Abstract

Wind energy is not the first form of renewable energy for cities to come to mind. Only few towns and cities have enough space to build large wind farms on their territories. Small-scale wind power facilities are more common in towns and cities that initially conducted feasibility studies. The city of Bologna has recently taken part in a large wind farm project, located on the slopes of Monte Galletto, about 20 kilometres from the city. The project is based on a partnership between the municipality and local stakeholders.
