The tool will be enhanced to meet the needs of group decision making, coping with uncertainty and citizen's involvement through internet application. The partners have experience of testing a number of client defined policies in their test cities. They have also experience of more general and theoretical policy testing approaches. This experience indicates the way towards sustainable urban policies. Potential policy options are also defined using the external and national networks of the project.
Special emphasis is on policies, which have been implemented with success in Europe.
Based on the results of previous tests also general rules have been formulated which will help in identifying potential policy options and their combinations. Part of the tests are the same for all test cities. However, as every city is individual the best policy combinations are likely to differ. This is why optimum policy combinations are sought also separately for each city. The system and expected results are described in more detail in the following sections.
