ClairCity ClairCity will Citizen-led air pollution reduction in cities model citizens’ behaviour and activities to enrich public engagement with city, national and EU level policy-making air quality, carbon emissions and health. about The resulting policy scenarios will allow cities to work towards improved air quality, reduced carbon emissions, improved public health outcomes and greater citizen awareness. Welcome to ClairCity Since our beginning in May 2016, the project consortium of 16 partners across ten European countries have been working hard on the innovative data modelling, best practice public engagement and creative game and app development that are at the heart of ClairCity. Much progress has been made since our last newsletter in January, and we are proud to share our updates, successes and learning so far. In this edition you can find a report of our first annual conference, learn out about engagement activities in Bristol, initial findings from our policy team, an insight into our regional partner in Italy, background on some of our team members and more. This autumn we look forward to rolling out engagement activities across our other five pilot cities and regions, as well as seeing the first tests of our game and app. Our quantitative modelling of scenarios that can be applied across European towns and cities - as well as internationally - is at the heart of the project’s bright future, and we are excited to share more on these topics in the next edition of the newsletter in early 2018. In the meantime, if you have any questions or comments about our work or our future plans, don’t hesitate to get in touch.
