Mission
The European Green Cities Network (EGCN) was started up in 1996 in connection to EU Thermie project European Green Cities – as a forum for
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.
