Abstract/purpose

The city of Sønderborg and the activities of Project Zero are mentioned in many contexts as a good case to study in relation to the implementation of Smart Cities activities. The city represents a good source of data that can be used for benchmarking purposes in the CITIES project, and Sønderborg is a good case to use for test of the different tools that are used and developed in the CITIES project. The case “Sønderborg” and the activities of CITIES also have relevance for the industrial partners in CITIES, as well as for stakeholders, engineers and planners who are not CITIES partners. The plan for the day is to give an overview of CITIES and ProjectZero activities, and to establish tangible contacts between the city case and the strategic research project. Furthermore: To establish specific examples of CITIES demonstration projects.
