1 The Swedish Delegation for Sustainable Cities background, experiences and future opportunities Dr. Ulf Ranhagen, Professor Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) in Stockholm Chief Architect SWECO, Sweden, Member of the Swedish Delegation for Sustainable Cities Cities must lead the way and is part of the solution to climate change 1

2 Structure of the Presentation The Sustainability and the Urbanisation Challenge The Swedish Delegation for Sustainable Cities The Delegation has been appointed by the Swedish Government to promote achievements within sustainable urban development in Sweden During Sep 2008 Dec 2012 A national area is needed Two main tasks: To be the National Arena for the Development of Sustainable Cities To manage a Government Grant 2

3 A holistic view and collaboration are recurrent themes of our focus areas Provide a meeting place for urban development projects Present and disseminate experiences and good practice Promote collaboration on research and development Identify the barriers to sustainable urban development Strengthen the social dimension of sustainable urban development Promote environmental technology development and export The Government grant The overall mission is to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases, considering all aspects of sustainability- economic, environmental, social and spatial sustainaibility Companies and municipalities can apply Both new constructions AND renovations of cities and towns A maximum of 30 % of the added cost can be supported 3

4 Financial support and climate benefits 340 Million SEK (36 Million Euro) have been invested in 9 urban development projects and 28 planning projects between Million SEK (2 Million Euro) is available for planning projects in 2011 There is a financial support of 19 million even in 2012 The Evaluation of 103 applications is on-going Nine Urban Development Investment Projects 4

5 40% of the energy use in Sweden supplies the built environment The reduction of the energy demand in existing buildings is of crucial importance New constructions of buildings constitute less than 1 % of all existing buildings Renovation of the Swedish Million Programme 2 PILOT CASES WERE SOURCES OF INSPIRATION FOR THE FURTHER EFFORTS OF THE DELEGATION Pilot 1 Solar Buildings in Gårdsten Gothenburg 255 apartments 270 KWh/sqm 160 KWh/sqm Pilot 2 Brogården, Alingsås 300 apartments 216 KWh/sqm 92KWh/sqm 5
