They are still often seen as high‑profile showcase projects for large or wealthy cities. In reality, Positive Energy Districts are becoming a practical tool for municipalities of many sizes to reach climate targets, control energy costs and improve neighbourhoods. - [European experts join forces to drive Positive Energy Districts forward](https://4a4peds.eu/2026/02/25/european-experts-join-forces-to-drive-positive-energy-districts-forward/): Cities, researchers, and businesses from across Europe will soon connect virtually to advance the development of Positive Energy Districts (PEDs), the urban areas that generate more energy than they consume. - [New Project Video: What Does Energy Resilience Look Like in Action?](https://4a4peds.eu/2025/12/08/new-prowhat-does-energy-resilience-look-like-in-action/): We are proud to launch the official video of the 4A4PEDs – Towards Energy-Resilient Cities project!In 4A4PEDs, cities, citizens, researchers and companies work together to co-develop practical solutions for the energy transition in urban areas. The project’s work unfolds in Living Lab environments in Finland, Italy, the Netherlands, Germany and the Czech Republic.  - [Knowledge Exchange Webinar April 9th, 2026](https://4a4peds.eu/2025/11/27/event/): Date, time and place: Thursday 9 April, 2026.
