SET-PED

In the context of pressing global challenges like pandemics and climate change, SET-PED aims to develop strategies for resilient, adaptive and inclusive urban environments by proposing a holistic approach to urban regeneration that simultaneously addresses the renovation of neighbourhoods and the integration of local renewable energy systems through regenerative urban furniture. Urban furniture will be equipped with solar photovoltaic (PV) and recycled batteries, while building envelopes will be renovated with circular bio-based systems. Pilot projects will be tested in Sicily, Eskilstuna, and Bucharest, promoting climate-adapted designs. A key expected outcome is the establishment of community-driven, net zero neighbourhoods through co-creation processes that promote well-being and cohesion, ultimately empowering local stakeholders in the transformation of urban spaces.
