Cities of Our Future

“City Projects” invites you on a journey through cities that have skillfully started to weave Solarpunk principles into their urban fabric. These principles encompass sustainable energy, smart mobility, green architecture, and eco-friendly living spaces. While the Solarpunk movement champions decentralization, it is often the large cities, with their robust legal, organizational and financial frameworks, that are equipped to spearhead scalable transformation projects. This positions them as crystallization points for the pioneering implementation of Solarpunk initiatives.
