Integrated spatial and energy planning is more important than ever. Understanding the spatial dimensions of energy supply and consumption is essential to meeting international climate protection goals. Not only the individual building can be planned and realized in an energy-efficient way, but also entire settlements and respective spatial structures can contribute significantly to reducing energy consumption in the context of mixed use, settlement density, compactness and short distances. The same considerations can also be applied to site planning and securing the location of energy infrastructure (generation, distribution, storage).

Which areas are suitable for the provision of renewable energy sources, what challenges with other land uses may arise? What economic factors are crucial in phasing out the use of fossil energy reserves? How can opportunities, resulting from sustainable energy provision, be used for the development of urban and rural regions and their interrelations?
