Our story
The MED COLOURS consortium consists of a total of 11 partners from 7 different European regions:

MED COLOURS is an EU project co-funded by the Interreg Euro-MED programme. Launched in January 2024, COLOURS has a total duration of 33 months, during which it aims to scale up towards a new generation of logistics and urban planning to enable the transition to decarbonised and smart cities. By developing new SULPs, MED cities will plan resilient, sustainable, integrated and collaborative innovation-oriented solutions for FUAs.
