DISCO Project

It is clear: increasing greenhouse emissions represent one of the most significant global challenges we face today - and the way we deliver our goods and move around the city plays a massive role in this. In comes our uniquely named project DISCO, funded by the Horizon Europe programme, which aims to support cities in undertaking the digital transformation of urban logistics and sustainable planning and to optimally manage urban space. What does DISCO stand for? ‘Data-driven, Integrated, Syncromodal, Collaborative and Optimised urban freight meta-model for a new generation of urban logistics and planning with data sharing at European Living Labs’. But do not let the long name scare you! Our aim is simple: we wish to support the EU mission cities to achieve their climate goals by 2030, letting our living spaces breathe new life away from air pollutants. How? DISCO will drive EU Cities towards Physical Internet by demonstrating 23 flagship solutions on optimal and flexible use of urban space for logistics in 8 European Living Labs, including: ● Copenhagen (DK) ● Ghent (BE) ● Thessaloniki (EL) ● Helsinki (FI) ● Padua (IT), ● and a Spanish Cluster consisting of Barcelona, Valencia, and Zaragoza (ES). But that is not all! 4 Follower Cities also join the projects, and they are: ● Prague (CZ) ● Piacenza (IT) ● Aarhus (DK) ● North Hesse (DE) We will do this over the course of 42 months, with a consortium consisting of a whooping 47 partners!
