HEAVEN stands for a Healthier Environment through the Abatement of Vehicle Emissions and Noise and is a RTD project of the Information Society Technologies (IST) Programme. This project lasted for a period of three years (2000-2003) and addressed a common environmental problem: increasing traffic levels in large urban areas.

HEAVEN's main goal was to strengthen urban environment and transport management, based on better access to air and noise pollution information. It also improved co-operation among key environment, transport, and health actors, and increased the transparency of city governments through better citizen access to environmental information.

The HEAVEN project was successfully concluded in May 2003. Further information on the project and its results as well as all reports can be obtained from this website.

Although the HEAVEN project finished in spring 2003 a considerable number of people refer to the HEAVEN products and download reports from the HEAVEN website. For further information you may also contact:
