URBACT
The (bumpy) road to climate neutrality

What do we know about Europe’s journey to climate neutrality? Well, most of us are aware of the headline commitment: through the European Green Deal, the EU is committed to becoming the world’s first climate-neutral bloc by 2050. Ahead of that, the Climate Mission’s 100 front-runners, the NetZeroCities, will hit this target by 2023.

But we also know that this transition to climate neutrality won’t be smooth sailing. The scale of the challenge is as undeniable as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) conclusions about the planet’s current level of danger. Despite this, we can see that the mood may be shifting in the wrong direction. Pushback and resistance are rising, as climate change sceptics seek to hinder the transition to net zero. For example, misinformation about the 15-minute city model has been circulated to stoke citizens’ concerns about their civil liberties, capitalising on post-pandemic anxieties.

We also know that the scale and complexity of the climate-neutral transition creates particular challenges for small and medium-sized cities. Earlier this year, URBACT investigated exactly what this means, through a research project involving 68 cities.

Where are cities going to struggle?

URBACT’s analysis of cities’ needs provides helpful insights into the specific areas where they might struggle. Respondents, most of whom were from small and medium-sized cities, identified the headline challenges as:
1. urgency
2. complexity
3. low awareness levels
4. finance
5. mixed quality data
6. behaviour
For participating cities, energy transition emerged as the highest priority under the broad banner of ‘green transitions’, followed by housing, then education, the latter most likely linked to mindset shifts and reskilling. When it comes to the types of capacity-building needed, energy and energy policy were most frequently cited, specifically in relation to implementation.

How can URBACT help?

URBACT’s core focus is transnational city networks. The programme provides a framework for city authorities – and their thematic stakeholders – to collaborate on addressing their most pressing priorities. Not surprisingly, the most recently approved set of 30 Action Planning Networks (APNs) featured a high proportion of broadly ‘green’ themes. These include:
1. Circular Economy
2. Sustainable Land Use
3. Climate Adaptation
4. Energy Transition
In this new programming period, URBACT also has three cross-cutting themes, which will run through all networks, regardless of their thematic focus. These are: Green Cities, Gender Equal Cities and Digital Cities. At the recent URBACT Summer University, an intensive capacity-building experience for new networks, these transversal themes were highly visible, and the programme plans to further support network activity under them in the months ahead.

In light of the above, an important instrument will be the EU City Labs, the first of which will take place in Viladecans, Spain, on 23-24 November 2023.

Where do the EU City Labs come in?

Starting this month, the EU City Labs will showcase leading-edge activities related to selected themes. These events are co-hosted by URBACT and the European Urban Initiative (EUI), who collaborate on supporting sustainable urban development across the EU. The City Labs will provide a trusted space to identify challenges, examine effective methodology and explore the potential for future city-to-city collaboration. Most importantly, they will demonstrate what works, giving participants first-hand experience of the most advanced urban practices in Europe.

In this respect, Viladecans is the perfect host for the first EU City Lab. This Catalan municipality provides an inspiring example of how a smaller city, with big ambitions, can punch above its weight. Its innovative, inclusive approach to tackling energy transition has already been the subject of much attention and acknowledgment. Earlier this year, the city was given the EU Green Leaf award, together with the city of Treviso (IT), in recognition of its efforts towards climate neutrality. Viladecans was also a lead partner in the pilot URBACT Innovation Transfer Networks (ITNs), where it sought to transfer its Urban Innovative Actions (UIA) project on local energy communities to three other EU cities.

Two of those cities, Trikala (EL) and Nagykanizsa (HU), will join the November City Lab to share their own stories of that replication journey. Other UIA cities, such as Getafe, will also share the stage, which is appropriate at an event jointly supported by URBACT and the EUI.

Beyond Viladecans

The City Labs are, in essence, experimental spaces. To reiterate, each EU City Lab will have a thematic focus. The first shines a light on the energy transition, with two related events taking place within a period of months. The second, launching in early 2024, will focus on food, a theme around which the programme has an established body of experience.

Starting with Viladecans, the City Labs should provide an important platform for leading stakeholders, focused on the energy transition and other themes, to consider future collaborative options through URBACT and EUI channels.

For example, the upcoming URBACT ITN call (January 2024) will fund completed UIA city projects to transfer their innovation experiences across Europe, as Viladecans did in the pilot. The programme will also deliver a series of capacity-building activities under each of its three cross-cutting themes.

From the EUI side, it is worth mentioning other collaborative opportunities:
1. Cities can participate in EUI capacity-building events such as the Green Transition capacity-building event that took place recently in Tourcoing.
2. They can apply for EUI Innovative Actions call, the last one included the Greening Cities theme.
3. The EUI City Exchange provides a way for cities to follow up bilaterally to deepen their knowledge of others’ experience first-hand.
4. Through the Peer Review channel, cities can collaborate on improving their sustainable urban development strategies, which can of course include interventions linked to energy transition.
If you didn''t make it to Viladecans, you can surely sign up for future City Labs, so sign up for the URBACT newsletter and stay tuned!

In times when personal sacrifices are much needed to tackle burning societal issues, fostering and enabling collaboration at local level of public administration is of the utmost importance. The partners of this Action Planning network had the opportunity to reflect upon social design, a process to think over alongside local stakeholders how to co-design their social public services towards a more collaborative service. This means to create an urban strategy that somehow engages volunteers to improve communities and public services, reducing costs at the same time.

Consider this: currently, about 35% of the EU's buildings are over 50 years old. We are talking about Cold War times. The era of floppy disks, the first video game Pong, cell phones big as shoes, weighting a kilo or more. All that to say that buildings are responsible for 40% of EU energy consumption and 36% of CO2 emissions, with these older buildings consuming at least five times as much as new ones, and up to 60 litres of heating oil per year. By improving the energy efficiency of buildings, the EU total energy consumption can be reduced by 5-6% and CO2 emissions lowered by about 5%.[1]

Seems like big cities ought to be leading innovation here. After all, they have the highest concentration of buildings and CO2 emissions, right? Even though there is truth to this, for the city of Viladecans (ES) the issue is not just about innovation for energy efficiency. No matter the city’s size. It is about innovation in governance, about changing mindsets, and this is where mid-size cities like Viladecans can prove to be game changers in Europe, so the rest of the world can take note. The city is living proof of how small-scale social innovation works for achieving global goals.

Unavoidably, the European Commission's targeted ecological transition means that behavioural change must happen. Change in people and processes in the ecosystem of socio-political economics and in the ways suppliers, consumers and public players offer energy solutions. In this sense, integration is the participation and active involvement of the business sector, city administration institutions, schools, research centres, universities, and most of all citizens, in particular those feeling the economic squeeze of high energy costs. How to start? Such is Viladecans’ bold proposition called VILAWATT.

Conceived in 2016 with European funding as an Urban Innovative Action (UIA), VILAWATT is an innovative Public-Private-Citizen Partnership for energy governance at the local level, where the participative process involves both building owners and building designers. Its overall objective is to spark a shift in citizens’ thinking about energy, of empowering and motivating citizens to play an active role that leads to a profound change in attitudes and energy renovation processes. VILAWATT is made up of the Viladecans City Council, the Barcelona Metropolitan Area and two associations: The Citizen Association for Energy Transition & The Business and Retailers Association for Energy Transition.

VILAWATT and its Public-Private-Citizen Partnership is based on the idea that energy is not a luxury good, but a basic need. That the charge and responsability for local government is to ensure for citizens that innovation in energy autonomy and governance is based on openness, transparency and trust. Key allies are therefore people and users of energy and those in energy-poverty areas: key tools are awareness-raising and community work. For Viladecans, even though VILAWATT is technically a project applied to energy transition, its actions transcend the electricity grid and the energy market’s cost-benefit considerations. It is a social innovation generating self-reflection and pre-emptive measures in favour of higher efficiency and against energy divisions across society.

Here is some context about how the "local" became "glocal", thanks to a motivated and bold leadership that has driven such process. Viladecans, a city in the south of the Baix Llobregat county, is located near Barcelona and is part of the Barcelona Metropolitan Area. Densely populated with 67,197 inhabitants (2020) in a municipal area of just 20.4 km2, its urban development has been marked by the great waves of immigration and industrialisation of the 20th century — that of the 20’s and, then again in the 60’s and 70’s — which not only transformed a small agrarian town into an industrial and service city, but led to the construction of buildings in new and peripheral neighbourhoods.

Jordi Mazón, Deputy Mayor for ecological transition and leader of the VILAWATT project, frames the duality of the energy challenge for the city in the long-term: “Energy governance is part of the problem and part of the solution". But as Mazón recognises, “the greatest strength of VILAWATT Project has been to create a well-established structure, the PPCP Consortium, which manages energy differently and is leading to the change of the energy model. Viladecans is very well positioned to become a self-sufficient energy community and start the path to be carbon-neutral by 2050".

This carbon-neutral path shares a common direction with other goals in Viladecans, in Europe, and in the world. As a Covenant of Mayors signatory, Viladecans, with its Sustainable Energy Action Plan running since 2009 — updated to Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan, SECAP in 2017 — follows the objectives set by the United Nations and the European Commission’s Urban Agenda, and involves one of the city’s priority axes in Viladecans’ 2030 strategy - Ecological Transition, along with Innovation in Education, City Resilience, and Quality of Life.

Now, Viladecans has also lead the ambitious VILAWATT Transfer Mechanism pilot. This network has ran from March 2021 to September 2022, seeking to transferr the knowledge it has aquired over four years with UIA, to the cities of Seraing (BE), Nagykanizsa (HU) and Trikala (EL).

Funded by the URBACT III Programme, this network aimed to help local governments to drive their energy transition process by the creation of an innovative governance structure — the local public-private-citizen partnership — providing four key services to improve energy management at the local level: energy supply, energy culture, retrofitting of buildings and a local crypto currency linked to energy savings.

Seraing, Nagykanizsa and Trikala are all small to medium cities like Viladecans with ambitious energy strategic plans. All are also signatories of the Covenant of Mayors and are working on their own Plans for Sustainable Energy and Climate for re-orienting their economies towards becoming smarter, more energy efficient, and circular. All are keen to be leaders in their regions, making their cities’ become healthier and greener, exactly what VILAWATT seeks to happen.

For Mazón and fellow VILAWATT pioneers, the initiative is about joining forces in each city to find a way ahead that works, given the disparate local situations each city faces, and borrowing practices that have been successful in partner cities. As he put it, “innovating methods for us is also rethinking what is being done and combining it with new ideas and trends”. Because cities are where most people live, after all, almost 75% of the European population live in urban environments. This has made cities like the ones involved in this network an ideal innovation testing ground at many levels.

Cities can change the frame through which a common problem is viewed. Cities can be testbeds, they can set objective, regulators, and assessors of the incentive costs for changing the status quo. They can also be, in the case of the VILAWATT network, change leaders for citizen-backed, co-designed actions for the city’s just and sustainable transformation to become carbon neutral. The network proposed to partners -- and still invites EU cities to this date -- to find win-wins with a project in which neighbours improve housing conditions making them more energy efficient, access green energy and get more affordable and transparent energy bills. This helps boost living conditions, while at the same time citizens receive training, are more aware of the energy efficiency, conscious of the energy consumption. It also generated employment.

For this, VILAWATT has launched several learning communities and offers specific training in the fields of energy efficiency and renewable energies, involving schools, retail sector, companies, unemployed. For example, ithe partner cities are using “gamification” to help people understand the technical aspects of the initiative, targeting demo-building communities willing to undergo the retrofitting and address energy poverty. While offering incentives to companies to join the currency circuit and benefit from its use, including free energy audits to retailers.

VILAWATT is transformational, not only in terms of its proposed holistic energy transition, but in governance. It is not about creating another bureaucratic layer but about finding ways to integrate the city’s different policies and enabling ways of mobilising the participation of citizens, creating social capital and making the city richer in what matters – healthier, greener lives, leaving nobody behind.

The cities in the VILAWATT network acknowledged that the project can serve as a driver to develop their long-term energy transition processes and demonstrate their alignment and solidarity, from a political view, with achieving UN SDGs and CO2 emissions reductions. The sustainability of these actions was one of the key targets for participants. These, coupled with the Directive on common rules for the internal electricity market (EU 2019/944) that led to the creation of Energy Communities, played a key role in the future of the cities and impacted on the development of each partner city’s respective projects.

Certainly, given the levels of required investments, each city has to find ways to support and encourage owners to engage in undertaking retrofitting measures. While regulations remain at the EU and national/state level, the deep transformations happen at the grassroot community level and these can only be realised in the cities. The timing is right, over the next 7 years, momentum-building mechanisms like Europe’s Next Generation and European Green Deal are ideal for cities like Viladecans and cities that share similar ambitions, so as to maximise their social capital, political will and social innovation capacities to advance their energy transition aims.

In preparation for the post-VILAWATT network, each involved city is prepared investment plans, containing each city’s value proposition for different stakeholders and for use in making the project’s innovative practice sustainable in its own municipality. For Viladecans, the challenge was to draw on the valuable two-way flows of knowledge sharing and feedback, while improving its own original citywide energy strategy and related activities. Viladecans has, for instance, experimented with new ways to engage with different groups and has tested the set up of sharing and learning communities.

VILAWATT and Viladecans' ideas and social innovation are emblematic of an emerging political vision, like Mazón said, gaining traction across Europe. It not only brings a glocal approach to this project, but a humanistic one. Mazón puts it best: “The most amazing materials currently being developed - the ones that are changing fields such as urban planning, engineering, and measurement, transforming our way of life in a radical way - are based on nanoscience”. He explains: “These innovative materials are based on manipulating atom by atom and putting them in optimal positions, to achieve a better material. The macroscopic properties of a material are the result of an optimal microscopic structure.”

Fittingly, he concludes: “Likewise, small-scale innovation on a small/municipal scale must make it possible to build a better society and planet. Municipalities are what atoms are to materials, and politicians are the equivalent of nanoscience engineers. We aim to create a better planet by improving our municipalities".

VIlawatt UTM reaches the finish line

We reach the finish line

After all the joint work carried out and once all the cities that are part of the project - Viladecans (Spain), Nagykanizsa (Hungary), Seraing (Belgium), Trikala (Greece) - have finished their Investment Plan projects (Springboard Plan in the case of Viladecans) it's time to cross the finish line.

20 months during which we have been able to share and exchange experiences with the aim of drawing up Investment Plans that help cities to advance in the energy transition. An objective that has been achieved thanks to the work of the Local Support Groups, the teams in each city, the project coordinators, the methods and tools of URBACT... We had the opportunity to share it all with the public, professionals and experts from the EU in an event in Viladecans on October 18 and 19, 2022 (click here to read the article about the Final Event).

The VILAWATT Transfer Mechanism pilot boosts the energy transition process by setting up a public-private-citizen partnership, where citizens and main social actors play a key role. The priority is to increase citizen commitment and sense of belonging to promote a sustainable energy transition process. Main achievements in the Lead Partner city, Viladecans, include citizens got a saying at the Consortium through the associations linked to it, using a participatory strategy, as they did not exist before. When it comes to energy supply, Vilawatt pools the demand for energy and provides energy to all association members (100% Certified Renewable Energy) Faster energy retrofitting of private buildings.

UIA Transfer Mechanism: five pilot projects ready to take off!

Copy link Facebook X LinkedIn Email

15/11/2022

Urban Innovative Actions and URBACT come together to put into practices the lessons learnt from the Transfer Networks.

Last week, on the 9 March, URBACT's Monitoring Committee have approved five pilot networks to transfer innovative solutions. In 2020, the UIA first call projects came to a close and a proposal was made to test a new URBACT tool which aimed to support the transfer of innovation. The UIA Transfer Mechanism experiment will support a group of EU cities to understand, adapt and prepare to re-use the UIA practice through the co-creation of an investment plan. The 18-month journey of these networks builds on the success of the URBACT Transfer Networks model.

Following a competitive call, 7 pilot projects were submitted for approval. When considering all the 28 potential city partners, 6 candidates were URBACT newcomer cities from 5 different countries, while 16 cities were also newcomers to UIA. This shows what a unique opportunity this networks represented for cities discovering the universe of EU cooperation! As foreseen by the Terms of Reference, eligible proposals have been assessed by a two assesors from URBACT and UIA. Scroll down to find out more about the five newly approved networks.

The URBACT Programme acknowledges and thanks every city that has submitted proposals and used the URBACT Marketplace for this call. URBACT also warmly welcomes the new UIA Transfer Mechanism partners, who will take their first steps in the kick-off meeting on 23 March.
