Municipalities as key actors in the heat transition to decarbonise buildings: Experiences from local planning and implementation in a learning context

Municipalities are key actors in planning and enabling the transition in the built environment to sustainable heat systems. Literature on the municipal experiences in the early phases of the heat transition is scarce. This paper addresses this gap by depicting the approaches of twenty-eight municipalities in the Netherlands.
