Smart Cities and Sustainable Urban Regeneration

2.2.2. MAtchUP: Antalya Kepez-Santral Smart Urban Regeneration Project

There are 8 countries and 28 project partners in the MAtchUP Project,
which is supported within the scope of the EU Horizon 2020 Smart Cities and
Communities Program and covers the pilot cities of Antalya, Valencia and
Dresden (Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, 2017). The aim of the Project is
to carry out the smart city practices with 42 different actions in three pilot
cities. The Turkish consortium involves Antalya Metropolitan Municipality,
ANTEPE, Akdeniz University, Demir Enerji, SAMPAŞ and TAYSİM. The Project
targets include “less energy, more solutions”; “smart solutions, better
transportation”; “connected cities, livability”; and “smart city, city of people”
(Antalya Metropolitan Municipality, 2017). The practices planned to be
implemented in line with these targets are compiled in Table 2.
