Change metropolitan metropolises Around Time (CAT-Med)

CAT-MED aims to prevent the risks related to climate change, through the promotion of a sustainable, compact and multifunctional urban model. On the one hand, it proposes to identify and quantify common objectives, via indicators; on the other hand, it proposes to define a shared and operational model of sustainable Mediterranean district, which makes it possible to modify urban behaviours, in order to reduce their impact on climate change. It will be structured in three successive phases. Tasks include:

• Identify common indicators for the four pillars of sustainable development (environment, economy, social, territory) and its governance as well as optimal values
• Development of evaluation tool for metropolitan actions
• Results from pilot studies will result in solutions on a common vision of sustainable urban development that contributes to prevent the natural risks related to climate change, a common actions to concretize this vision and on shared principles of implementation
• Methodological guide of the Sustainable Urban Districts will be elaborated.
