This commitment is translated through objectives for energy sobriety and increased renewable energy production, as well as the development of sustainable modes of transport. In La Confluence, energy sobriety goes hand in hand with the sustainable consumption of natural resources. The challenge is also to limit the effects of climate change through adapted urban development. The aim of the urban project implemented in La Confluence is to build a city that is pleasant to live in. This requires urban planning that cares for plants, animals and humans. The challenge is to design and maintain sustainable urban living that gives nature its full rights.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thematic Area<\/strong> \u2013 Climate change mitigation<br \/>\n<strong>Thematic Sub-category &#8211;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sustainable M<\/li>\n<li>obility<\/li>\n<li>Urbanistica\nVerde legato al\nConsumo\nEnergetico<\/li>\n<li>Renewable &amp; Alternative Energy Sources<\/li>\n<li>Buildings &amp; environment<\/li>\n<li>Domini Di Citt\u00e0\nIntelligenti Per I\nCittadini Nelle Citt\u00e0\nVerdi<\/li>\n<li>SOLUZIONI E \nSTRUMENTI PER LE \nCITT\u00c0 INTELLIGENTI<\/li>\n<li>EFFICIENZA \nENERGETICA<\/li>\n<li>Green Urbanism related to improving social<br \/>\nrelations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Type of Actor\/Agent<\/strong> &#8211; Local Council.<br \/>\n<strong>Typology of Green Urban Site<\/strong> \u2013 Street and residential<br \/>\nproject.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Green City Elements:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mobility (Human-Powered, Multimodal, Electric and Alternative, Public Transport), Integrated Photovoltaics in Urban Environment, Energy (Efficiency in Urban Planning, Communities, Management Systems, Savings, Efficiency in Buildings), Solar Energy &#8211; Photovoltaics, Water ( Recovery and Reuse, Storage) , Sustainable Drainage Systems, Irrigation, Buildings and Climate Change, Shading facilities, Green areas and Heat Island Effect, Heatwaves, Extreme Cold, Flash Flood, Compost, Short Supply Chain, Cradle-to-cradle, Smart (People, Governance, Mobility, Environment, Living), Sensorization, Heating and Cooling<\/p>\n<p><strong>Engagement and Consultation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Target Groups<\/strong> &#8211; Citizens<br \/>\n<strong>Public Engagement<\/strong> &#8211; Was applied, proper public<br \/>\nengagement<\/p>\n<p><strong>Innovation and Impact:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In La Confluence, new builds and eco-renovated homes are equipped with tablets for monitoring energy usage, contributing to a Community Energy Management System (CEMS) that optimizes energy supply in the area and greater Lyon.
