The objective of REPLICATE is to demonstrate Smart City technologies in energy, transport and ICT in districts in San Sebastia, Florence and Bristol addressing urban complexity and generate replication plans in other districts and in follower cities of Essen,\nNilufer and Lausanne.\nMain challenges for cities are to increase the overall energy efficiency, to exploit better local resources in terms of energy\nsupply and demand side measures. For successful implementation of Smart City technologies two main elements are\nconsidered:\n- Cities are the customer: considering local specificities in integrated urban plans and the need to develop monitoring\nsystems to extract conclusions for replication.\n- Solutions must be replicable, interoperable and scalable.\nREPLICATE considers also the complexity of cities, the tangible benefits for citizens, the financial mechanisms and the new\nbusiness models. The 3 pillars implemented in the pilots with the engagement of citizens, private actors and authorities are:\n- Low energy districts: cost-effective retrofitting, new constructive techniques with optimal energy behaviour and high\nenthalpy RES in residential buildings. Include also efficient measures in public and residential buildings: ICT tools, PV,\nshading or natural ventilation; district heating is demonstrated hybridising local biomass, recovered heat and natural gas.\n- Integrated Infrastructure: deployment of ICT architecture, from internet of things to applications, to integrate the solutions in\ndifferent areas. Smart Grids on electricity distribution network to address the new challenges, connecting all users:\nconsumers, producers, aggregators and municipality. Intelligent lighting will allow automated regulation of the amount of light\nand integration of IP services via PLC.\n- Urban mobility: sustainable and smart urban bus service, electric urban bike transport, 3-wheeler delivery and transport\nservices, deployment of EV charging infrastructures and ICT tools.
