Building energy-efficient cities

An interesting project. As the population that lives in cities is increasing at a rapid pace, energy efficiency becomes a global and crucial theme for the future. Ursula Eicker, of the Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences, and Zerrin Yilmaz, of the Istanbul Technical University, are collaborating on a European research project, CITYNET, to help realise their shared vision for energy efficient cities. 


Efficient cities

I think it is important to keep an open mind, to consider a joint effort and support the development of the future! What we imagine today, become the place that we will inhabit tomorrow! :)
