Climate change, digitalisation, and social inequality all ask for resilient cities. KEMs are powerful tools designed to help policymakers and urban professionals structure change processes, build consensus, and craft effective policy frameworks. By improving methodologies, providing reflection tools and developing a learning environment, the URRRRRban project provides policy professionals with tools and ways of working to engage societal partners and citizens in shaping resilient urban policies. This ensures that cities, their inhabitants and their environment are better prepared for the future.

This project is a collaboration with 4 municipalities, 18 scientific experts from 5 universities and 4 universities of applied science, 16 societal partners and 23 complementary experts. The team will redesign KEMs across five policy cases:

• Energy transition in Amsterdam Zuid Oost
• Healthy, safe and attractive living environments in Enschede
• Smart data use to shape urbanisation in Amersfoort
• Redevelopment and sustainability in vulnerable neighbourhoods in Rotterdam
• Building inclusive and resilient communities for AI and digital transition in Amsterdam.
