EU H2020 RIA PROPOSAL LEAD APPLICANT & RESEARCH LEAD Transforming historic urban areas and/or cultural landscapes into hubs of entrepreneurship and social and cultural integration" SC We are focusing on urban regeneration of deindustrialized areas in city ports: Helsingør in Denmark, Riga in Latvia, Lisbon in Portugal, Piraeus in Greece, Edinburgh in Scotland, and Nantes in France. 1

2 EU H2020 RIA PROPOSAL RESEARCH LEAD ON THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WORK PACKAGE Visionary and integrated solutions to improve well-being and health in cities for SC Partnering with Technalia and ICLEI among others. EU-FUNDED PROJECTS EU KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE, BUILD ( ) RESEARCH LEAD ON THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WORK PACKAGE The objective of the project is to set up transdisciplinary cooperation among universities and businesses to address a skills and financing gap in the biotechnology sector (in the context of the proposal it is indeed nature-based solutions that the consortium focuses on). The skills will help increase entrepreneurship and subsequent market uptake of intelligent living, biotech and biomimicry solutions to help green cities. The project will develop an experimental transdisciplinary education system linking biology, intelligent design and business expertise to provide a programme of educational courses, symposia, educational resources, an accelerator programme and an international call for ideas and new networks. EU H2020 RESEARCH PROJECT URBINAT ( ) RESEARCH LEAD ON THE BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT WORK PACKAGE Regeneration and integration of deprived districts through healthy corridors as drivers for the co-creation of social and environmental nature-based solutions in cities. URBiNAT focuses on the regeneration and integration of deprived districts in urban development through nature-based solutions (NBS), ensuring sustainability and mobilising driving forces for urban social cohesion. Specifically, URBiNAT focuses on "public space" and the creation of new urban, social and nature relations with and between different neighbourhoods. The neighbourhoods are in Porto in Portugal, Nantes in France, Sofia in Bulgaria, Brussels in Belgium, Siena in Italy, Nova Gorica in Slovenia, and Høje-Tåstrup in Denmark. The project objectives are: - Create communities of practice for HEALTHY URBAN LABS and INCLUSIVE COMMUNITY OF PRACTICES - Achieve new models of urban development addressing Nature-Based Solutions for inclusive urban regeneration through an innovative public space and HEALTHY CORRIDORS - Implement an OBSERVATORY FOR URBAN INCLUSIVE AND INNOVATIVE NATURE EU H2020 RESEARCH PROJECT CITIES 4 PEOPLE FOR URBAN MOBILITY INNOVATION ( ) LEAD APPLICANT & RESEARCH DIRECTOR The most recent initiative is also EU funded. It is a three -year research and innovation project that devises People - Oriented Transport and Mobility (POTM) solutions across five European cities building on a blend of new digital and social technologies under an inclusive approach. The aim is to propose solutions of low ecological footprint, a sharing mentality and the potential to solve real urban and peri-urban mobility issues. The research focuses on the following challenges: - Oxfordshire addresses underserved connectivity leading to a mismatch between job locations to residential areas. - Budapest focuses on creating a better linkage between the city proper and its riverbanks providing green re - creational spaces. - Hamburg is removing train tracks opening up a huge urban area of urban redevelopment and enabling new neighbourhood connectivity. - Istanbul is challenged by large numbers of commuters on the Uskudar square deploying multiple modes of transport. - Trikala is experiencing air pollution and traffic congestion in a busy marketspace. 2

3 EU KNOWLEDGE ALLIANCE URBAN CHALLENGE PROGRAMME ( ) LEAD APPLICANT & PROGRAMME DIRECTOR With EU funding, we are running a three-year initiative consisting of elective courses for graduate students focusing on the cross-disciplinary challenges cities face. Each course is a collaboration between local universities, businesses and municipalities: - Edinburgh-Copenhagen Urban Challenge examines local carbon emission policies and how cities are reducing CO2 emissions. - Hamburg-Copenhagen Urban Challenge focuses on urban regeneration of deindustrialized harbours using the Public Asset Corporation as a finance vehicle. - Helsinki-Copenhagen Urban Challenge uses big data to investigate and identify innovative urban mobility solutions. - Riga-Copenhagen Urban Challenge investigates into retrofitting of publicly owned buildings in compliance with green building standards. - Rome-Copenhagen Urban Challenge conducts a comparative study of urban farming and sheds light on how this impacts human well-being and increases urban liveability. EU INTERREG PROJECT SCANDRIA MULTIMODEL TRANSPORT PARTNERSHIPS ( ) RESEARCH LEAD ON SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERSHIPS The EU-funded Interreg initiative investigates clean, multimodal transport that enables increased connectivity and competitiveness of the Berlin-Oslo corridor, - while minimising negative environmental impact induced by transport.

BROOKINGS INSTITUTION PROJECTS NON-RESIDENT SENIOR RESEARCH FELLOW PUBLIC ASSET CORPORATION AS A NEW FINANCE VEHICLE FOR URBAN REDEVELOPMENT ( ) MAIN RESEARCHER & CO-AUTHOR Cities across the world face increasing demands at a time when public resources are under enormous pressure. Cities are plagued by outdated or inadequate infrastructure and underutilized areas. This has sent many cities searching for new vehicles for infrastructure finance given the inability of increasing taxes.
