5 Sustainable development What is Sustainable development? Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Brundtland Commission of the United Nations, March1987. It is a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs while preserving the environment so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come

7 Sustainable tri-pod environmental - physical environment minimal ecological footprint, closing the loops energy efficiency, renewable energy, 0 CO 2 emissions resource efficiency, 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) materials waste and water management infrastructure planning and landscaping social diversity, safety and security health and well being flexibility, adaptability, attractively economic affordable, cost efficient over the whole life cycle Sustainable development Ecological Economic socio-environmental: close human contact with green open spaces socio-economic: available for all people Social

8 What is Sustainabel Urban Development? Waste management Attractive for people to live, work, meet, entertain, etc. Mixed areas, functions Close and interconnected with nature High employment rate Secure Sustainable development Climate adaptable Biodiversity Environmental friendly lifestyles Energy efficient Healthy enviornment Peaceful, safe, and social just Renewable energy sources Clean air and water

9 Sustainable urban development A complex world Many individual issues Many affected parties Many specialists One thing at a time Everything is interconnected Everyone s opinion must be reconciled All specialists are needed One thing at a time does not work

19 Stockholm Royal Seaport, Sweden Stockholm Royal Seaport, map A world class urban district development with strong environmental focus. Three generic targets: by 2020 CO 2 emissions will be less than 1.5 tonnes/person (current Swedish average is 6.5) the area will be adapted to future climate change by 2030 the area will be fossil fuel-free (for the whole Stockholm the traget is set for 2050). Five target areas: energy use, environmental efficient transport adaptation to climate change cycles and cyclical model at system level lifestyle issues

Main goals for the area are: creating new jobs increase the attractiveness of Malmö encouraging and facilitating peoples involvement in the change to sustainable development reducing environmental impact enhancing energy efficiency favouring the use of renewable raw materials increasing reuse and recycling preserving and strengthening biodiversity reducing the use of hazardous chemicals
