Global City Solutions Marketplace
| The Global Digital Marketplace has been set up to support cities, businesses and finance instituions to connect for designing and developing projects after completion of KPI evaluation. The U4SSC IP team is working to support all stakeholders in building this bridge. Through the marketplace, cities have a unique opportunity to engage with experts and solution providers to gain a better understanding of adequate solutions and financing opportunities. Cities promote projects through the platform as an open invitation for local and international providers to submit proposals for implementation. The program experts review and analyse project viability and develop project financing solutions through the City Investment Project Facility in support of the Digital Investment Marketplace.

Global City Simulation Tool
| Partnering with the Offshore Simulator Centre/Augment City in Norway, OiER is working on providing a new cutting-edge simulation technology to cities. OSC has developed software, Augmented Reality (AR) and predictive programs for simulators, which can be used to set up digital graphical twins of cities. The Global City Simulation Tool integrates data from all urban areas and sectors to offer a holistic visual understanding of city planning, integration of technologies and effects of decision-making.
By producing a Digital Twin City, simulations are able to test outcome scenarios before implementing them in real-life. It also provides real-time analysis to current city operations and activities. Trough visualisation and simulation, decision makers, stakeholders and citizens will have a tool for easier understanding the complex landscape of current situations, trends, alternatives and consequences before decisions are taken.

National U4SSC Programme Norway | The first national
U4SSC project, taking place in Norway, was announced during Green Standards
Week 2019. This comprehensive five year project supports the realization of the
Sustainable Development Goals in Norway, with a specific focus on goal 11:
“Making cities and human settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and
sustainable”. The U4SSC KPIs are used to evaluate and monitor progress across
multiple cities and regions in Norway, affording Norway a networked approach to
sustainable development where findings from the KPI evaluations are used to
identify solutions that correspond to opportunities shared across cities. By
benchmarking the cities using the same standard the project explores how actors,
activities and resources can be organised in order to accelerate the cities’
transition to smarter and more sustainable societies. Increasing both the speed
and accuracy of the transition represents an important contribution to other
cities implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.

Twin City Program
| The City Twinning Program is a platform to couple cities to exchange best practices and concrete strategies and activities related to the KPI evaluation, innovation and application of U4SSC IP tools to accelerate progress of SDG 11. Ten cities covering different development stages, sizes and regions will be invited to participate in the U4SSC IP City Twinning Program.
