programs and the social, economic, and political goals of citizens and
community leaders. To be successful, large community conservation programs
depend on local initiative and leadership; and this requires that we reach
a better understanding of the relationship between energy conservation and
broader community goals.


 CONCLUSION

 The high density urban areas of this country, and especially the
older industrialized northern cities, have serious energy-related
problems that are not likely to be solved by applying conservation
measures to individual buildings. The means are available to greatly
improve the efficiency of using domestic fuels (in cogeneration plants),
to recover energy from municipal waste and industrial processes, and to
make use of the renewable energy resources of nature; but such energy
resources are generally found outside the urban areas. Realizing the
potential benefit of such energy sources requires use of a district
heating system to deliver energy throughout a community. District
heating allows the high density urban areas to participate in improving
the relationship between humanity and the natural environment.
