TOMORROW is a Horizon 2020 funded project, aiming at empowering local authorities to lead the transition towards low-carbon, resilient and more liveable cities.

General introduction

Energy Cities and the Dutch Research Institute for Transitions (DRIFT), together with the pilot cities of Brașov (Romania), Brest (France), Dublin (Ireland), Mouscron (Belgium), Niš (Serbia) and Valencia (Spain), spearhead innovative ways to develop long-term transition roadmaps, by implementing the revised transition management methodology. The six cities will develop 2050 transition roadmaps together with citizens and other local stakeholders and serve as pilot for the transition of European territories.

TOMORROW provides an innovative engagement processes in order to foster wide and meaningful participation. Such processes will be based on a review of existing methodologies and approaches successfully used by some frontrunners cities, called lighthouse, involved in the project.

TOMORROW produced a set of factsheets and methodological guidelines to be used as a toolbox by European cities.
