The Smart Cities Marketplace has recently published its final publication, "From Small to Large: Best Practices for Local Sustainable Solutions", providing lessons learned from technical assistance and support it provided to cities over the years. It showcases best practices from cities across the EU, providing insight into the provided support, the solutions and planned results, hoping to inspire others.
Europe's energy and climate transition has reached a defining moment. Sustainability and affordability, along with resource and energy independence, has become more important than ever, due to both environmental concerns and geopolitical instability. The priority now is to translate Europe's collective ambition and field-tested insights into tangible, large-scale delivery across all Member States.
This requires not only strong policies, but effective mechanisms that can connect innovation, investment and local action Cities are where this transformation takes shape.They are the level at which solutions are deployed, systems are integrated, and citizens experience change in their daily lives. From clean energy and buildings to mobility and digital applications, cities are driving forward practical affordable and competitive solutions that contribute directly to Europe's strategic objectives.
