Closed

Project in brief The rapid pace of urbanization in the Mediterranean area over the last decades have raised a series of issues mostly related to air quality, energy efficiency, waste recycling, pressure on natural resources, pollution and social welfare of urban inhabitants. While cities population will continue to grow in the next years, it is of fundamental importance to ensure the transition from spontaneous to carefully planned urban development. To contribute to this challenge, LOCAL-SATS aims to support the design and implementation of policies which optimize sustainable urban development processes. The project will target local administrations by providing them with flexible tools and geospatial applications in order to improve territorial management. Specific objective To promote sustainable urban development in the Mediterranean Sea Basin through the exchange among local authorities of experiences and best practices related to geospatial applications for territorial planning
