Ghent is Belgium’s third largest city, with a rich history, vibrant city life and a port. Ghent wants to be fossil-free and climate-neutral by 2050. The city, together with other partners such as Ghent University, is developing a holistic and inclusive transition strategy and seeks to launch and spread technical and social innovations through pilot projects. The Muide-Meulestede district is experimenting with transition initiatives to become a climate-neutral and resilient district. In Muide-Meulestede, a district heating network is being designed to heat homes in the district with RES and solar installations on nearby rooftops. The feasibility of this PCED project should be considered from technical, spatial, economic and social perspectives (renovation needs, district heating optimalisation, organizing and involving residents and key actors, district heating system and its procurement, etc.). The CN Lab will develop and evaluate different approaches and organization models.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
