Work Packages
This EU Horizon 2020 Project was structured into 9 Work Packages (WP), the first four related to the four Pilot Cities, and the final five related to transversal issues such as impact assessment, dissemination and project management. On this page you will find a short description of each WP.

Work Package 1: Courtyards (patios) as eco-social builders in Córdoba
This work package is concerned with the promotion of Inclusive Health and Wellbeing in Córdoba, by taking advantage of its cultural heritage. It has sought to:
• Include all parts of society in Cordoba’s path towards sustainability and inclusive urban development;
• Reduce segregation and disconnection in the Las Palmeras neighbourhood;
• Remove barriers to inclusive health and well-being (high unemployment, low quality social housing, lack of green areas and recreational public spaces, and low educational standards);

Work Package 2: Agenskalns food hub in Riga
This work package is concerned with the promotion of Inclusive Health and Wellbeing in Riga, by examining how sustainable food systems and healthy lifestyles can interlink with cultural and social life, promoting health-conscious food habits. It has sought to:
• Provide opportunities for cultural life, physical activities and social life, particularly for families and young professionals;
• Enhance the area’s social desirability, removing the perception that Āgenskalns is insufficiently safe;
• Make the Āgenskalns neighbourhood of more interest to young families, making use of green areas for recreational zones;
• Ensure the local community is cohesive, welcoming students from abroad and professionals in creative industries without disrupting the social equilibrium.

Work Package 3: Human-animal city in Lucca
This work package is concerned with the promotion of Inclusive Health and Wellbeing in Lucca, by turning it into the first European city with an integrated Hum-An (human-animal) policy. It has sought to:
• Bring together the city centre inside the walls, where an older population lives, and the outside part of the city;
• Support cultural identity, intergenerational links, family management, and effective provision of services for the city's diverse social groups;
• Build on the pro-active social policies adopted by the municipality to help the Roma community in the more peripheral part of the city better connect with other parts of the population.

Work Package 4: Reversible Multifunctional Open-source Urban Landscape in Nitra
This work package is concerned with the promotion of Inclusive Health and Wellbeing in Nitra, by combining art and environment with social innovations to create multifunctional spaces with the aim of integrating economic migrants into the city’s social life. It has sought to:
• Ensure the economic activities and influx of foreign investors do not have negative effects on the city’s health and wellbeing;
• Improve living standards and quality of life for immigrant workers;
• Better integrate the industrial park’s immigrant workers into the community, preventing them from feeling isolated;
• Promote use of alternative modes of transport, such as cycling, by residents of Nitra and employees in the industrial park, reducing the perception that cycling is dangerous and ineffective.

Work Package 5: Citizen Engagement, Inclusive Business Models and PPPPs to Boost IHW
This work package is concerned with the engagement process of inhabitants and stakeholders in the four local PPPPs (public-private-people partnerships), in order to ensure an inclusive distribution of the benefits of the IN-HABIT project. It has been responsible for the following outcomes:
• GDEI Stakeholder Engagement Toolkit: A set of guidelines, methods and tools for the engagement of stakeholders in the PPPPs;
• Inclusive Transition Pathways: The multi-stakeholder participatory strategy aimed at leading the co-design and implementation of local projects;
• Guidelines and Lessons Learnt: The main guidelines and lessons learnt from the Inclusive Transition Pathways defined in each city.

Work Package 6: Enabling Behavioural Changes with a gender, diversity, equity and inclusion perspective (GDEI)
This work package is concerned with introducing a GDEI (Gender, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) perspective into all IN-HABIT solutions. Behavioural games are used to foster cooperation, reveal stereotypes, evaluate solutions, and promote behaviour change. It has sought to:
• Embed the GDEI perspective into the IN-HABIT Inclusive Transformation Plans and Inclusive Transition Pathways;
• Produce behaviour change among local inhabitants, with an emphasis on empowering local women as community leaders and active changemakers within the co-management of re-designed urban commons;
• Produce behaviour change among city planners by enhancing their competences and skills;
• Enhance scientific and public knowledge and debate around GDEI-based co-design and co-management of urban commons for IHW.

Work Package 7: Assessing the Impact of Visionary and Integrated Solutions (VIS) on IHW
This work package is dedicated to the impact assessment of the project, with specific regard to changes affecting Inclusive Health and Wellbeing (IHW) and groups at risk of discrimination. It has sought to:
• Isolate the changes which are at least in part attributable to the IN-HABIT solutions from those which are not due to the project;
• Measure the quality and quantity of this change compared to a baseline, in order to judge the success of the solutions in improving Inclusive Health and Wellbeing;
• Identify both expected and unexpected changes in people's health and wellbeing as a result of the solutions.

Work Package 8: Dissemination, Exploitation, Communication and Outreach Strategy (DECO)
This work package is concerned with the dissemination and communication strategy for IN-HABIT, co-defined and co-developed with project partners. It has sought to:
• Identify target groups and dissemination channels;
• Create a stronger network;
• Foster better information around the project's topics;
• Raise awareness.

Work Package 9: Project Management and Coordination
This work package is concerned with the overall management and coordination of the IN-HABIT project. It has sought to:
• Provide overall technical and scientific direction and drive the progress of the project, steering partners’ efforts towards the achievement of milestones and ensuring that work is undertaken with appropriate quality levels;
• Elaborate a project management handbook defining the rules of financial and administrative management, as well as the general procedures for deliverables and related project reports;
• Perform exhaustive progress monitoring to avoid deviations and facilitate project execution;
• Ensure that the project is not hampered by ethical issues and respects all relevant international and national regulations;
• Comply with Horizon 2020 rules in terms of financial and administrative requirements, and organise and participate in coordination meetings on a regular basis;
• Define clear Data Management and IPR policies allowing joint exploitation of results while avoiding conflicts among partners;
• Foster clustering and synergies with other complementary EU projects.
