Portraits of
PED experiments

What do actual PEDs look like? This
chapter illustrates the directions that PEDs can
take, through six illustrated Portraits of very
different neighbourhoods in as many countries.
They are a sample of the first generation of districts
across Europe that aim to become Positive
Energy Districts. The selected neighbourhoods
may have similarities, but they mostly provide
complementary insights and breakthroughs on
initiating a PED. These six experiments exemplify
the five dimensions of PEDs we elaborated in
the general introduction of this resource.
