Designing Positive Energy Districts through Gameplay.
Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are seen as one of the key urban transition pathways towards climate neutrality. The European Union has set out a vision of creating 100 PEDs in Europe by 2025.

PEDs seek to energize our neighborhoods with renewable resources and bring about positive impact on our cities in environmental, social and economic terms. In this workshop, participants will engage in a dialogue on PEDs and jointly create such districts via gameplay, amid various challenges and stakeholder perspectives.
