Featured in Forbes Portugal: NOVA Cidade – Leading the Future of Urban Innovation 🏙️ The NOVA Cidade - Urban Analytics Lab, one of the 14 pioneering laboratories at NOVA IMS, is dedicated to turning academic knowledge into real-world impact. Led by Miguel de Castro Neto, Dean of NOVA IMS and Coordinator of the lab, the team is spearheading several innovative projects that are shaping the future of urban environments. One key initiative is a European project to develop a digital twin of Lisbon's Baixa district, allowing for improved planning and management through advanced digital modeling. Another project is centered around the 15-Minute City concept, aiming to ensure that essential services are within a 15-minute reach for all residents. 🤖🌇 "In the short term, we will see significant changes in human and territorial intelligence in our country", says Miguel Castro Neto.

CSX Community Sustainable Experiences represents the first opportunity I had to apply an academic paper totally written on my own! I'm so glad to be part of the authors who wrote about topics like communities and social innovation. In my paper, starting from design methodology and university experiences, I dived into the complex topic of community based design, an approach that decentralizes the focus from individuals (human centered design) to give answers to needs shared among multiple people with common values and goals. Source of knowledge for the paper were social studies and game theories which converge in the Community as an Onion Framework (CAAO), useful for designers and decision makers to analyze social contexts and to design new valuable ways of being a community, possibly a sustainable community. #CSX #socialinnovation #design #community #game #communitybaseddesign #sustainability PUSH.

✅ New stage for Energypolis Campus 🏢 The first building to house the site of the Innovation Park in Sionwill soon be ready for construction. The five-storey building will embody the vision of our campus, which is linked to the Switzerland Innovation Park West EPFL and the Switzerland Innovation Foundation. 🧑🔬👩🔬Il will house laboratories, offices and workspaces for companies developing innovative projects. On site, companies will have direct access to the expertise of researchers from the HES-SO Valais-Wallis and the EPFL Valais Wallis-Wallis, as well as to state-of-the-art scientific equipment, which is ideal for facilitating the transfer of technology from the laboratory to the economic fabric. ⛓️  The Innovation Park is the final link in the value chain formed by the campus partners HES-SO Valais-Wallis, EPFL Valais Wallis and Fondation The Ark. Once operational, it will help to maximise the potential for synergies between basic research, applied research and economic valorisation. 💬 The building will be managed by Energypolis SA. One of the company's tasks is to develop the Energypolis Campus community by networking the actors of the area, while promoting interaction and synergies with the economic fabric. #innovation #economicdevelopment #switzerlandinnovation #research 📷 suter sauthier architectes sa

I recently attended a conference about how smart cities can enhance sustainability and resilience, and one of the key insights that stood out to me was the role of communities as essential sensors. Communities provide valuable data, feedback, and insights that help cities better understand local needs and drive meaningful change. However, one challenge that was highlighted is the difficulty of trusting the data and contributions from the community. It’s not just about ensuring trust in the people but about how we can trust the information that is provided. The data gathered from a diverse group of individuals might vary in quality, accuracy, or relevance, which creates a complex challenge for decision-makers. #SmartAndResilientCities #Community #DigitalTwin #UrbanHazard

✨It was an honor to attend the #EnhanceSummerSchool “Synergic Urban System” It was organised by the most prestigious European universities Politecnico di Milano Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule Zürich RWTH Aachen University Technische Universität Berlin Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) Warsaw University of Technology. ✔️This allowed me to learn new knowledge about #HealthAndWellbeing, #ClimateChange, #EconomicLife, #SocialLife, #NaturalLife, #AccessibilityAndConnectivity, #EqualityAndInclusiveness and to apply this knowledge to rethink the current #SantaGiuliaUrbanRegenerationPlan designed by Lendlease 🧠I and my amazing group thought a neighbourhood more #inclusive, #connected for all populations (animals and humans), #carfree, #socially and #environmentally aware. 🤝I would like to thanks all the students and Professors of the different Universities because they allowed me to enrich my cultural background. A special thanks go to Stefano Salata e Andrea De Toni that organised this Summer School 2024 and allowed to live this week in the best possible way.

The Valencia 🇪🇸 #CityLab results from the collaboration between Ajuntament de València, Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and EU Science, Research and Innovation . Focused on urban #sustainability, this joint effort aims to enhance the understanding and management of #urban emissions and mobility through comprehensive #data analysis and innovative methodologies. Six key studies are summarized, each addressing different aspects of urban sustainability in #Valencia: — Vehicle Emissions Trends — Mobility Emissions Methodology — Metropolitan Emissions Analysis — Sustainable Mobility and Emission Reduction — Air Quality and Environmental Justice — 15-Minute City Accessibility The findings underscore the critical role of data-driven approaches and spatial analysis in addressing urban #sustainability challenges. This collaborative work highlights the importance of integrating scientific research with urban planning to create healthier, more liveable #cities.
