7th SMART HERITAGE CITIES WG: “Heritage cities’ energy transformation: lessons and experiences on legal and regulatory restrictions, new technological solutions and digitalisation”

EURADA, together with POCITYF partners are organizing the 7th working group meeting entitled “Heritage cities’ energy transformation: lessons and experiences on legal and regulatory restrictions, new technological solutions and digitalisation” which will take place as an in-person/hybrid event in the framework of the Smart and Sustainable Planning for Cities and Regions Conference held in Bolzano, Italy on 21 July from 9:00 to 13:00 CET.

This meeting will dig into the challenging issues that heritage cities face in transforming and adapting their historic and protected sites to carve a positive energy future.

This event will be divided into 2 main parts:

  • A roundtable that will feature keynote speakers like Ceciel Nieuwenhout and Laia Guitart Caritg who will further explain the legal/regulatory framework for sustainable cities and positive energy districts and Niels Sijpheer who will focus on the process of the social, legislative and technical preparation in the Dutch context.
  • A world café section that will have the presence of Andreas Jaeger (ICLEI) who will first provide an overview of common neighbourhood-level scheme features, identifying successes as well as challenges encountered and highlighting good replicable practices across Europe. Afterwards, participants will have the choice to join a table moderated by either Andreas or other POCITYF ogranisers to elaborate more on sub-questions related to the topic.
