Urban development best practices
In 2007, the north Danish city of Frederikshavn set itself the ambitious goal of becoming the first European city to rely solely on renewable energy - and to achieve this by 2015. The pioneering Energibyen (‘Energy City’) initiative aims to create a 100% renewable energy system by tapping multiple energy sources rather than only one. It will offer green growth opportunities which are expected to have a significant positive impact on the city’s economic attractiveness and development. Case study
