A number of cities in Europe have implemented holistic projects in order to transform city districts to ecological sustainability. However, the projects have mostly ended as isolated cases not putting any stamps on the prevalent ways of working. The SECURE project aims at mainstreaming the ways of working in the demonstration projects from being unique actions to becoming the normal way of working.
A structured benchmarking will be made between different urban sustainable energy projects in order to gain knowledge on different important success factors. The experiences from earlier ecological transformation projects will be used in order to create long-term sustainable energy action plans. The plans will be produced in co-operation with different stakeholders in the cities. A number of long-reaching concepts such as "passive houses" and "a carbon neutral city" will be assessed and implemented in the cities in order to achieve sustainable energy systems with an increased share of energy from renewable sources, reduced energy consumption and reduced environmental impact.
SECURE is a horizontal project of the Intelligent Energy - Europe programme and is co-ordinated by the City of Malmö
