The Driving Urban Transition (DUT) Partnership builds upon and steps up the ambition and efforts of the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe (JPI UE). DUT aims at developing and implementing a transformative research and innovation programme to strengthen urban transitions towards climate-neutral, inclusive and sustainable urban areas. In order to support cities along their specific strategies, the Partnership focuses on three critical urban sectors, energy, mobility and circular economy, and their interrelations. Three Transition Pathways – Positive Energy Districts, the 15-minute City and Circular Urban Economies – will be addressed with a long-term perspective. The DUT Partnership also contributes substantially to the European Union Mission: Climate-neutral and Smart Cities Mission of Climate-neutral Cities, the European Green Deal, and the Urban Agenda for the EU.
DUT is a co-funded Partnership under Horizon Europe.
