Feedback on the Energy Atlas Project

I would like to interview individuals who worked on the Energy Atlas project, as part of a graduate comparative research study on sustainable urban energy use. I am a visiting student from the University of Pittsburgh, here to explore the topic of Sustainable Cities until June 13. I want to learn more about how the public and private partners involved in the Energy Atlas collaborated to develop the final product, what value they have derived from it, and what insights they might share about the process in retrospect. I hope to share the knowledge and lessons acquired from launching the Energy Atlas in a policy journal publication, and communicate that information to Pittsburgh's municipal government, private utilities, and sustainability advocates who might benefit from similar initiatives. Feel free to respond here (or you may reach me at dillion.asher@pitt.edu), hope to hear from you!

Hi Nancy, thank you for your reply! I have a copy of this report, which has been very useful indeed! I am seeking further comments on partner's experiences as well, and of course info on any updates or revisions that might be planned for the Energy Atlas platform.

Hi Dillion, thanks for the question! The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences did an extensive research on smart city projects. From page 15 you'll find more about the Energy Atlas: https://amsterdamsmartcity.com/posts/organizing-smart-city-projects-lessons-learned-fr

In 1901, sixteen dairy farmers in the vicinity of Amsterdam, decided to establish the "Ilpenstein" cheese factory. My grandfather, Piet Nieuweboer, was one of the directors of the cooperative. The reason for collaboration within the cooperative? Cheesemaking traditionally takes place at the farm itself. The cheese factory made it possible to use innovative cheesemaking techniques. Even more important was the collaboration to improve the distribution and marketing of the cheese towards customers.

With the course "Biologisch Tuinieren in de Stad", we have trained almost two hundred new urban farmers in the city of Arnhem. Organic urban farmers with a food garden of half a square meter till half a hectare. It is a dream that these organic urban farmers, and others, will eventually find and learn from each other. Our initiative is the establishment and growth of the "Biologische Stadsboeren Coöperatie Arnhem Groen ". An organic urban farmers' cooperative focused on economic collaboration in a green Arnhem.
