In Viladecans City Council we have more than 20 years of experience in management of European projects, with participation in more than 30 projects from different fields. Among the most relevant are the USEACt / Urbact, Progress, Euronet 50/50 and cRRescendo projects.

Program for the exchange of good practices for the sustainable development of cities, with the participation of more than 500 European cities.

One of the projects that it includes is USEAct, where Viladecans was participating with 9 other cities and regions of Italy, Romania, Spain, United Kingdom, Ireland, Slovakia, Norway and Latvia.

In this project we have studied how the building ‘Poligon Centre’ could be changed in order to become more sustainable and competitive.

It encourages the exchange of good practices to restructure key economic sectors such as automotive, industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, transportation industry and motion systems. It aims to create networks and collect best practices.

It is an European project that encourages energy saving in public buildings by the application of good practices in the use and management of energy. The methodology used is 50/50, which consists of introducing economic incentives to the energy savings achieved. The City council (who is in charge of covering these bills) and the equipment sign a commitment where the city council commits to return 50% of the economic savings achieved and the equipment is responsible for applying a set of good practices and lead the project.

It is a project that defines renewable energy strategies in cities to guarantee an optimal quality of life. It aims to improve sustainability in thousands of dwellings in the metropolitan areas of Almere, Milton Keynes, Viladecans and Ajaccio.
