Sustainability transition in cities

VTT & Hitachi – Guide for business leaders and city decision-makers

 

Cities are key players in sustainability. Their visions and strategies for a greener future open up opportunities and can create great impact with low cost. However, green projects are just well-intentioned dreams without adequate funding.

In order to make the dreams reality, we need to increase transparency with standardised key performance indicators and identify drivers and enablers of change. The projects also need platforms where potential investors and other stakeholders can meet and collaborate.

Making holistic and strategic decisions in complex smart city environment

VTT CityTune® is designed to develop unified KPIs and to model the complexity of cities in order to find the most effective projects and support decision-making.

Once the projects have been identified, a sustainable finance platform helps cities to find green funding by connecting potential investors with the projects.

The complex structure of cities adds to the challenge of making strategic decisions with high impact and low risk.

With machine-assisted decision-making like VTT CityTune® cities can

  • Reach better transparency
  • Anticipate future developments, test what-if scenarios in a modelling environment and gain valuable insight for strategic decisions
  • Compare trends and their impact with strategic goals
