The general objectives assumed by the strategic programme comprise mainly the production of new knowledge in all scientific areas contributing to the S4Cities vision, namely a sustainable, smart and safe built environment, including all infrastructures, providing a steady improvement of quality of life. This general objective will be formulated and constructed over this period in close proximity with all decision makers, enterprises and municipal authorities.
In order to follow the impact of the application of any new and innovative approach under the S4cities vision, an Observatory for the Quality of Life in Cities will be promoted, together with city authorities and managers, so as it will be possible to push research and innovation to other frontiers in the next research period.
