Energizing Urban Ecosystems (EUE)

The EUE research program about to be launched aims to find operational models and solutions to meet the challenges posed by urbanization. The aim is to create user-centric and competitive urban solution concepts applicable to existing as well as new areas. Solutions for innovative activity, energy use and mobility will be integrated with design of the built environment, land use and production of services for ecosystems.

The concepts to be developed as part of the EUE program will be modeled, simulated and tested e.g. in the Espoo T3 area (Otaniemi-Tapiola-Keilaniemi). The development will be done in co-operation with the regional development of Östersundom, Helsinki and tested in urban development projects implemented in China.

Public and private actors will engage in close and practically oriented co-operation in the program. The aim is to create an urban development competence cluster that will utilize the solutions developed in the program in the design and implementation of the built environment. The cluster will make it possible to strengthen the competitiveness of the entire sector in the global markets.
