Pol4PED

PEDs are crucial for urban decarbonisation, yet their complex techno-socio-economic nature means widespread adoption remains challenging. To address this, the Pol4PED project designs targeted policy mixes, tailored to diverse European urban contexts, specifically focusing on existing districts and regeneration. A comprehensive toolbox will be developed using a platform-based design approach, integrating techno- and socio-economic models to ensure policy designs account for technical, economic, legal, and social aspects. Case studies in Zurich, Vienna, and Groningen will inform these designs. The project aims to identify best practices and accelerate sustainable urban energy transitions, demonstrating policy's critical role in achieving sustainable urban development.
