Energy and Urban Innovation

Today, 50% of the world's population lives in cities and by 2030, this number will grow to over 60%.

Key concerns for the people leading cities include security, pollution, health, wealth and broader well-being for their citizens. These issues directly or indirectly link to energy and resource efficiency: transportation and traffic management, building heating and cooling, sanitation and waste management, and communication networks are among the key processes that determine the energy pattern of a city.

The World Energy Council, in the interest of our sustainable energy future, plays a constructive role through the facilitation of the best practices dialogue and the delivery of expertise to leaders, city planners, managers and leaders.
