In a strategic plan for the municipality, the town council of Valladolid , in Spain, has given top priority to the renovation of its heritage buildings to achieve nearly zero energy districts. In one of its neighbourhoods, called Cuatro de Marzo, such renovation has already started to happen. It has been pioneered by the company for land and housing, called VIVA—Sociedad Municipal de Suelo y Vivienda— and owned by the Valladolid municipality. It operates within the European project R2CITIES, whose aim is to develop and demonstrate strategies for designing and constructing nearly zero energy districts.
