PED-ACT is centered on optimizing processes to facilitate improved collaboration among stakeholders and strengthen decision-making. It contributes to standardizing the database of existing Planned, Designed, or Implemented Environmental Demonstrators (PEDs), with a specific focus on Sweden, Turkey, and Austria.

Furthermore, PED-ACT utilizes insights from this database to generate digital PED references by identifying and mapping the needs and priorities of stakeholders in cities such as Borlänge and Umeå in Sweden, Ankara and Karşıyaka in Turkey, and the county of Lower Austria. The project aims to foster bilateral learning and co-design strategies among these diverse cities to facilitate widespread replication of PEDs, ultimately advancing goals related to climate neutrality and the development of smart cities.
