In the coming years, the European Green Deal and the Digital Europe Programme will play a central role in the implementation of European regulations and the design of funding instruments. One of the aims is to develop European municipalities into smart cities. This requires a European exchange between institutional players and municipalities on how the digital transformation can contribute to realising the goals of sustainable, integrated urban development that is oriented towards the common good at European and national level.

The project addresses the pronounced need for structured bundling and support for the participation of municipalities in European networks, projects and initiatives in the field of "digital transformation and urban development". For the municipalities, networking not only brings knowledge transfer on innovative and proven practices in digital urban development across borders, but also resilient partnerships, collegial advice and opportunities for subject-centred exchange on replicable projects. To this end, the project systematically analyses and supports the participation of municipalities in European networks, projects and initiatives.
