1 - E N E R G Y M A T T E R S - Sustainable Redevelopment 3.0 in harbour cities Venue: Pathé ZAANDAM ZAANIJ - Amsterdam Metropolitan Area * * *21 and 22 March 2013 (lunch- to- lunch)* * * Official Host R. Linnekamp Alderman Chairman J. Cramer Former Minister Official Host D. Straat Alderman A new orientation in urban redevelopment is deployed. Urban Redevelopment new style: incorporate more of the cities existing capital, do it in a sustainable way and make sure it meets the users demands. Here energy is a leading theme, next to e.g. mobility, water & waste and communication. This new challenge not only calls for another way of co- creation, but for alliances with new strategic partners as well. But:... how to actually do this in practice? Harbour cities have a strong mix of residential and industrial areas and (sustainable) energy production facilities in abundance. They are the perfect place to explore the introduction of the new strategy. This is addressed at the two- day conference Urban Redevelopment new coalitions with new energy: Energy matters. It provides insight into opportunities and current examples across the North Sea Region. In a lunch- to- lunch setting with international speakers the topics of changing roles of stakeholders, new opportunities, pitfalls and financing are discussed. Public and private stakeholders are invited to participate in parallel Interactive Power Sessions on potential business cases. REGISTRATION OPEN NOW: mailto: duurzaan@zaanstad.nl

How do we exploit this as a region? Sustainability in harbour area Amsterdam Metropolitan Area (Zaanstad) Dennis Straat Alderman The Amsterdam Metropolitan Area has a long strategic waterfront, with present and historic industrial buildings sprawled at its banks. New opportunities lie in the sustainable and energy- efficient combination of old, new and retrofitted functions. Act now (Alliander) Managing Director Strategy Pallas Agterberg Alliander presents their strategic vision on a clean and affordable energy provision. 3

5 POWER SESSION: How does e- mobility fit in? (by EseatzNetwork & RGU) George Jansen tbc & David Gray Environmental issues were the initial driver for e- mobility. Now we know e- mobility can play a role in smart energy solutions as well. How does this support sustainable urban (re) development? Harbour areas offer a huge potential of storage facilities due to an increasing amount of electric vehicles. How to benefit from this? David Gray has some suggestions. Traffic is dense; can we come up with some smarter solutions, adding the social media? George Jansen is developing such platform. POWER SESSION: The driving Force of Local Governments NET- COM To be confirmed The NET- OM project is aiming to increase the number of Cities supporting the Convenant of Mayors.

Which strategies and interim regulations are available to make the sustainable transformation a success? POWER SESSION: Massive Industrial Buildings: Retrofitting for Energy Chances?
