During the last year of CASCADE, the reach of the project was extended to the regional and national levels. CASCADE cities demonstrated their leadership in energy practice through ‘peer advice’ to neighbouring cities and in the organisation of national technical seminars.
An 37 additional cities received support through the peer advice visits: Angers, Breda, Brest, Botkyrka, Cinisello Balsamo, Durham, Espoo, Hartlepool, Helmond, Galatsi, Glasgow, Middlesbrough, Langreo, Ludwigshafen, Mataro, Mieres, Mira, La Spezia, Pavia, Płock, Pruszków, Rennes, Rotterdam, Rubi, San Donà di Piave, Savona, Solna, St Nazaire, Stara Zagora, Stirling, Stockton On Tees, Telford, Turku, Utrecht, Yambol, Viernheim, Worcester.
In addition, 11 national technical seminars were held in the countries represented by CASCADE’s partner cities. Eleven cities (Amaroussion, Amsterdam, Birmingham, Burgas, Genoa, Gijon, Mannheim, Nantes, Stockholm, Tampere and Warsaw) led the organisation of the national technical seminars.
