6 The creation of more resilient and inclusive urban environments over the next century will require the widespread dissemination and adaptation of good practice, I innovative policy options, and a growing stock of knowledge that have already appeared or are near emergence.

26 Cities and Energy More on Energy

27 + + Population (8.3 billion by 2030) GDP = Level of urbanization (60% by 2030) Source: Enerdata November 2011

28 World Consumption of oil: 90 million barrels/day US Share: 21% (19,150 million bbl/day)

29 World Consumption of coal 18.5 million short tons/day US Share: 17% (2.6 million short tons/day)

30 World Consumption of natural gas: 113 Trillion cubic feet US Share: 50%

31 Renewables: 16% of world energy US Share: very small (only 8% of US total energy)

32 Water used to refine 1 barrel of oil: 1,851 gallons US: 35 billion gallons daily Biggest user of water in the US: Electricity not agriculture (Half the water withdrawn from rivers Lakes and seashores: 200 million gallons USGS, 2012)

33 Data farms worldwide consume 30 billion watts of electricity or the equivalent of the output of 30 nuclear plants Energy: Petroleum: servicing/ growing Natural Gas: electricity production Coal:: electricity

34 Poor countries will have to build the equivalent of a city of a million each week for at least forty years. Joel Cohen, in Birch and Wachter, Global Urbanization (2011) Petroleum: Electricity: construction vehicles (bulldozers, trucks, cranes), petroleum based materials (e.g. plastic pipes, flooring) cement, steel and other industrially produced materials, later building operations

35 Transportation Planners: think about providing alternative modes BUT do they think about where the energy comes from to support them? Energy Petroleum: Ethanol: Natural Gas Electricity: Buses, mopeds and autos/ road building materials Mandated requirements Truck and bus fleets EVs, manufacturing the buses, mopeds, autos and bikes traffic lights; cement infrastructure
