    On the other hand, renewable energy production can take place at a range of scales. They are more compatible with urban conditions and more flexible with spatial ap-plication than fossil fuel based energy production. Their distributed production pattern could take advantage of microgrid, a more efficient, resilient distribution

    Everyone could be energy producer!

  • ENERGY CONSUMPTIONURBAN

    ENERGY PRODUCTIONRURAL

    Given the distributed nature of renewables, current cities, which are solely energy consumers, are facing both the challenge and the opportunity of accommodating en-ergy production within their footprints.

    Logic of energy production and distribution will start having a significant impact on the spatial organization on the urban growth. This project, therefore, explores the morphology of resilient post-fossil cities across three scales: redefining ur-ban boundaries and urban clusters, energy infrastructure framework and a new set of urban codes

    Scenario 1Every block produce exactly X% local energy

    Scenario 2Blocks collaborateto achieve x% local energywithin an urban cell scale

    A policy of inter-block energy balancing allows different degrees of flexibility in the city in order to adapt to the market economy. New patterns of energy specialization arise, defining the blocks that are more prone to production and the ones that are more prone to consumption. Through a system of energy trading a cluster meets its overall energy pro-duction target through the compensation among the different blocks and the creation of additional energy sources within the green corridors.
