Energy Potential Mapping: Open Data in Support of Urban Transition Planning
Cities play a key role in driving the transition to sustainable energy. Urban areas represent
between 60% and 80% of global energy consumption and are a significant source of CO2 emissions,
making energy management at the urban scale an important area of research. Urban energy systems
have a strong influence on the environment, economy, social dimensions and urban spatial
planning. Energy consumption affects the urban microclimate, urban comfort, human health, and
