Discover the new video introducing the IRIS project.

As we strive to become smarter, the daily reality can be quite different…

Infrastructure is struggling to keep up with demand. Air quality is associated with 500,000 premature deaths a year in Europe.

Climate change is multiplying heatwaves and citizens often feel left out of decisions that shape their daily lives.

IRIS is a collective of cities working to bridge this gap. Through technical, social, and digital innovations, they aim to make urban environments better places for citizens and the planet. Discover the five key areas of transition they are tackling – and the solutions showing real results. As they progress, they are making their insights available to ensure other European cities can become smarter, faster.
