“Are cities paving the way out of the crisis?” asks the Spring edition of our magazine. The credit crunch is hitting local authorities hard. Tax revenue is down and social spending is up. Mayors and financial departments are struggling to balance their budgets. And now, on top of everything else, local authorities are being asked to reach and exceed the energy and climate objectives of the European Union, the much vaunted “3x20” by 2020!

Energie-Cités INFO shows how the creativity and foresightedness of our cities can be one way out of the crisis. Read the features, interviews and flash news from cities like Heerlen, Gabrovo, Växjö, Stuttgart and Besançon! They show that it is possible to stick to ambitious energy plans – despite the current situation!
