Subscribe to NEUTRALPATH newsletter, a biannual update on our jouney towards a co-designed climate-neutral future for EU citizens
This issue focuses on how European cities are moving from experimentation to implementation of climate-neutral solutions. Through our latest journalistic article and two new podcast episodes, we explore key themes such as scaling Positive and Clean Energy Districts, affordable housing and sustainable urban mobility, highlighting concrete experiences from cities involved in the project.
A central highlight of this edition is the NEUTRALPATH City Alliance, supporting small and medium-sized cities in advancing their sustainable district initiatives. Building on the experience of NEUTRALPATH cities, the City Alliance promotes peer learning, capacity building and hands-on support, with a strong focus on governance, citizen engagement and locally driven transition processes.
We also look back at recent activities, including the NEUTRALPATH General Assembly in Ghent and our participation in a joint workshop on Positive Energy Districts innovation. Capacity building remains a cornerstone of the project, with a dedicated session of the NEUTRALPATH Capacity Building Programme focusing on innovative business models to support the long-term sustainability of PCEDs.
This newsletter also features new video interviews from the pilot cities of Dresden and Zaragoza, alongside voices from the follow cities Ghent, Istanbul and Vantaa, sharing practical experiences, lessons learned and future ambitions. Finally, we recap past events and present upcoming opportunities to engage with NEUTRALPATH and its growing community of cities.
