City case description • Models cascade application: • Baseline • Common scenarios • Main conclusions Some final comments • The Old and Virtuous City (Scenario 3) seems to be the best choice, but it is linked to a shrinking and getting older citty. • The produced indicators allow a easy and practical analysis of the scenario results • MARKAL was used to generate baseline and also common scenarios allowing to test the technological, economical and energetic approach • This complex approach wasnot completely feasible for all the cities, due to several constraints (data availability, model specificity, ...) • Genoa,Lisbon and Thessalonikiare successful city-cases: the model cascade was applied for the baseline and for the 4 common scenarios
