Reducing energy consumption, upgrading public infrastructure and strengthening local energy independence have become increasingly important priorities, particularly in the context of current geopolitical and economic challenges.

The city is working to improve energy efficiency in buildings and public services, expand sustainable mobility options and modernise heating and utility systems. Green spaces, water management and environmental quality are also important areas of focus, helping the city respond to both climate impacts and everyday urban needs.
