dissemination of Sustainable Urban Housing initiatives and good examples etc.
The network will disseminate knowledge and experiences regarding sustainable urban housing technologies in order to:
- stimulate market development
- help speed up innovation
To reach full market effect for the solutions provided for efficient urban
housing regarding energy, resources, spatial planning, integration of renewables
into buildings, etc. there is an urgent need to disseminate latest best
available technologies and provide inspiration and information to all
stakeholders of the market, including architects, city officials, engineers,
building owners, tenants, etc.
The experience from the 11 demonstration projects in the European Green Cities project, as well as the demonstration projects under the Green
Housing Block and Green Solar Region are selected as the first projects to be
disseminated through the EGCN homepage.
Descriptions of the projects are located under the menu “demo projects for
inspiration”. All projects aim to start an urban ecology management process as
part of the European Green Cities cooperation.
Visit also the homepage of the
EHEN and PRESCO networks for further inspiration.
