| Project description |
As cities across the globe confront rapid change, they face
common metabolic challenges to provide Food Water and Energy
(FWE) supplies. IN-SOURCE will develop a shared urban data and
modeling framework to help decision makers (such as
governments, utilities, developers, investors) identify,
quantify and visualize FWE systems and their interrelations for
urban strategic planning and FWE infrastructure investments.
IN-SOURCE is based on three case studies in Ludwigsburg
(Germany), New York (US) and Vienna (Austria), and will examine
scenarios for an integrated CO2-neutral and sustainable
infrastructure as well as the scalability and transferability
of prototype solutions to other cities. |
