The aim of this book is to highlight the great potential of
decentralized (i.e. local or urban) energy policies in achieving
environmentally-benign developments for modern cities. Urban
sustainability is placed in the context of the debate on global
sustainable development. A wide array of policy initiatives is
discussed and evaluated, ranging from market-based energy policies
to technological innovation policies for the energy sector. A
theoretical framework for technology adoption processes is
developed and empirically tested. The main question addressed is:
which are the critical success factors for successful urban energy
policies? This question is also dealt with in a meta-analytic
context by assessing and comparing the performance of energy
policies in various European cities, with a particular view to
renewable energy.
