ENabling LARGE-scale adaptive integration of technology hubs to enhance community resilience through decentralized urban FWE nexus decision support

Developing sustainable future cities depends on the opportunities to optimally integrate and mobilize food, water and energy (FWE) resources in a synergistic way to reduce water, carbon, and ecological footprints, and increase the community resilience against challenges exacerbated by climate change, population growth, and resources depletion.

Through modelling of urban development scenarios and the use of decision support tools, we can better understand how community resilience in relation to natural and anthropogenic stresses can be strengthened by the optimal integration of FWE technology hubs at varying scales.

ENLARGE is a SUGI Project

About Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus
The Sustainable Urbanisation Global Initiative (SUGI)/Food-Water-Energy Nexus is a call jointly established by the Belmont Forum and the Joint Programming Initiative Urban Europe. The cooperation was established in order to bring together the fragmented research and expertise across the globe to find innovative new solutions to the Food-Water-Energy Nexus challenge.
