Maira Valley (Piedmont): a territorial laboratory of a new mountain population 1 Maira Valley (Piedmont): a territorial laboratory of a new mountain population Giacomo Pettenati 1 The words of historian Luigi Zanzi, from Lombardy, effectively show how important it is to re-evaluate the relationship between mountain areas and people living there. The superficial idea according to which alpine societies and economies are marginal and underdeveloped compared to those of urban areas, lowlands and tourist centers is to be put aside. Just like what happened in French valleys a couple of decades ago, the new mountain peoples – those who Zanzi refers to – play an increasingly important role in Italian mountain areas. Their active approach towards the territory and its resources minimizes the effects of the decline in population.

    www.e2stormed.eu E²STORMED IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE URBAN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IN MEDITERRANEAN CITIES Valle Maira, 17th October 2014 Ignacio Andrés‐Doménech Universitat Politècnica de València SPAIN [email protected] www.e2stormed.eu E²STORMED IMPROVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN THE URBAN STORMWATER MANAGEMENT IN MEDITERRANEAN CITIES INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION Some facts • Energy is the 2nd largest municipal cost after labor costs. • Water and wastewater facilities are often the largest and most energy‐intensive loads owned and operated by local governments, representing up to 35% of municipal energy use. • Data on energy consumption in the urban water cycle is very scarce, so it’s very difficult for decision makers to incorporate it in their analysis. INTRODUCTION The E2Stormed project: origin • Involvement of 3 partners in previous projects for a better urban water management. • Weak knowledge in MED cities, where stormwater has been seen as a problem of waste and flood damage control. • Sustainable Drainge Systems (SuDS) as a more sustainable and energy efficient alternative for urban stormwater management. INTRODUCTION The E2Stormed project: objectives • Improve energy efficiency in the urban water cycle and in buildings by promoting the use of innovative storm water solutions such as Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) in Mediterranean cities. • Identify methods, public policies and exchange experiences to plan and set up “smart cities”initiatives. • Find out and overcome obstacles and barriers hindering cities to transition.
