What are sustainable cities?

A sustainable city is a urban area that focuses on meeting the needs of its residents while minimising environmental impact and preserving resources for future generations. E.ON plays a big role in making sure people have the power they need for their homes and businesses. When we help create sustainable communities, it means we're helping to make neighbourhoods cleaner, healthier, and better for the environment. By focusing on sustainable practices, like using renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power, we can reduce pollution and make sure there's enough energy for everyone without harming the planet. This not only helps protect the environment but also ensures that future generations will have enough energy resources. We're not just helping the environment but also making things better for people and their future.
