ALTHEA is a European innovation project that aims to accelerate the transition of peri-urban areas towards climate neutrality. The project is based on the creation of “Transition Super Living Labs” (TSLLs), territories regarded as dynamic environments for experimenting with systemic change. Five TSLLs are involved (Antwerp-Rotterdam, the Milan metropolitan area, the Alicante-Elche area, the Epirus-Ioannina region and the Lisbon metropolitan area), together with three “replicator” sites (Copenhagen, Gdynia and Aachen). ALTHEA develops and implements 59 targeted interventions along four innovation axes: sustainable mobility, decarbonised energy systems, zero-pollution industry and cross-sector governance. The project develops 21 data-driven innovations that make up the ALTHEA Innovations Toolkit, a suite designed to optimise transport networks, decarbonise energy grids, improve governance structures and strengthen industrial sustainability, positioning peri-urban areas as key drivers of Europe's climate-neutral future.
