The initiative is in line with the EU strategy on adaptation to climate change and, in the framework of the European Union's Environment and Climate Action Programme (LIFE), based on the premise "Living well, respecting the limits of our planet". In this regard, if all expectations are met, the intention is to extend the project to another 15 heritage cities in Spain and 40 in the rest of Europe.

Salamanca is committed to becoming a Smart City

The premise of smart cities is sustainability and improving our environment. With LIFE Via de la Plata we want to preserve the historic centres of world heritage cities such as Salamanca, while establishing the technical and methodological foundations for the construction of urban green infrastructure in the town.

 

A project coordinated by the Municipal Housing and Urban Planning Board of the Salamanca Town Council, co-financed by the European Commission and involving the University of Salamanca, the University of the Basque Country (UPV-EHU) and the Salamanca Town Council.

The BISITE research group works towards the development of smart cities. Therefore, in addition to participating in projects such as this one, we promote the training of specialists with our Master's Degree in Smart Cities at the University of Salamanca, in order to train professionals capable of directing and coordinating smart city projects.
