CLEAN ENERGY TRANSITION FOR SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
The vision of succeeding in shaping sustainable cities is representing a fascinating matter, but a challenging one. This provoking issue is including several tasks, among others connected to available possibilities for assuring needed energy supply with minimum environmental impacts. Humanity innovative thinking way has always been driving the field of shaping more efficient energy supply systems with less environmental impacts, being always a debate regarding available energy resources. Conventional energy supply systems, especially based on fossil fuels, being since long applied on a global level, have demonstrated considerable impacts on environment, but also on society. Transition to clean energy resources is accordingly required as a base of succeeding in shaping sustainable cities. Renewable energy resources, as water, wind and solar one must be used in the future, a holistic analysis and assessment needed by Technology Assessment, simultaneously considering technical, economic, environmental, social, also political fields. To succeed assuring Sustainable Urban Development potential impacts of various developments must be analyzed and assessed. New innovative development strategies in energy field must be analyzed, as the newly adopted European Green Deal by the European Commission, what actually requires production processes with low environmental footprint, what is emphasized for a certain case in Romania, drawing corresponding conclusions.
