Urban Energy Transition

Peter Droege directs Liechtenstein Institute for Strategic Development, LISD, active in the transition to regenerative communities and regions. Professor Droege served as President of the European Association for Renewable Energy, Eurosolar, and Executive Chairman, World Council for Renewable Energy. He received the European Solar Prize in Education and initiated the Chair for Sustainable Spatial Development at the University of Liechtenstein, holding a Honorary Professorship at the University of Newcastle, Australia. Droege is co-founder of the Global Climate Geodesign Challenge evolved in the International Geodesign Collaboration with Esri. He taught at MIT, Tokyo University and the University of Sydney and has authored and edited books such as Intelligent Environments; Renewable City; Urban Energy Transition; Climate Design; 100-Percent Renewable; Regenerative Region; Regenerative Spaces; Cross-Border Life and Work; Urban Energy Transition 2; Intelligent Environments 2; and Urban and Regional Agriculture.
