NTNU Smart Sustainable Cities
NTNU Smart Sustainable Cities is a cross-disciplinary knowledge cluster of architects, planners, designers, artists, engineering, ICT, social and economic sciences. Together, we offer open urban innovation, co-creation and decision support for people-centric smart sustainable cities, supporting public and private sector as well as civic society with a unique merger of transformative, technological, artistic and practice-based research. With urban living labs, public-private partnerships and integrated design thinking, the initiative supports cities in their ambition to truly become cities for people, cities of culture, green cities, digital cities and learning cities – in short, truly smart and sustainable.

+CityxChange Final Conference in Trondheim 3-5 October 2023
We are honoured to have hosted the Final Conference of the +CityxChange project between October 3rd to 5th in various locations in Trondheim. We had participants from about 26 European cities and 9 projects, all coming together to explore innovative solutions for climate neutrality in urban spaces. It's amazing to see the passion and dedication of city leaders, innovators, and partners from all around Europe.
We extend our sincere appreciation to our partner cities who have been integral to this journey over the past 5 years: Alba Iulia, Limerick, Písek, Trondheim, Võru, Sestao, and Smolyan.
