D1.3 – Master City Plans for TA#1 Positive Energy Building Systems
This report is part of the Horizon 2020 Smart city project RESPONSE and is an outcome of Task 1.3: Master City planning for Positive Energy Building Systems (TA#1), which documents the demonstration and replication plans of the Transformation Axis TA#1 “Positive Energy Building Systems” in RESPONSE. The TA#1 “Positive Energy Building Systems” aims to reach high energy efficiency, good indoor climate and energy positivity through new built and deep renovation activities containing increased local RES (renewable energy source) generation on the building level, which is the first technical step to reach Positive Energy districts (PED). The RESPONSE project has two Lighthouse cities (LHCs), one in France (City of Dijon) and one in Finland (City of Turku). They will demonstrate Innovative Elements (IEs), which are smaller technical parts inside the Transformation Axis TA#1. The IEs of TA#1 contribute to energy targets on the pathway to transform the demonstration districts to Positive Energy Districts (PEDs). The results of the T1.3 master planning show that the positive energy building blocks (PEBs) selected for the demonstration actions in “Student Village” in the LHC of Turku and in “Fontaine d’Ouche” in the LHC of Dijon will be transformed into Positive Energy Districts, when all IEs have been implemented. The planned renewable energy (RES) share of the demonstration will be 118% in Turku and 120% in Dijon. The master planning for TA#1 contains altogether 5 Innovative Elements (IEs) in Turku and 9 IEs in Dijon. In addition to that, the building owners will implement conventional refurbishment solutions, contributing to the energy efficiency and renewable energy production in the demonstration areas. In scope of work carried out in T1.3, the preliminarily envisioned replication districts and potentially replicable innovative elements have been evaluated and verified by the LHCs and Fellow Cities (FCs). The six FCs (Brussels, Zaragoza, Botosani, Ptolemaida, Gabrovo and Severodonetsk) have further familiarised themselves with the innovations being implemented in the demonstration areas and have shown interest in planning and studying the feasibility of replicating several of the IEs from both Lighthouse Cities. The verification of the preliminary replication planning of the IEs in the two Lighthouse Cities, paves way for investigating the replicability level in detail within the nominated replication areas within the two cities. The technical and detailed planning, and scheduling of LHCs, will build on the T1.3 master planning results for both cities. The updated plans will be documented in WP6 T6.1, “Dijon Smart City Diagnosis and dynamic Master Planning for TA#1-TA#3”, for Dijon and in WP7 T7.1, “Turku Smart City Diagnosis and dynamic Master Planning for TA#1-TA#3”, for Turku. The respective deliverables containing the updated master plans are “D6.1 Updating Dijon’s City Diagnosis and Master Planning – V1” and “D7.1 Updating Turku’s City Diagnosis and Master Planning – V1”. The replication planning of the Fellow Cities will continue in WP8, “FCs Replication Plans and 2050 Bold City Vision”.
D1.4 Master City planning for Local Energy Supply – Low Carbon & High Share of Renewables (TA#2)
This deliverable describes RESPONSE Lighthouse and Fellow Cities’ Master City planning for Local Energy Supply – Low Carbon & High Share of Renewables (TA#2). Under the WP1- RESPONSE Smart City Framework on energy-transition innovations umbrella, D1.4 defines the exact measures for demonstrating, rolling out, transferring, and replicating ISs of the TA#2. Analysis of this data takes into consideration city characteristics such as i) seasonality, ii) climate conditions, iii) current assets for RES production, iv) capacity and integration needs, v) future assets of RES production, and vi) status of electricity and thermal grids. It facilitates the successful implementation of the ISs identified for TA#2, developing a solid framework for IS transferability, not only within the cities participating in the project, but also within other EU cities. Taking into account the cooperation and regulation framework of each city on a national or EU level, this detailed analysis encompasses aspects such as lessons learnt, perspectives, technical details (specifications, drawing, etc.) for each of TA#2 Innovative Elements considering the collaboration and regulatory framework of each city on a national or EU level. To handle the huge volume of information requested and needed by local partners of each Lighthouse ecosystem, the deliverable and information included herein have been developed using a casespecific process based on Questionnaires and Progress Tracking files (with the help of the Fellow City managers as well).This allowed for the establishment of an iterative process that resulted in high-quality inputs. Furthermore, the initial replicartion plans have been evaluated and verified by the LHs and Fellow Cities (FC). The FCs (Brussels, Zaragoza, Botosani, Ptolemaida, Gabrovo and Severodonetsk) have further familiarised themselves with the IE’s that will be implemented in LH demonstration areas and have shown interest in planning and studying the feasibility of replicating several of IEs from both Lighthouse Cities, with more concrete work continuing in WP8.
D1.5 Master City Plans for TA#3 Sustainable Energy Storage
This report is part of the Horizon 2020 Smart city project RESPONSE and is an outcome of Task 1.5: Master City planning for Sustainable Energy Storage (TA#3). It documents the implementation and replication plans for ‘Integrated Solutions’ in the cities of Turku (Finland) and Dijon (France). These solutions pertain to electricity and heat storage systems. Storage of energy introduces an element of flexibility in the operation of the local electric systems as well as of space heating, cooling, and water heating. By using this flexibility, the system operators can choose to pursue various targets, such as reducing the peak demand, improving the overall system efficiency, increasing the share of local production consumed locally or a combination of some of these. In terms of electricity storages, the city of Turku will implement two 50 kWh battery storage systems. The first one will be assembled from second life batteries, recovered from electric vehicles. The second will be composed of lithium-ion batteries. They will both be used to reduce the local PV production or the consumption peaks, while the second will also provide increased robustness and power quality in the local network. Regarding heat storages, the city of Turku will implement six units of a novel Phase-Change Material (PCM) heat storage with a total capacity of 84kWh. In addition, the city will implement a multitemperature district heating system in which a storage provider will offer PCM heat storage capacity, following the concept of “storage-as-a-service”, where the service provider delivers the heat storage capacity to an agreed yearly payment. In Dijon, the plan is to implement residential PCM storage units to increase self-consumption and reduce heat losses, an industrial hot water buffer tank to reduce the peak gas demand, and finally a collective hot water tank will be installed alongside a building energy management system to increase the self-consumption of the solar production. Both cities have identified areas in which some of the solutions developed could be replicated, both for electricity and heat storages. In addition, six other cities have expressed interest in the solutions that will be implemented. They have identified areas and conditions where some of those solutions could be replicated after the completion of the RESPONSE project. Further technical and detailed planning for Turku and Dijon will build on the T1.3 master planning results and continue in both cities. The updated plans will be documented in WP6 T6.1 “Dijon Smart City Diagnosis and dynamic Master Planning for TA#1-TA#3” for Dijon and in WP7 T7.1 “Turku Smart City Diagnosis and dynamic Master Planning for TA#1-TA#3” for Turku. The replication planning in the six other cities will continue in WP8 “FCs Replication Plans and 2050 Bold City Vision”.
D3.1 Master City plans for TA#4 Integrated and Interconnected City Ecosystems
This deliverable describes RESPONSE’s Lighthouse and Fellow Cities’ Master Plans for Integrated and Interconnected City Ecosystems. WP3 and specifically T3.1 will deliver the RESPONSE Master City Plans on deployment and demonstration of the Smart City Energy Transition Innovations (TA#4). The Master City Plans will present the ISs of TA#4, in order to pave the way for the real-life demonstration (in WP6 & WP7) in the LHs and replication to Fellow cities (in WP8). The specific deliverable provides details of the current status (baseline) and vision of each city related to innovations in City Information Platform (CIP) infrastructure with a special emphasis on Integrated and Interconnected City Ecosystems. The integrated solutions (IS) and respective innovative elements to be demonstrated during RESPONSE should be analyzed in terms of previous experiences through pre-pilots, demonstration areas, local needs and expectations as well as replication potential. The demonstration activities will take place in both LightHouse Cities (LHCs): Dijon Metropolis (DM) in France and Turku in Finland, while replication is foreseen (in addition to the LHCs) for the six Fellow Cities of Brussels: Zaragosa, Botosani, Ptolemaida, Gabrovo and Severodonetsk. The deliverables should take into account the cooperation and regulation framework of each city on a national or EU level, encompassing aspects such as lessons learnt, perspectives, technical details (specifications, drawing, etc.) for each of the transformation axis. Each deliverable and information within, should take into account case-specific methodology based on Questionnaires and Progress Tracking files in order to manage the large volume of information that will be requested and needed by the local partners of each LHC ecosystem (as well as Fellow City managers). The process is going to be iterative and will allow for a higher quality output.
D4.1 Master City Plan for TA#5 CitizenCentric, Resilient and Safe Cities
This deliverable describes the Master City Plans for TA#5 Citizen-Centric, Resilient and Safe Cities of Lighthouse Cities of Dijon and Turku as an action-oriented plan for the implementation of the IEs framed in IS5.1 Enhanced Citizen Participation, Empowerment and Awareness-Raising and IS5.2 Enhanced City Resilience, Social Justice and Safety. Therefore, the Master City Plans were performed based on a wide collaboration in LHCs through the pro-active involvement of TA#5 Leaders, LHC Managers, IS Leaders, IE Leaders and technical partners involved in the IEs, which were responsible for the collection of information. This process allowed the qualitative and quantitative understanding of the conditions allowing citizen-centric, resilient and safe cities through the implementation of the Innovative Elements (IE) related to IS5.1 and IS5.2 in both Lighthouse Cities. This deliverable should also have produced the Governance City Planning and Strategy Handbook for CitizenCentric, Resilient and Safe Cities (TA#5). However, it has been decided by the Task Leader and WP4 Leader, in coordination with the Project Coordinator and the Project Officer, to move the Handbook as a separate deliverable of Task 4.1 with a new delivery date (M24). In this way, the Handbook will collect and critically reflect the experience of Lighthouse cities in the implementation of local activities (Task 4.2; Task 4.3), whose implementation was extended to M48. The Handbook will give insights about best practices (including tools and resources) key success factors, lessons learned, and recommendations to a wider audience (e.g., replication in FCs). The Master City Plan described in this deliverable kept the original purpose of the project (see Section 1.1).
D12.3 Quality Management Plan, Risk Assessment and Contingency Planning Reports – V1
This deliverable D12.3 Quality Management Plan, Risk Assessment and Contingency Planning Reports – V1 describes the quality management plan and risk management plan of the RESPONSE project at the current stage of the project (M12). In a quality management plan, standards and procedures are designed to maintain high quality of the RESPONSE project outcome. They are also strictly monitored and controlled through different management bodies, guidelines and specific processes. The risk management plan is described by implementing a three-step approach of risk identification, risk treatment (quantification and probability assessment) as well as risk mitigation. Moreover, a risk time frame is defined by categorizing them as short- and long-term basis. The corresponding mitigation actions to prevent these risks, as well as contingency plans to solve them in case of their occurrence have been carefully elaborated and are detailed in the document.
D2.1 RESPONSE KPI Framework
This report defines a consistent and standardised methodological framework for establishing the criteria, metrics, and indexes of most appropriate KPIs in the scope of the project for the Smart City development, sustainability and governance. This framework helps to collect data and information (in technical, policy/regulatory, social, economic/business, and environmental domains), to assess and evaluate the progress and the performance of the energy transition in the two LH cities and beyond. This formulation and selection is conducted at various levels of granularity (e.g. building, block, district and city level; timeframe: yearly, throughout the project duration, post-project duration). Tailored KPIs are selected, and an aggregation methodology on the level of Transformation Axis (TA) and City level is designed and implemented per domain. This methodology also helps cities to perform self-assessments and benchmark their performance to other cities by carrying out analysis and sharing this information for disseminating best practices and setting standards for progress, in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The RESPONSE KPI Framework also describes the methodology for the calculation of the indicators investigating also sectorial services (e.g., energy, environment, mobility, ICT, health & safety, citizen engagement and City Governance).
D9.6 RESPONSE scalability and replicability evaluation toolkit – V1
The objective of T9.6 is to develop a software toolkit to be used to evaluate the scalability and replicability potential of some Innovative Elements (IEs) that will be implemented in the lighthouse (LH) cities of Dijon and Turku. This Scalability and Replicability Analysis (SRA) will be conducted in Task 9.7. This deliverable, D9.6, focuses on determining the scope of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)scalability and replicability evaluation toolkit, on describing the ICT characteristics and requirements of the selected IEs, and on presenting the preliminary design of the toolkit. Deliverable D9.6 will be complemented by D9.13, which will provide a more complete description of the toolkit, possible SRA scenarios, and validation details. To determine which IEs, among those where ICT may play a significant role, could be included under the scope of the toolkit, two main criteria were considered: the complexity of developing an accurate simulation model, and how significant the results of such a simulation could be for the quantitative SRA to be carried out in T9.7. For the LH city of Dijon, the system included under the scope of the toolkit is part of IE 4.1.1 GENESYS tunnelling solution, implemented by EDF. The system to be simulated will use the Modbus/TCP protocol over Ethernet to communicate a control and monitoring device, called EMPAIR, with energy assets installed at a block level, such as Energy Management Systems (EMS), batteries, or solar PV. The simulation of the information exchanges in this system will provide relevant information to determine the operation limits imposed by ICT and how the system could be scaled and replicated while guaranteeing a good functioning. For the LH city of Turku, the system included under the scope of the toolkit is the indoors condition monitoring system provided by eGAIN in IE 4.1.8. This system consists of wireless temperature and humidity sensors installed at dwellings that send measurements to a data collector installed at a block or building level. In this case, the communications would be done using the wireless M-Bus protocol. The simulation of these communications will provide insights about how a wireless sensing system implemented at dwellings could be leveraged in a Smart City so that more citizens could benefit from these solutions (e.g., to improve energy use while keeping the temperature comfort). For both LH cities, Dijon and Turku, the overall approach to design the toolkit is the same. In both cases, the toolkit will consist of three main elements, as shown in Figure 1: the simulation model developed using the OMNeT++ simulation framework, a graphical user interface to easily configure and run simulation scenarios, and an analysis tool, consisting of a Jupyter Notebook, to easily generate some relevant charts and indicators.
D5.1 Business models foreground & preliminary flows assessment
This report is part of the Horizon 2020 Smart city project RESPONSE and has been redacted as part of the Task 5.1: RESPONSE business Model for SMART approach, embracing circular economy principles and IoT generated data. Two deliverables are associated to Task 5.1: D5.1 Business models foreground & preliminary flows assessment (M9) and D5.2 Business models development & final flows assessment (M18). D5.1 Business models foreground & preliminary flows assessment is divided into two main parts, the business model foreground and the preliminary flow assessment parts, and reports objectives from each of the three task subtasks. The deliverable has the goal of: i) illustrating various types of BMs from literature and other EU projects (Subtask 5.1.2), in Section 2.1, ii) building a new CANVAS framework with the addition of circularity and IoT generated data considerations (Subtask 5.1.3), in Section 2.2. iii) presents the development of a Business Model Canvas (BMC) framework tailored specifically for Smart City. A new canvas has been prepared including circular economy and IoT aspects. For the RESPONSE project the BMC framework proposed will assume the name of Smart City Circular Business Model (S2CBMC) tool. In Section 3 we have based our analysis of the energy, social and business flows on a previously developed methodology. This action is considered useful to prepare the ground for the development of the business models associated to each of the LH cities. The section introduces the reader to the use of E3Value tool. This tool shows graphically the relationships among the stakeholders. The outcomes of this deliverable will serve mainly as a basis for the remaining activities to be performed in Task 5.1 and that will be described in the deliverable D5.2. At the same time both deliverable D5.1 and D5.2 constitute the basis for the development of case specific BM in the two LH cities, respectively Dijon (Task 5.2) and Turku (Task 5.3).
D5.2 Business models development & final flows assessment
This report is part of the Horizon 2020 Smart City project RESPONSE and has been redacted as part of the Task 5.1: RESPONSE business model for SMART approach, embracing circular economy principles and IoT generated data. Two deliverables are associated to Task 5.1: D5.1 Business models foreground & preliminary flows assessment (M9) and D5.2 Business models development & final flows assessment (M18). D5.2 Business models development & final flows assessment is divided into two main parts, the business models development and the final flow assessment parts, and reports objectives from each of the three subtasks. The present document starts from the general Smart City Business Model canvas and adapts this framework to the specificities of the domains in which the RESPONSE project Innovative Elements (IEs) have been categorized. The categorization is once again a subsequent step with respect to D5.1 where the taxonomy for the classification of IEs has been developed. In the present deliverable the completed taxonomy is presented, together with an example necessary to clarify how it can be employed to understand how IE have been classified. The classification represents the first step required for the subsequent development of the BM canvas associated to the specific IE, for which considerations on the completion of the main building blocks have been provided. Furthermore, a specific section has been devoted to investigating data management, exploitation and commercialization strategies, firstly regarding the general existing approaches irrespective of the industry considered and then specifically in the context of Smart Cities (SCs). Substantial data collection opportunities are opening up for SCs and, while the open access approach appears to be the most common, relying on the value of initiatives developed by private citizens and enterprises, attempts and opportunities involving the commercialization of SCs data are being evaluated. The Innovative Elements (IEs) to be demonstrated in the two Lighthouses Cities (LHCs) have been analysed to understand the interactions between them, and from that, the exchanges induced by their adoption between the stakeholders. These exchanges can be energetic, economic; they can consist in data flows, or they can be sources of social/environmental impacts. An analysis of the demonstration areas has also been performed for each LHC, to highlight the main groups of exchanges; three (3) main groups were defined for Dijon LHC and two (2) for Turku LHC. The energetic flows consist mainly in electricity and heating/gas exchanges. Regarding electricity, the main actors involved are the buildings’ owners that become producers through the installation of PVs, the electricity suppliers and distributors (DSO) and the end-users (residents and/or users of the facilities that can be sports halls or schools for example). Regarding heating and gas in Dijon, in addition to the buildings’ owners, energy suppliers/distributors and end-users, are also involved stakeholders from the waste incinerator and biomethane plants. Economic flows are a direct consequence of the energetic exchanges. Usual payment from end-users to energy suppliers or distributors are the most common economic flows; in addition, there will be economical exchanges from the electricity suppliers to the buildings’ owners that have the possibility to sell them the excess of PV production. Moreover, buildings’ owners will sell the PV production to the residents. From the residents’ side, this will lead to a decrease into the energy consumption and costs. The demonstrated IEs will participate to the reduction into CO2 emissions in both LHCs. For the residents specifically, in addition to the energy savings, and thus, the economic savings, some solutions will help them to manage their consumption and to increase their involvement into energy related questions; some IEs will also bring comfort (temperature, air quality) to the tenants. For the buildings’ owners, there will be a reduction into energy costs, that could lead to a decrease into the turnover of the residents. Moreover, the green image of the buildings could be attractive to some new tenants. Both LHCs will benefit from the demonstration of the IEs that will participate to reach objectives of emissions reduction, and to reach the climate plans objectives. The outcomes of this deliverable will then constitute the basis for the development of case specific BMs in the two LHCs, respectively Dijon (Task 5.2 and D5.3/D5.8) and Turku (Task 5.3 and D5.4/D5.9), and in the FCs (Task 5.4, D5.5/D5.10). It could also be helpful for the FCs, to understand better the links between the different IEs proposed through the RESPONSE project.
D5.4 Turku Business Models Portfolio – V1
The main goal of D5.4 Turku Business Models Portfolio – V1 is to develop case specific Business Models (BMs) to assess the global benefits and drawbacks of IS in capturing value for the investments foreseen. In scope of work carried out in T5.3, Chapter 4 of this document presents the BMs for seven Innovative Elements (IEs). Business models were analysed using the Smart City Business Model Canvas (SCBMC) introduced in D5.1. The work was initiated by setting up a trial with three partners and task leaders, discussing the filling of the canvas in several sessions. After the discussions the three partners returned their filled canvases also providing the feedback on the canvas. Other four canvases were filled independently by the partners. All BM’s in Turku BM Portfolio -V1 are profitable when evaluating them on the basis of non-monetary revenues, as they are addressing the challenges of the city (e.g., climate change mitigation and adaptation, citizens well-being, social equity and accessibility). However, partners developing the BMs for D5.4 were not able to evaluate the revenue streams at this stage in 4 BMs, (IE 1.2.8-10, IE 4.2.4, IE 5.2.4, IE 5.2.5.). The maturity level of ISs/IEs need to be higher to do that. Three BMs, IE 2.2.7, IE 4.1.10, IE 4.1.6, describes revenue streams, both non-monetary and monetary. Next steps are aimed to discuss the IE’s that were not analysed in D5.4 and develop BM’s from them for D5.9 (due on M30).
D5.3 Dijon Business Models Portfolio – V1
This report is part of the Horizon 2020 Smart city project RESPONSE and has been prepared as part of Task 5.2: Business Models for Dijon Integrated Solutions, deployment, and replication. Two deliverables are associated to Task 5.2: D5.3 Dijon Business Models Portfolio – V1 (M18) and D5.2 Dijon Business Models Portfolio – V2 (M30). WP5 Business Models for Smart City Solutions and Governance Capacity aims to assist smart cities and stakeholders to capture value, by ensuring sustainable and replicable strategies for the Business Models (BMs). T5.2 more specifically focuses on producing 20+ fine-grained Business Models for the Dijon Lighthouse City (LHC) ecosystem. Indeed, RESPONSE is a fertile ground for innovations that are neither industrialized nor commercialized yet; and consequently, do not have yet their own proper BM. T5.2 also seeks to produce comprehensive BMs, encompassing economic, social, environmental and data aspects. To do so, it relies on the tools produced in T5.1 RESPONSE Business Model for SMART approach, embracing circular economy principles and IoT generated data. D5.3 consists in a first version of the BM portfolio. The 21 BMs for this deliverable were produced using the Smart City Business Model Canvas (SCBMC) proposed in D5.1. The canvases for each IE were filled through successive interviews with relevant partners and stakeholders. The outcome of this deliverable aims to serve as an in-depth overview of all aspects of the solutions deployed in Dijon, to assist the Fellow Cities (FCs) in defining replication plans, or to study replication possibilities with local partners inside the Metropolis of Dijon. IE 1.1.2 PV Pergolas and IE 1.1.3 PV Balustrades, that allow for an optimal use of space on buildings’ roofs for production in urban areas, are especially promising. However, this deliverable shows the economic analysis must be deepened with regards to the context (COVID-19 crisis, Ukraine crisis, etc.) affecting electricity and steel prices. IE 2.1.1 Collective Self Consumption also proved to be a promising solution because it proposes a methodology and tools to share locally the production, with high replicability potential. As a follow-up, D5.8 will further scrutinize the BMs, with a more accurate and quantitative description of the IEs. It will also delve into the two previous IEs to exhibit strategies for optimal replication.
D4.6 Planning and management of Open Innovation Challenges in Dijon & Turku – V1
This deliverable describes the organizational structure of the innovation plans for both LHs (Dijon and Turku), where start-ups, companies and students will create impactful, innovative products and services in response to challenges defined by the cities and their specific needs, in relation with the solutions described under the various RESPONSE Transformation Axis (TA#1-TA#5). To that end, in the current deliverable the initial timeframe for the various Open Innovation Challenges, namely the foreseen ideathons and hackathons, is described, substantiated by an initial description of the platform and a mock-up of that, which will be adapted in order to promote and manage them. The platform will provide the opportunity for: i) co-creating additional solutions than the ones already available, ii) introducing entrepreneurs, investors and mentors to these LH cities, iii) trainings in the fields of data science, open data and business skills, iv) disseminating opportunities of the ISs amongst peers and cities via RESPONSE, communication channels and events like webinars or e-classes.
D8.1 FCs Replication activities planning and Sustainability roadmap creation
This report presents the activities performed in Task 8.1 – FCs Replication strategy, activities planning and Sustainability roadmap creation and is part of WP8 – FCs Replication Plans and 2050 Bold City Vision. The overall aim of Task 8.1 is to set the foundation for supporting the Fellow Cities (FCs) in the definition and development of their city-specific replication strategy, activities planning and Sustainability roadmap creation, guiding them into selecting the most appropriate Integrated Solutions (ISs). The contents of the Replication guide are inspired by the publicly available sources in literature (guiding documents by EC and panels of experts, and other EC projects) and by the activities planned through the different Work Packages (WPs) since these activities should be a strong reference for the FCs. As methodological choice, the Replication guide is structured into four (4) phases. These phases have been discussed with the main partners of Task 8.1 and Task 8.2 for a first review and then presented to the FCs in order to adjust the guidelines according to their actual needs. The four phases are organised as follows: i) first phase: a state of the art of the FCs’ situation at the beginning of the RESPONSE project; ii) second phase: divided into two sub-phases, one related to the stakeholders’ ecosystem creation/involvement and the analyse of the Innovative Elements (IEs) that best suit the needs of the FCs; the other one related to the fundings research and BMs creation; iii) third phase: regards the finalisation of activities performed in Phase 2 and the planning of the activities to implement the solutions; iv) fourth phase: determination of the implementation of the IEs. Replication covers a vast range of topics; the Smart Cities Information System (SCIS) has outlined four main clusters that a city should take into systematic consideration when dealing with a replication project. These clusters are interconnected and are taken into consideration during each phase of the replication activities: i) Technical aspects; ii) Financial and economic aspects; ii) Regulatory and administrative aspects; iv) Social aspects. After the illustration of the process towards replication, the key elements of the methodological framework for the preparation of a 2050 Bold City Vision have been outlined. Finally, the document presents an updated overview of the six Fellow Cities with respect to their goals and progresses made in the initial phase of their replication activities.
D8.2 FCs Ecosystem Replication tools development and capacity building- V1
Deliverable D8.2 is a report providing an overview and details of the tools that RESPONSE Fellow Cities (FCs) can use in the process of designing their replication plans as well as a first planning overview of knowledge-exchange activities between Fellow and Lighthouse Cities (LHs) of the project. It is to be used together with D8.1 FCs Replication activities planning and Roadmap creation, which provides Fellow Cities with guidelines on creating their replication plans and bold city visions. This deliverable distinguishes between capacity-building, planning and technical tools (first category) that can be useful to RESPONSE FCs on the one hand, and knowledge-exchange tools on the other hand, including a description of every tool (second category of tools). Further information for each tool from the first category, including where to find and when to apply it in phases 1 [M13-24] and 2 [M25-48] is outlined in D8.1. Allocation of tools to phases 3 [M49-60] and 4 [after the end of the project] of the replication roadmap will follow in the next version of D8.2 to be submitted in March 2023. For the second category of tools, a description of each one is provided, as well as information on its application in RESPONSE and a preliminary overall planning of knowledge-exchange activities within the project. The tools included in this deliverable mostly stem from other SCC1 Lighthouse projects, but also from within the RESPONSE consortium. This deliverable will support FCs in designing their replication plans (Deliverables D8.3-8.8 Replication Roadmap, Planning & Bold City Vision)
