The upcoming call consists of three main topics:

• Call topic 1: Urban circular economies This implies functional urban design in support of circular systems, the use of nature-based solutions - that is actions for societal challenges that are inspired by processes and functioning of nature - for resource circularity and business models supporting circularity in resource use and waste management and for materials needed for smart city development.
• Call topic 2: Community-based developments and urban innovation ecosystems This implies innovative neighbourhoods which enable social innovation and local entrepreneurs, inhabitant engagement and co-creation to support liveable, inclusive and attractive neighbourhoods.
• Call topic 3: Robust and resilient urban infrastructure and built environment This implies an urban infrastructure and a built environment which can resist natural, environmental, social, economic and technological threats on smaller and larger scales based on efficient use of resources. It also implies a fair access to urban infrastructure and the built environment.

The call for proposals is currently planned to open in January 2021. Please also note the interesting draft of the work programme.
