UP2030 - The 5UP approach and its contextualisation in the project cities (D2.1)

The main objective of this document is to clarify the project workflow, to provide a common ground for all partners on the 5UP approach, and to offer baseline information on the thematic areas and terms of the project.

The deliverable D2.1 Project Vision Consensus (PVC) starts by defining the workflow of the UP2030 project aiming to bring a common understanding to all partners about the process, activities, roles, and relevance of each of their tasks and deliverables. Overall, the PVC represents the UP2030 big picture highlighting cooperation and communication across work packages (WPs) for successful project implementation.

Furthermore, this document includes a description of the 5UP approach and a reflection on the role it plays in the project and the elaboration of the UP2030 Service Platform. Additionally, the document presents the three thematic domains that are approached in the project and the categorization of the cities among them to elaborate visions and accelerate urban transformation towards climate-neutral and social innovative cities. The document concludes with the UP2030 cities working groups that foster interaction, exchange and streamlined support to the cities and liaisons in the execution of the project activities.
