1 Yekaterinburg Managing Industry as Part of a Modern City siemens.com

2 Industries & Cities Development No fixed size of an industrial city Factories pushed out of town VS. city risks losing them Keeping local jobs Industry has changed: shrunken physical size, increased productivity, automation/software as major business drivers Industries comply with environmental regulations. consider noise, vibration, logistics, congestion, and smell. Cities consider land use; industry and residents planning has changed, sites can be consolidated Which steps should the city take next? What about transport on sites?

3 Industrial Cities: Yekaterinburg in Comparison

4 Yekaterinburg Meeting the Demands of Growth Population growth of 1% per year, over 10 years 153,795 people by 2026 Buildings 77,000 new homes 3 new healthcare units/hospitals 510 retail units 31 schools 3 large commercial buildings 12 medium-sized commercial buildings 25 small commercial buildings 3 factories (re-development of existing factories) Water 62 million additional liters of drinking water 52 million additional liters of wastewater Transport Cars 9,700 additional car trips, 8,100 new cars Bus 11,000 additional trips, 30 buses Metro 1,300 metro trips, 3 additional carriages Tram 4,200 tram trips, 17 additional tram vehicles Energy 1.5 million additional MWh of electricity Additional 300,000 CO 2 tonnes per year Additional 880 substations 10.1 million MWh of total heat 220,000 MWh of cooling

5 Taking an active approach to building local industry Inventory of key sites Better understand local university research focuses and capabilities Identify opportunities for public investment that supports industry (access or shared services) Plan and support the physical consolidation of industry Plan and support the redevelopment of formerly industrial land (remediation and services) Create a shared research or innovation hub with between local industry and the city

6 Inventory of Industrial Land: Understanding the fundamentals of local industry Identification of key local industrial companies Site size and access Density of employment use Processes taking place on site Type and amount of waste, emissions and effluents resulting from the industrial processes Noise levels (and timing of noise) Logistics numbers of trucks entering and leaving the site, types of materials imported Output type, size and quantum Growth projections for the business Interest in shared services and possible types Signs of historic pollution

7 Developing a consolidation plan What the city can do Key industrial trends Most factories today need physically less space then they did 20 years ago Industry as a sector still relies on good road, rail or water connectivity Industrial jobs are very linked to R&D, front and back office jobs opportunity for colocation, shared services Identify opportunity for shared services and R&D Identify the physical access improvements that can support local industry Identify the industries that have similar needs, consider the benefits of grouping them together Design and plan industrial parks with shared services over time Support the transition to digital factories through targeted training programs

8 Developing Site Opportunities

9 Zavokzalniy Bridging over the rail lines examples from Broadgate and Kings Cross

10 Zavokzalniy Site Recommendations Consolidate industry Increase transit across the site Create Metro Station Transport hubs Transport Hub development Bridge the rail lines Reduce site barriers Mixing uses and residential typologies Utilize existing infrastructure Smart grid East-west passenger light rail route (tram) High-speed rail New road Alternate route north-south

11 Proposed East-West Passenger Service Rail or Dedicated Bus

12 Sortirovochniy Site plan

13 Sortirovochniy Site Recommendations Consolidate industry Create a cultural and recreational attraction Pedestrian Bridges Construct an Indoor Park

14 Beach Access Entrance to the beach is only possible by the highway. There is only one pedestrian bridge accessing the area.

15 Urban Beaches around the world

16 Uralmashplant Development Recommendations Transit hub potential Consolidation of industry Improve access East-West / North-South commuter line Creating an Industrial Museum

17 Does Government Have a Role in Creating Innovation?

18 Yekaterinburg Conclusions 1/2 Conclusions 1/2 Ensuring good access to and across key sites. Improving road and pedestrian access to each site Construct new roads within the sites for public & private transit Identify routes for improved public transit across the sites Utilize existing unused rail track for east-west rail service Connect out of center technoparks to the city with public transport

19 Conclusions 2/2 Deliver key projects to retain graduating technical students from local universities: Smart grid demonstration project across key sites: Test new building technologies on city owned buildings have students manage the performance and use cost savings to fund further projects. Provide collaborative research space open to local groups and organizations. Support projects to create interest and vitality within the sites: Deliver anchor projects Indoor park, an industrial museum, showcase local artists and inventors in a city gallery. Build a framework for developing retail and commercial hubs around key transport nodes, metro and rail stations. Ensure sufficient student housing and shared live/ work spaces. Open city data Ensure fast broadband connections across the city for a reasonable price or provide free WiFi City sponsored accelerator or technology competition an App contest for delivering real time public transit information.
