CITyFiED
Sustainable and smart cities
Description
The CITyFiED European project, co-financed by the European Commission under the Seventh Framework Program, aims to develop an integrated strategy to adapt existing cities to more sustainable and smart cities.
This strategy focuses on reducing the energy demand of the residential building stock and greenhouse gas emissions, along with increasing the use of renewable energy sources. This development is complemented by an extensive demonstration activity in the cities of Laguna de Duero (Spain), Lund (Sweden) and Soma (Turkey).
Objectives
- Development of innovative and efficient methodologies for planning, replication and implementation of interventions in urban areas.
- Large-scale demonstration action in the cities of Laguna de Duero (Spain), Lund (Sweden) and Soma (Turkey).
- Maximization of the replicability of the project through the active participation of the CITyFiED network of cities.
- Exploitation and dissemination of the project results to promote awareness and commitment to sustainability.
Actions
- Energy efficient building retrofitting.
- Integration of renewable energy sources (photovoltaic, solar thermal, heat pump, biomass).
- ICT monitoring platform.
- Social acceptance and citizen participation.
Expected results
Based on a citizen-centric approach, CITyFiED has successfully implemented three large demonstration actions for the energy efficient retrofitting of 190,462 m2, involving 2,067 dwellings and more than 5,700 citizens, who have directly benefited from the project. CITyFiED has mobilized 37.8 M€, contributing to reduce the energy consumption up to 35%, lower greenhouse gas emissions (savings of 2,453 tCO2 / year), greater use of renewable energy and high social acceptance.

Networking
Smart Cities projects:
SGA1-NZC
SGA1-NZC has as an objective give support to 100 cities selected to be intelligent and climate neutral by 2030.
ASCEND
ASCEND aims to accelerate the implementation of Positive Clean Energy Districts (PCEDs) for the transformation of cities towards climate neutrality and social justice in Europe. To this end, Ascend will carry out the following measures.
SUPERSHINE
SUPERSHINE project is based on the renvoation of 3 pilot lighthouse districts focusing on the needs of the social housing inhabitants and on social assets generating high social capital and cohesion.
MOVE2CCAM
The project has as main objective to quantify the impact of the massive deployment of autonomous and connected mobility solutions in Europe through the development of a tool based in systems dynamic that will be build as of citizens and organizations perceptions collected in co-creation activities.
NEUTRALPATH
NEUTRALPATH has an objective to demonstrate the deployment of clean and positive energy districts (PCED) designed through participative processes focused on the citizen and that contributes significantly to the transformation of cities towards climate-neutrality at the time horizon 2030.
REHOUSE
REHOUSE project has as main objective the development and demonstration, up to TRL7, of 8 renovation innovative technologies packages, designed for covering a wide range of building renovation actions, allowing overcome the actual barriers that makes the renovation rates in Europe being low.
NetZeroCities
NetZeroCities recognisses the need for cities to develop specific strategies that are tailores to suit local and regional contexts, and will support them by aggregated and co-desgined services and thematic expertise through a one-stop-shop platform accessible to all cities through an online portal (Mission Platform)
ATELIER
ATELIER is a demonstration project whose main objective is the design, implementation and validation of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) in Amsterdam and Bilbao
MAKING-CITY
MAKING-CITY’s main objective is to achieve low-carbon cities thanks to the development of strategies aimed at transforming the urban energy system.
MAtchUP
MAtchUP is a demonstration project whose main objective is the implementation of innovative technologies in the energy, mobility and ICT sectors
mySMARTLife
The mySMARTLife project seeks to create sustainable and ecological cities, increasing energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy and reducing CO2 emissions.
Nature4Cities
Nature4Cities’ objective is to improve decision-making in cities with collaborative nature-based models that can be integrated into urban planning in cities.
SmartEnCity
SmartEnCity aims at a comprehensive sustainable urban regeneration model based on innovative technological solutions for energy, transport and ICTs
REMOURBAN
REMOURBAN’s objective is to develop and validate in three lighthouse cities (Valladolid-Spain, Nottingham-UK and Tepebaşı-Turkey) an urban, holistic and replicable regeneration model that facilitates the process of transforming urban environments into more sustainable and intelligent areas.
