This catalogue is created based on project examples submitted by Nordic and Baltic cities as part of the Urban Climate Adaptation in the Nordics (UCAN) project. The collection of case studies, which vary in style and length, showcases examples of public space and street transformation projects in Nordic and Baltic cities that have also contributed to climate adaptation. The graphics were created as part of the “Transform your street!” youth contest, while the policy recommendations are based on a workshop held in Copenhagen on 22 March 2023.

The UCAN project has been co-funded by the Nordic Working Group for Climate and Air (NKL) under the auspices of the Nordic Council of Ministers. The Nordic Vision is to become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030. The co-operation with the Nordic Council of Ministers must support this purpose. This project supports the vision of green transition and Nordic solutions within the areas of climate neutrality and climate adaptation.

The work was delivered by EIT Urban Mobility, an initiative of the European Institute of Innovation and Technology (EIT), a body of the European Union, and Europe’s largest innovation community for urban mobility. Our mission is to accelerate change towards a sustainable model of urban mobility and liveable urban spaces. We connect public and private actors and provide them with access to markets, talent, finance and knowledge.
