D5.4 Developing and Fitting SUPERSHINE Blueprints to Fellow Cities- Part 2

The purpose of this document is to present the continued development and refinement ofthe Bottom-up Development and Fit of SUPERSHINE Blueprints, building upon thefoundations established in Part 11. While the previous stage focused on defining theconceptual framework and identifying the “ready-to-go” solutions from the SUPERSHINElighthouse districts, this second part advances the work by integrating the findings, analysesand co-creation outcomes emerging from the follower cities (FCs).Drawing on the “ready-to-implement” projects from the lighthouse districts, it seeks tostrengthen replication potential and create Blueprints that act as comprehensive guides forthis transition. These Blueprints function as structured tools offering practical and adaptablestrategies that combine technology, business models, lifecycle assessments (LCA, LCC,and SLCA), and co-creation approaches to enhance societal acceptance. Their purpose isto guarantee that proposed solutions are not only technically sound and environmentallysustainable, but also socially inclusive and economically practical.By bringing together insights and methodologies from WP’s and Tasks and aligning themwith the characteristics of the FCs, this deliverable provides a basis for developing practicaland flexible strategies that can assist cities in addressing challenges of affordability, policyalignment, and community engagement. In doing so, it contributes to the overarchingobjectives of the SUPERSHINE project in fostering a more inclusive, sustainable, andcontext-sensitive transition to climate-neutral public, cooperative, and social housing.In this context, it is pertinent to mention the European Affordable Housing Initiative, acollaboration of five key partners led by Housing Europe and co-funded by the EU, and thepoint for reference for EU’s first Affordable Housing Plan, a Just Renovation Wave and theNew European Bauhaus. In its first phase (SHAPE EU 2022-2024), the initiative developedBlueprints for a just energy transition and supported 22 districts with mentorship, financialadvice and capacity building2. The initiative has now entered its second phase (SHAPE II2024-26), which goes beyond retrofitting and energy efficiency, embracing broader valuessuch as resilience, livability and circular economy principles.
