SiEUGreen - Deliverable 3.1 Requirement plans for each of the showcase locations

This deliverable presents the requirements for the deployment of the showcases of the project SiEUGreen. It elaborates the initial requirements that were established by the showcase leaders in the SiEUGreen kick-off meeting and proposes additional ones. The goal of the deliverable is to help the showcase leaders towards the effective and timely deployment of the showcases. Briefly the deliverable provides instructions and suggestions to showcase leaders as regards the establishment of the showcase vision, the deployment of the technologies, stakeholder and end-user engagement and other relevant issues. The deliverable is addressed primarily to the SiEUGreen showcase leaders (Changsha: HHEPSTI, Beijing: CAAS, Hatay: Hatay Municipality, Frederikstad: NMBU, Aarhus: Nordregio and Aarhus municipality) who are asked to read it thoroughly in order to provide input towards the development of the Common Implementation Framework (D3.2). Additionally the deliverable is addressed to the technology providers (NIBIO, NMBU) who are expected to collaborate with the showcase teams to help them meet the technical and regulatory requirements. Last, it is addressed to all the partners who are related to the showcase deployment (NORDREGIO, NIBIO, CREVIS, EMETRIS, HHEPSTI, OKYS, A-AQUA AS). The deliverable will be useful for the partners throughout the period of the deployment of the SiEUGreen showcases, as a guide on what needs to be accomplished. However, most of the requirements need to be met by the beginning of the showcase deployment or at the very early stages. The current deliverable is the first of WP3 and establishes the ground for the deployment of the showcases of SiEUGreen. It will be complemented by deliverable D3.2 “Common implementation framework”, which will present how the showcases are going to meet the requirements and elaborates a reporting methodology. Subsequent deliverable D3.3 “Midterm showcase deployment report” and D3.4 “Final showcase deployment report” will present the reporting from the showcases. Deliverable D3.5 “City benchmarking” will provide an assessment of the impact of each showcase and compare them with each other in a benchmarking exercise. Last (but earlier than D3.5) deliverable D3.6 “Commurban software delivery” will provide the app for the engagement of citizens with Urban Agriculture (UA) in the showcase locations
