The EU Mission on Climate Neutral and Smart Cities is an ambitious initiative aiming to involve a wide range of stakeholders and deliver 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. We analysed the information submitted in the expressions of interest by 362 candidate cities. The majority of the cities' strategies for climate neutrality include urban transport as a main sector and combine the introduction of new technologies with the promotion of public transport and active mobility. We combined the information from the EU Mission candidate cities with data from the CORDIS and TRIMIS databases, and applied a clustering algorithm to measure proximity to foci of H2020 funding. Our results suggest that preparedness for the EU Mission is correlated with research and innovation activities on transport and mobility. Horizon 2020 activities specific to transport and mobility significantly increased the likelihood of a city to be a candidate. Among the various transport technology research pathways, smart mobility appears to have a major role in the development of solutions for climate neutrality.
欧盟气候中和与智慧城市使命是一项雄心勃勃的倡议，旨在让广泛的利益相关者参与其中，并在2030年前打造100个气候中和与智慧城市。我们分析了362个候选城市在意向书中提交的信息。大多数城市的气候中和战略将城市交通作为主要领域，并将新技术的引入与公共交通及绿色出行的推广相结合。我们将欧盟使命候选城市的信息与来自CORDIS和TRIMIS数据库的数据相结合，并应用聚类算法来衡量与“地平线2020”计划资助重点的接近程度。我们的结果表明，对欧盟使命的准备情况与交通和出行方面的研究及创新活动相关。“地平线2020”计划中特定于交通和出行的活动显著增加了一个城市成为候选城市的可能性。在各种交通技术研究途径中，智慧出行似乎在气候中和解决方案的开发中发挥着重要作用。
