RESEARCH AREAS

Smart Cities

Description

In the Smart Cities Area we support local authorities to plan the energy transition towards the decarbonisation of cities, facing medium and large time horizons (2030, 2050) through the analysis of complex energy scenarios. We deploy capacity building strategies, in order to promote the maintenance of this capacity in the local environment.

We also develop high-value services in urban platforms, based on open specifications and making decisions through the analysis of large amounts of information with advanced machine learning and Big Data techniques.

Moreover, we develop and support the reporting and evaluation of the effectiveness of the Sustainable Energy and Climate Action Plan (SECAP) and the Sustainable Urban Mobility Plan (SUMP) for Municipalities.

 

Research lines

  1. Research over urban platforms based in open specifications including support decision-making systems.

  2. Research and development of urban indicators systems.

  3. Development of methodologies and tools for the design of urban transformation strategies in cities.

  4. Research in new governance methods.
