Healthy urban Digital Twin development for spatial planning in mid-size cities
The intelligence behind
climate-neutral cities. Powered by generative AI agents
and explainable Digital Twins.
GENeCITY helps cities take practical steps toward a climate-friendly future. By combining local data, advanced digital tools, citizen science and community knowledge, the project helps cities explore different options for tackling challenges such as heat, air pollution, mobility, and green spaces. Working with cities and citizens across Europe, GENeCITY supports better-informed decisions, stronger public engagement, and more effective climate action tailored to local needs.
GENeCITY vision
GENeCITY empowers cities to turn climate ambitions into action. By combining local data, digital city models, community knowledge, as well as explainable and trustworthy artificial intelligence, it helps cities explore future scenarios, make informed decisions, and co-create practical pathways towards climate neutrality. Together, citizens, researchers, businesses, and policymakers can support a more sustainable, inclusive, and evidence-based urban planning.
Cities
WHAT?
Cities face growing challenges from climate change, including rising temperatures, air pollution, traffic congestion, and pressure on urban green spaces. At the same time, city leaders need reliable ways to understand how different policies and investments will affect people and the environment.
GENeCITY provides a digital platform that brings together data, local knowledge, and AI-assisted analysis to help cities test different actions and understand their potential outcomes before implementing them.
WHY?
Climate action is complex, and decisions often involve uncertainty. Cities need tools that can turn large amounts of information into clear insights while remaining understandable and transparent to both decision-makers and citizens.
Without reliable and accessible decision-support tools, it can be difficult to assess the long-term impacts of policies, build public trust, and coordinate effective action across different sectors and stakeholders.
HOW?
GENeCITY follows a collaborative, city-driven approach:
Connect: Bring together local data, environmental information, and citizen contributions into a shared digital environment.
Explore: Use artificial intelligence and interactive tools to create and compare different “what-if” scenarios for climate challenges such as heat, air quality, mobility, and urban greening.
Act: Support cities, citizens, researchers, and businesses in co-designing practical solutions and turning climate goals into measurable local actions.
