The purpose of this report (Deliverable 4.1) is to provide guidance for the work on Deliverable 4.2 (D4.2). D4.2 will consist of six separate case study reports (or 'city reports', one for each of the 6 PLEEC cities) which will be conducted by different persons of the Work package 4‐team. Therefore it is important to have a joint framework, defining the relevant questions and issues which should be worked on. However, as the six cities are very different, the framework stays at a general level to allow different foci in each of the reports.

The report reviews relations between urban structure (spatial structure + institutional structure) and four core themes of urban energy:
•    Urban planning and energy use in buildings (mainly residential buildings)
•    Industrial energy use and urban form
•    Spatial Planning, Urban Form and Transport Energy Consumption
•    Urban energy generation

The reports ends with a summary of potential measures and policies of spatial planning in each of the four themes. However, we highlight also that it is crucial to consider the wider perspective and include considerations of potential rebound effects on direct and indirect energy use.
