Powerhouse Demonstration Projects Guidelines

The Powerhouse Demonstration Projects Guidelines will outline guidelines, processes and results of the 2-4 most comprehensive and ambitious joint EU-China Powerhouse Demonstration Projects (PDPs) on sustainable urbanisation among the cities participating in the URBAN-EU-CHINA platform, encompassing network infrastructures and sustainable urbanisation concepts, public-private partnerships enabling cross-sectoral cooperation and co-investment. The Guidelines will encompass assessment criteria and principles for clustering cities, developed in close consultation with the European Commission, the Chinese Ministry of Science and Technology, and Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe. The Guidelines will also include advice and support on EU and Chinese policies, financial structures, network infrastructures and other conditions to advance and scale up further EU-China demonstration projects. This deliverable is led by UNNC and NTNU.
