DECUB

DECUB addresses the complex challenge of sustainable urban development and regeneration with a focus on the circular economy at the urban block level, understanding the urban block level as a group of buildings bounded by streets and/or public spaces.

Emphasis is placed on the importance of a technology-based approach and data-driven decision-making at the operational level, involving comprehensive assessment at the urban block scale, including the necessary infrastructure, material flows, open spaces, cultural heritage and community participation.

The aim of the project is to provide the necessary technological infrastructure to assess decarbonisation alternatives at the urban block level that consider both material flows and intangible values in an integrated way.

The expected results of the project are:
✓ Co-design of urban block regeneration solutions through the implementation of 3 Living Labs involving local communities and stakeholders.
✓ Development of a method for the classification of urban block archetypes.
✓ Definition and calculation of indicators on environmental efficiency and heritage aspects.
✓ Development of digital twins of selected urban blocks.
