Ele.C.Tra in URBAN-LEDS staff exchange

For the final Urban-LEDS staff exchange, a representative of the city of Thane (India) visited Zagreb (Croatia) from 7-11 March 2016 to exchange knowledge and experience with his Croatian peers with a view to gathering new ideas and strategies for spurring on low carbon development in Thane.

Sanjeev Jaiswal, Thane’s administrative head, set out for Zagreb with a number of areas where new input could particularly benefit his home city, the first of these being energy management and citizen engagement.

City staff provided examples of energy management in practice to demonstrate how Zagreb engages citizens and stakeholders and deals with energy management in the city. As a second objective, Thane aimed to find out about energy efficiency with a particular focus on sustainable urban mobility. The City Office for Energy, Environment and Sustainable Development and Zagrebacki holding d.o.o. demonstrated how Zagreb deals with transport at a local, national and European level with reference to Mobility Week in Croatia, Central European Green Corridors, charging stations for electric cars and the Ele.C.Tra Project.
