What is it about?
Geothermal energy´s use in urban planning in cities with established mechanisms of fossil-fuel-based supply is a challenge. How can these cities face upgrades in their heating supply systems and whether these would affect in any way, its physical structure, is the topic of this paper.

Why is it important?
Despite the city of Nis being quite an energy-dependent city in its heating energy supply, a long-term planning consideration allows for re-examination of strategies, leading to change in input criteria, once limited to physical expansion and which did not address spatially independent renewable sources.
Perspectives
Writing this article was especially important because of realizing the historic ties of the city to its geothermal utilization, dating back to the Antique and its architecture, which has been rarely addressed in papers recently.
