The InSMART project — financed by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme for research, technological development and demonstration — used an integrated approach and sophisticated tools for developing municipal energy plans in 4 cities of the EU: Nottingham in the UK, Cesena in Italy, Évora in Portugal and Trikala in Greece.

Rocco De Miglio and Alessandro Chiodi will introduce their novel step by step approach for developing city plans, starting from (1) involving relevant stakeholders and analysing future building and transportation needs, to (2) using GIS tools and Times model for scenario analysis, and finally (3) discussing the project results with local politicians.

Rocco and Alessandro will also highlight advantages of their bottom-up approach driven by urban specific needs and integrated with the urban planning vis-à-vis top-down methodologies utilized by other initiatives.

The webinar will be held in English language, from 14:00 to 15:00 CET. Participation is free. To register, please write an e-mail to tmorante@rec.org.
