Launching Conference Energy Cities
The launching conference for the programme “Energy Cities” took place on the 1st of July 2011 in Bucharest as part of the “Environment and Infrastructure” chapter of the Swiss Contribution. Mayors and energy managers of 45 cities with 45’000 to 350’000 inhabitants were invited to the event in order to be informed on the potential and benefits of sustainable energy management in cities.
Interested cities then had time until the 30 September 2011 to apply for participation in the Energy cities programme. More than 20 applications have been received and will be evaluated; up to four cities will be selected for participation.
