The Re-Value partnership is a forward-thinking initiative committed to a holistic approach to urban development that aligns climate neutrality and urban quality. By re-valuing the cities’ connection to their waterfronts, promoting transparent decision-making, harnessing technology and data, empowering communities, and prioritising sustainability, the project supports the EU Mission for Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities aims to create cities that are not only climate neutral but also socially inclusive and economically prosperous.

Nine waterfront cities and selected partners collectively seek to tackle the interconnected systemic challenges faced by cities today:

• Systemic changes in governance, regulatory structures, advocacy
• Societal and spatial quality
• Financial and circular value chains
• Data-driven co-creation, digital twins
• Energy and mobility
• Nature-Based solutions

A holistic approach with transparent and participatory decision-making processes that involves all stakeholders at all stages of urban planning ranging from the large strategic and political plans to the individual actions in the pilot areas and beyond.

The work will be supported by three Innovation Cycles focusing on:

1. Aligning climate neutrality and urban quality, using collective story-building to identify co-benefits
2. Co-creating data-driven transition scenarios (scenario-building), empowering cities to use better data / data better
3. De-risking investments, through value-based financial and partnership models (investment and partnership building)

Innovation Cycle 3: Investment and Partnership Building
In Innovation Cycle 3, Global Infrastructure Basel (GIB) Foundation guides the cities in the development of investment models that can finance their ambitions. The process aims to take a holistic approach and to de-risk investments enabling the cities to document and capture different values in their complex urban systems.
