City-zen in few words

English version :

A city free of fossil fuels. City-zen shows you how it’s done

A city operating entirely on clean energy.  Sun, wind, biomass or geothermal heat… in theory it’s possible. But what about real life? How do we integrate new energy solutions in existing buildings, systems and, last but not least, the lives of people? What are the technical, economic or social barriers? And how do we overcome these? That is what the international consortium City-zen is learning-by-doing in 20 innovative projects in Grenoble and Amsterdam.
