VARCITIES, Horizon 2020 (https://www.varcities.eu/) 

The vision of VARCITIES is to implement nature-based actions in cities. In an increasingly urbanised world, cities  face several challenges and threats and struggle to propose credible urban futures and new opportunities for  their citizens. VARCITIES is an ambitious project that puts the citizens and the “human communities” at the centre  of future cities’ vision, in the belief that future cities should become fully human-centred. 

The project officially started in September 2020 and it will last until February 2025. The Consortium is composed  of 25 partners under the lead of Telecommunication System Institute (TSI). Eight Pilot Cities will test and  implement a series of innovative nature-based actions.
