About

Zaragoza City Council (Ayuntamiento de Zaragoza) is the public, democratic and constitutional institution of the City that promotes its improvement and stands close to the citizens. The Council manages the environment of the city and, through different actions, aims to improve its quality. Since 1998, when Horizon Strategic Plan 1998 - 2010 was approved and more recently through the Strategic Framework 2020, Zaragoza has adopted a far-sighted approach in its policies.

Moreover, Zaragoza is a member of numerous European Initiatives; it signed the Covenant of Mayors in 2011 and in 2012 approved its Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP). It is also one of the 20 signatories cities of the Green Digital Charter and is a full member of the EUROCITIES initiative. Zaragoza is part of non-demonstrator cities in Civitas and a member of the 'International Council for Local Environmental Initiative' (ICLEI).

Zaragoza City Council has more than 20 years of strategic planning experience that develops through Ebrópolis, an association they lead and whose founding partners are also the Government of Aragón, the Diputación de Zaragoza, companies, neighbourhood, financial entities and the University of Zaragoza.

Zaragoza City Council is responsible for preparing and conducting living lab demonstrations in Zaragoza, Spain.
