Project aim
Support public authorities to integrate the energy theme into spatial planning and regional physical and socioeconomic landscapes. To achieve this objective INTENSSS-PA will provide human and institutional capacity building to public authorities and to the wider network of private and public actors related to energy and regional planning by implementing the Living Lab concept, i.e. an innovative environment of co-creation.
Project activities
– to organize in a systematic way and enhance where appropriate the available know-how, tools and experience on supporting the integration of energy into the physical (spatial) and socio-economic landscape, where connections and combinations can be made between existing land uses and energy production/savings/consumption that are beneficial for both the land use, the stakeholder groups involved in or affected by and energy sustainable development– that also “begs” for real local area-specific approaches;
– to develop, customize, assess and identify alternative institutionalization proposals of an interdisciplinary, participatory decision making structure for integrated energy-spatial-socioeconomic planning;
– provide human and institutional capacity building to authorities and actors (i.e. mainly public regional & local authorities and where appropriate private actors, associations and the community at large) through training and transfer of knowledge and experience from practice.
