1 Innovative solutions for urban and regional development: urban planning support, energy supply & efficiency improvement Dr. Wolfgang Loibl / AIT Austrian Institute of Technology UNIDO, Vienna, Oct. 21 st 2016 One Belt One Road Inclusive and Sustainable City Exhibition and Dialogue Contribution to Session V

2 Support for policy making for urban & regional development Ex-Post Impact Assessment Issue Identification Observation, Monitoring, Analysis Evaluation / Adaptation Agenda-Setting Implementation Demonstration Ex-Ante Impact Assessment, Participation support Policy Cycle Negotiation / Decision Making Elaboration of Alternatives Strategy Development Support Scenarios, Simulations

3 Solutions to better cope with Urbanization in Emerging Countries Uncontrolled urban growth: informal housing is a major pressure zoning as planning instrument is not appropriate Infrastructure design can either respond to urban growth or pro-actively shape urban growth Dwellers seek for areas with attractive framework conditions to settle Smart infrastructure design may change location attractiveness which supports efficient urban expansion by triggering urban actors behavior 3

4 Solutions to better cope with Urbanization in Emerging Countries Modelling attractiveness changes due to new infrastructure layout allows simulating alternative urban growth scenarios and examining land consumption and infrastructure cost impact 4

5 Solutions to better cope with Urbanization: Urban Development Simulator Simulation of alternative development scenarios Example: 2 scenarios/different attractiveness citeria and criteria preferences:

6 Solutions to better cope with Urbanization: Urban Development Simulator Comparing impact of different development scenarios: effects on building land consumption, infrastructure extension (also social infrastructure ) and Infrastructure costs

7 Solutions - addressing energy demand and supply Resource Supply and Low Carbon Action Plans Supply planning (for energy & further resources) requires to explore resource demand potential (power, water, sanitation, ) supply deficits and (- with respect to low carbon targets clean air /low carbon improvement requirements & potentials (energy efficiency, renewables ) Required steps: accounting framework: Resource use - and emission inventories based on proxy data (volume and distribution: of population, working activities, transportation) identify current supply volume identify supply coverage examine availability/ affordability Identify efficiency improvement potential identify deficits Hot spot exploration / implementation plans 7

8 Solutions addressing energy demand and supply Resource Supply and Low Carbon Action Plans Implementation Challenge: Access to energy for the poor, rural electrification Affordable grid based power supply: pay as you use meters Cheap, small off-grid solutions avoiding single household wiring, diesel generators Distributed energy supply, micro-grids Renewables: o PV o Heating / cooling throung heat pumps o (soil, groundwater, surface water, geothermal) o solarthermal equipment o Micro turbines in water networks for power generation o Wind parks are usually not an appropriate option in cities 8

9 Solutions for energy efficiency - and low carbon improvement Resource Supply and Low Carbon Action Plans Explore efficiency improvement potentials: Exchange of old electrical household appliances to new high efficient ones: fridge, washing machines, TV, cooking, (air condition) Indor climate improvement measures to reduce air condition use / fossil heating shading devices roofs with high albedo reflecting solar irradiance insolated walls Renewables for heating and cooling (heat puimps ) Waste heat re-use, heat cascading Mobility: Examine and start vehicle fleet improvement potentials towards e-mobility Enhance public transport systems (trains, e-buses, e-brts) 9
