INTENSSS PA: pianificazione territoriale integrata alla sostenibilità energetica e socio-economica

The INTENSSS PA project, funded by Horizon 2020, the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation of the European Union, aims to support the local authorities involved and their stakeholders to develop an innovative integrated socio-economically and energy sustainable spatial planning concept through a participatory, interdisciplinary and multilevel process. By building individual and institutional capacity of the actors involved, using the Regional Living Lab approach, the concept will be applied in order to develop seven sustainable integrated energy plans, one for each of the seven European countries involved in the project. An important target to achieve is to communicate the project results outside the group of countries where the 17 partners are based. In this article the project activities and the results achieved so far are described anticipating a more extensive and detailed publication already planned for the second semester of 2018 on some relevant international journals. Furthermore, in April 20th the research project results will be presented and discussed within the international conference “Research, Technics & Planning” that CeNSU organized in Turin on the topic of Water Sensitive Urban Planning.
