ENERGY TRANSITION IN CITIES The road to nearly zero-‐energy cities
10th IMAGINE Seminar

IMAGINE seminar 2014 ENERGY TRANSITION IN CITIES
On the road to nearly zero-energy cities
Setting
Two days to think ahead
The IMAGINE seminar gathers Energy Cities’ members and representatives of key public, private and associative stakeholders.
Participants from various disciplines and positions are invited to share their visions of the cities of the future and their reflexions on the transition towards low-‐energy cities, while the city of Dobrich sets the scene for a real-‐life case study.
Objectives
Focus The 10th IMAGINE seminar will focus on efforts to maximize the energy independence of human settlements. Nearly zero-‐energy buildings are the most powerful but also the most affordable means towards the zero-‐energy city. Overcoming mistrust and prejudices to the “unaffordable” cost of the transition to nearly zero-‐energy buildings is a fundamental task of current days. Participating cities will share experiences and ideas on how they could shorten the path to their energy independence and what might be the role of buildings in these efforts.
Local key actors
Knowing resources and flows
Rethinking finance
New local governance
Urban planning
Background
IMAGINE The IMAGINE initiative looks back at more than seven years of foresight oriented work focussing on the links between Energy and Territorial Cohesion. IMAGINE relies on the contribution of diverse stakeholders directly or indirectly involved in local energy issues and based on the observation of actual practices and processes in an increasing number of local authorities. IMAGINE allows for these stakeholders to exchange their perspectives and long-‐term visions to shape cities of the future with imaginative low-‐energy solutions. From this dialogue, a concept of low energy cities with a high quality of life for all has emerged, as a challenge for a sustainable energy future.
IMAGINE foresight work is based on collaborative and participative methods. The energy transition needs the involvement of many different stakeholders that need to envision something that does not yet exist. This participative process, in itself, is essential.
Proposition Low-energy cities with a high quality of life for all This concept is proposed by Energy Cities as a model for the city of the future. It requires that one has to take a careful look at the transition path leading to change. Transformations will have to take place in the very nature of the cities’ organisation. At the same time, changes in values and ways of life will be a necessity and a condition. New modes of governance and decision-‐making will mean more dialogue, social innovation, stakeholder involvement. Democracy and politics are the driving force of the energy choices of the future and need to be disconnected from technological choices.
The 10th IMAGINE seminar will contribute to a better understanding of the way and the means of achieving energy independence of the cities and the importance of nearly zero-‐energy buildings on the road. Overcoming mistrust and misconceptions is an important condition for the success of these efforts.

Partner City Dobrich "... And who knows, maybe because the region was four times "released", inhabitants naturally came to the adult freedom that naturally prompts their collective historical subconscious free to tribute the honor... The Dobrich tribute combines recognition with charity and therefore near deservedly illustrious place undue forgotten. Because of this difference this small town to the very edge of Europe is a European city ... "
