The Municipality of Thessaloniki recognises the global challenges and the role of cities to act proactively to mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis and implement strong approaches to address current and future challenges.

 

The city’s main challenge is to rapidly adapt sustainable systemic changes including redesigning and delivering urban infrastructures and services that enhance citizen’s participation, connectivity and community, shape a thriving and sustainable city, build a dynamic urban economy, become responsive and support climate resilience and disaster management. Tremendous opportunities for the city to be improved, advanced, and maintain its contribution to the goals of sustainable development lie also in the utilization of big data computing and the underpinning technologies, and in the implementation of their novel applications
