"Being attentive to the well-being of its citizens and the sustainable management of the environment, the City of Namur has launched three group purchasing organisations for energy, in collaboration with Wikipower, in order to offer citizens an effective solution to reduce their energy consumption and bills:
• A purchasing group for green electricity, gas and pellets;
• A purchasing group for solar thermal collectors;
• A purchasing group for insulation materials and work.
The aim of a group purchasing organisation is to bring together a large number of households in order to negotiate reductions on prices usually charged by suppliers/installers and who wish to take action. The more households that register, the better the conditions!"

Namur's property management agency, through its main mission to promote an active property policy, is proposing to develop its land (sites for redevelopment, (SAR, Sites à Réaménager) and collective community development zones (ZACCs, Zone d’Aménagement Communal Concerté)) in order to develop "sustainable" districts. Its primary ambition is to be an example for Namur, and for Wallonia. Examples: a project involving 40 homes on the site of former abattoirs and the "Plateau de Belle Vue" ecodistrict project, with 350 homes.

Since 2007, the City of Namur has been setting up a coherent and prospective spatial planning project. This multi-faceted project impacts numerous domains including urban planning, mobility, housing, energy, tourism and heritage. Energy constraints, the climate challenge and financial crises are compelling us to reinvent a city which will offer its inhabitants more satisfaction while consuming fewer resources. This spatial planning project is materialising within a strategic and regulatory framework.
