Feasibility Study for the Implementation of Energy Integrated Urban Planning (EIUP) in ASEAN Cities and of the Applicability of European Approaches (2004 - 2006)

The project was conducted under leadership of CENTRIC AUSTRIA INTERNATIONAL in team with Danish, Greek and Thai partners. The project involved ASEAN cities from
-- Indonesia: Bogor, Semarang, Surabaya
-- Lao PDR: Khammouane, Luang Prabang
-- Malaysia: Putra Jaya -- Philippines: San Fernando, Naga City
-- Thailand: Nonthaburi, Phuket, Tabsakae
-- Vietnam: Can Tho City
Three of these cities - Can Tho City, Naga City, Luang Prabang - were selected as host cities to prepare the integration of energy and environmental concerns in development planning by assessing the energy and environment profile and urban planning process and by studying the applicability of European best practices in the ASEAN context. In this regard, the action targeted urban planners in the selected host cities as well as urban planners in other selected cities in ASEAN through regional awareness building and dissemination activities. The energy and environment situation and characteristics and urban planning process in the three host cities were studied through site visits and field interviews with key stakeholders during the ensuing technical missions.
