New York
As we all know, access to affordable, modern energy services is a pre-requisite for sustainable development and poverty alleviation, and, more specifically, for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Indeed, they are often contributors to urban problems rather than tools for human and environmental improvement.
