The European cooperation project POLIS : Solar energy for cities

by Claire Iochum on 16 février 2011 / 333 visites

POLIS is a European cooperation project that focuses on implementing strategic town planning and local policy measures to utilize the solar energy capability of structures in European cities.

Only a strategic approach by the municipality can enhance the expanding integration of small-scale, decentralized energy applications into the built environment.
The aim of the project is to identify and evaluate current practices in solar urban planning, and unite the key responsible parties of this process to create a more cohesive planning and legislation practice for solar developments. To ensure the viability solar energy for new structures in the urban environment, certain requirements need to be included in development planning and building legislation. Several instruments are available to promote solar energy such as municipal agreements or private law commitments.
Six cities are cooperating together within this framework : Paris, Lyon, Munich, Lisbon, Vitoria-Gasteiz and Malmö. They will all implement action plans and pilot actions in order to develop local solar urban planning.
