EIT Climate-KIC is working with the city of Leuven on Vorm 3010, an initiative that invites citizens to participate in the design of safer and more sustainable spaces for the borough of Kessel-Lo. Leuven is one of 15 cities participating in the EIT Climate-KIC Deep Demonstration of Healthy, Clean Cities, a programme that aims to accelerate the transition of European cities towards carbon neutrality by 2030.
As the population grows in Kessel-Lo, the city is building more schools and houses, and traffic is increasing. At the same time, climate change is already making the summers hotter and drier, which brings a lot of challenges when it comes to mobility and climate resilience.
