w e i v r e v O RE-VALUING URBAN QUALITY & I A d CLIMATE NEUTRALITY n a l a t i g i D e t a r e l e c 9 864 c Waterfront cities Students involved A Together with JA Norway (Ungt Entreprenørskap), the "Re-Valuing Urban Quality & Climate Neutrality in European Waterfront Cities" (Re-Value) project aims to support European cities in developing, testing, d e v and sharing methods to create value through urban quality, while achieving climate neutrality. It r e s demonstrates the full-scale impact of integrated urban planning and design, focusing on inclusivity, r e beauty, and sustainability, in line with the New European Bauhaus principles. The initiative is part of d n Horizon Europe Innovation Actions, supporting the EU's Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission. U e h t r Re-Value works with nine waterfront cities, four Leading Cities (Ålesund, Bruges, Burgas, and Rimini) and e five Replication Cities (Cascais, Constanța, İzmir, Písek, and Rijeka), to adapt conventional urban planning w o p methods for inclusive, sustainable outcomes. Leading Cities demonstrate integrated urban planning to m reduce GHG emissions by 2030, while Replication Cities learn and develop data-driven scenarios, E participatory models, and financial partnerships to achieve climate neutrality. s p JA Europe and its member organisations facilitate dissemination and enhance civic engagement by i h s organising annual Innovation Camps in each city, bridging youth and local decision-makers. In 2023- r e 2024, 864 students participated in these camps. For instance, Ålesund successfully implemented a n t r winning idea from its camp, improving a green space near the port, showcasing the positive impact of a P collaboration between municipalities and young people. Innovation Camps play a crucial role in involving e t a youth in decision-making, fostering innovative ideas for sustainable urban development, and v i t l emphasizing their roles in shaping the future. This engagement empowers young participants and u C fosters a sense of ownership in their communities' transitions to climate-neutral environments. Coordinated by the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Re-Value is funded by A J Horizon Europe, aiming to align urban quality with climate neutrality by re-valuing connections to e n waterfronts and demonstrating effective urban transitions.
