitions. In order to make our cities more liveable, inclusive and climate-neutral, the focus is set on 15-minute neighbourhoods that recognise different urban contexts. The focus lies on knowledge creation, transferability and implementation. Multiple, possibly diverging pathways are necessary for reaching sustainable mobility and transport in different contexts – applying place-sensitive approaches. The mobility sector continues to be one of the major challenges for urban areas, and central for reaching emission reductions as well as improving accessibility of opportunities and local quality of life. Recent data on the rise of global temperature calls for faster implementation. Furthermore, access to mobility options is not equal: some target groups are currently underrepresented in planning and policy-making processes and face the risk of being left behind. Advancing urban mobility transition therefore requires attention to critical issues and key target groups of 15-minutes Cities. With key target groups in mind, it is necessary to advance learning from successful examples, transfer existing solutions, interventions and proven methods, and extend them beyond established domains.

DUT Call 2024 - Circular Urban Economies (CUE) - Topic 3: Multi-city strategies for circular urban economy monitoring and management
The Circular Urban Economies Transition Pathway (CUE TP) aims to support cities to become more resource efficient and reduce their impact on the planet. CUE encourages cities to implement circular measures that address socio-economic inequalities, promote social cohesion, and improve access to urban resources, services, and green and blue spaces. Access to robust and reliable data is critical for driving the transition to a circular economy within urban areas. However, simply having data available is not enough to catalyse the necessary changes in how materials circulate throughout cities. The true challenge lies in maximising the advantages of this data, leveraging this, ensuring its quality and accessibility, and to enhance awareness, understanding, decision-making, and actionable initiatives at the level of local urban governance. This requires interconnected integration of scientific insights, policy frameworks, and community engagement. Thus, the primary focus of this topic is on devising robust strategies for monitoring and gathering data on circular economy practices specifically tailored to the dynamics of urban environments and their large variety of resource flows.
