Spanish Mission Cities must rapidly scale up deep energy renovation to meet 2030 climate targets. However, progress is hindered by fragmented efforts, regulatory complexity, limited financing, and governance misalignment. Building on the URBANEW pilot, this project unites six cities to co-develop integrated, city-wide missions that align local, regional, and national actors. By embedding social inclusion into urban regeneration, the project aims to mainstream large-scale building decarbonisation, foster citizen co-creation, and generate replicable models for systemic transformation across Europe.

Objectives

• Accelerate deep energy renovation across residential and public buildings
• Align governance, policy, and financing frameworks to enable systemic change
• Establish a Mission Cities Alliance for shared learning and replication
• Strengthen citizen participation in urban transformation
• Develop shared tools for impact measurement and adaptive decision- making
