Description of the concept
Please provide a summary of your concept.
The project comprehensively presents to the general public the topics of sustainable development, which are applied to the city. The concept responds to this and its influence can be worldwide. The ideas are very general, for public education. It can be another catalyst for changing people's thinking. Don't see things as a problem, but an opportunity. We define a city as a living organism, made up of various organs = initiators that are interconnected. Everyone can influence the life of their city for the better from their own position. For the initiators, we present advice and tips on what to do. Furthermore, we open up ideas that are supposed to make the public think and how to look at things differently. Everyone can find their part in the project for enlightenment.

Please give information about the key objectives of your concept in terms of sustainability and how these have been met. Please highlight how the concept can be exemplary in this context.
The concept represents the elements of a sustainable city. Create conditions and potentials. To build on the sharing and synergy of aspects and initiators. The concept of tips and advice can be applied to parts of the city, companies or businesses. For example, a city can apply the concept as a path for its future development.

Please give information about the key objectives of your concept in terms of aesthetics and quality of experience for people (through design, positive emotions and cultural benefits) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the concept can be exemplary in this context.
The concept of a sustainable city can aesthetically influence the form of architecture. An example is the solution of overheating cities and heat islands. Which is the application of greenery, shading, green roofs. Another point is to think about the functional and energetic adaptation of historical buildings and brownfields. The important thing is to think about waste and resources. Waste will one day form the dominant source of materials for production. The new material mix offers a new aesthetic interpretation.

Please give information about the key objectives of your concept in terms of inclusion (ranging from accessibility and affordability for all to inclusive governing systems, design for all principles or new societal models) and how these have been met. Please highlight how the concept can be exemplary in this context.
The whole concept is focused on sharing, cooperation and social overlap. We show how everyone can influence the development of the city with their expertise or initiative to improve life and society in it. We only give tips and advice on what to do and how to perceive things. Everyone can develop them further and bring news.

Please explain the way citizens benefiting from or affected by the concept and civil society have been / will be involved in the concept and what has been / will be the impact of this involvement on the concept.
The concept is primarily created for the public. Encouraging education and participation. Every person can participate in the design and development of the city. Convey your experiences, knowledge and feelings. He cannot understand every place as well as the people who have lived there for years. We can draw from them as experts. In return, we can give the public simple insights on how to think about things or give tips and advice on how to improve our places or stimulate energy, frugality and society.

Please explain how different stakeholders at various levels (local, regional, national, European) were engaged in the design and development of the concept. Please highlight what the added value of their engagement was
It is a synergy of architecture, urban planning, energy and sociology. Anyone can participate in the concept. All layers can interact with each other from the position of the city initiator. These are the public, transport, authorities, developers, gastro, event organizers. According to the concept, architects can design, the city can make it the path of its development. Operators will think about saving resources. Developers will think more about a vibrant beautiful city than financial gain. As an architecture teacher, I can teach the concept at a university, and architects will take sustainable architecture as architecture, not as an alternative lifestyle.

Please explain which disciplines and / or knowledge fields were reflected in the design and development of your concept. Please explain how representatives of these different fields interacted with each other, and what the added value of this process was
