10 HOLISTIC URBAN PLANNING SMART, SUSTAINABLE AND LIVEABLE Best practice to next practice Liveability is main objective o Sustainability has been best practice for 25 years Prime enablers are: o Sustainability o Smart city o Not content with best practice o o Best practice is retrospective Mobility o o Cities last for the 100s of years Viability o o Best practices don t consider autonomous cars, e-trade, 3D printing, social medias, climate changes etc. Resiliency o Coherency o Flexibility o And o Next practice is liveability

11 LIVEABLE CITY MULTI-DIMENSIONAL APPROACH DIFFERENT LAYERS OF THE CITY Business, education and knowledge Demography and Socioculture Governance Physical design CITY GRID Buildings and Urban spaces CITY GRID Transportation, ICT Infrastructure, Energy, Water and Waste

12 RAMBOLL LIVEABILITY TOOL Designed to: Measure the liveability of the city Communication to decision makers Assess planned urban development Follow the liveability development in the city, in districts or in neighbourhoods

13 THE OUTPUT

14 CLIMATE CHANGE IS THE BIG GAME CHANGER BIG DRIVER FOR DEVELOPMENT OF GREEN INDUSTRY High end liveability Sustainability, aesthetics, innovation, learning, transparency Cities: Singapore, Sydney, Hamburg, Montreal, Copenhagen Etc. Intermediate liveability Enhanced infrastructure, safety, supply stability, Diversity in population Cities: Rio, Gdansk, (the classic industrial city) Climate change Basic liveability - survival Place to sleep and shelter (buildings), basic utilities (water, heat, power), basic infrastructure Cities: Manila, Jakarta, Mumbai, Nairobi, Hanoi, (third world cities)

15 CLIMATE RESPONSIVE DESIGN PASSIVE STRATEGIES FOR OUTDOOR COMFORT Wind flow King Abdullah financial district, Riyadh Wind velocity Air ventilation Temperature reduction of 10 o C, by passive strategies for outdoor design Landuse, orientation, design, materials, planting,

16 Example - NORDHAVN next practice NOMINATED WORLDS BEST MASTERPLAN Sustainable, smart, liveable 40,000 inhabitants 40,000 workplaces CO2 neutral and energy plus Design for passive energy saving Smart city solutions Public transport prioritization Parking strategy Super bicycle paths District heating and cooling High performance building envelopes Large energy store Sea wheat for bioethanol and biogas Intelligent waste handling Solar systems

17 6 NORDHAVN next practice Northern Harbour development Design: Ramboll and COBE - Denmark Total: m 2 - Mixed use Residents: Jobs: CO 2 neutral Nominated worlds best masterplan 2009 (WAF, Barcelona)

18 MORE MOBILITY LESS TRAFFIC

19 LIVEABILITY AND SMART PLANNING IMPROVE MOBILITY - REDUCE TRAFFIC Definition of 5 minute city The five minute city makes it possible to reach basic shops, institutions, work places and cultural facilities within 5 minutes walk Or within 5 minutes walk to a public transport mode leading to the destination Why? To create urban life Social interconnectedness Networking Sustainable behaviour and transportation

20 CLIMATE CHANGE multi functionality City in development No Time, no Space...for Rain Water Nature un-development Rain Water in nature & ecology 85 % of rainwater runs away from hard surfaces in pipe systems High costs of drainage systems Accumulation of nutrients, pollution Drawdown of groundwater Accelerated run-off causing floods and droughts Heat island effect 0-30% Porous green surfaces Decentralized retention, infiltration, evaporation Cut down of the run-off Cleansing Recharging underground Improving microclimate 70 % 0 15 % % 28 % 2%

26 LOOP CITY URBAN REDEVELOPMENT OF COPENHAGEN SUBURBS LIGHT RAIL IS MAIN DRIVER Loop City is a vision to create an urban hub, a new city region 10 municipalities in Denmark New light rail is driver and backbone Population in DK > people Increase of urban value in suburbs Attract leading businesses to a clean tech and health cluster

27 LOOP CITY - FROM SILOS TO SYNERGY Cooperation is key Between countries Between municipalities Between sectors Between industries If not there might be few winners and many losers Urban development is about creating partnerships Otherwise we end up as Beijing

28 URBAN INNOVATION ROAD TO SUCCESS 1. A strong and guiding political vision Quality of life (Liveable, clean, safe, diverse, sustainable) Growth (knowledge, innovation, employment) 2. A holistic approach to planning urban developments/retrofitting Acknowledgement that investments in physical infrastructure need to be viable and go hand-in-hand with investments in social and cultural infrastructure. 3. Structured approach to dialogue with citizens and investors Open dialogue with investors on need for municipal trigger investments. Transparency in political decision making and trust in the future. Involvement of citizens. Not only in hearings and formalized engagement processes. But also in structured co-creation processes
