Sustainable cities seminar John Pendlebury Head of School Architecture, Planning & Landscape

Environmental Sustainability can mean… Energy sustainability – Carbon sequestration – Bio fuels (grown and recycled) – Geo-energy – Fuel cells – Etc … Infrastructure sustainability – Clean water / waste water – Transport networks & systems (vehicles) – all modes – Structures and buildings – Chemical / Fuel / Power / Information distribution Environmental sustainability – Understanding Earth and marine environmental systems – Mitigating historic adverse impacts – Realising sustainability in design of energy and infrastructure systems

Environmental Sustainability should mean… – Energy sustainability Carbon sequestration, Bio fuels (grown and recycled), Geo- energy, Fuel cells – Infrastructure & building sustainability Clean water / waste water, Transport networks & systems (vehicles) – all modes, structures and buildings, Chemical / Fuel / Power / Information distribution – Environmental sustainability Understanding Earth & marine systems; mitigating historic adverse impacts; realising sustainability in design of infrastructure systems, places and buildings – Governance & implementation Uneven adoption & unintended consequences. Implementation requires good governance – Equity & poverty Environmental ‘goods’, ‘bads’ & technologies are not evenly distributed. There is no ‘sustainable development’ while there is poverty (Brundtland) – Sustainable cities: the C21 is the urban century

Sustainable city = Liveable city Cities are celebrated & demonised, places of pleasure & fear, affluence & poverty, places of rapid urbanisation & post-industrialisation From 2008 > 50% of the world’s population live in cites, by 2050 = 70%. The sustainable city should be environmentally sustainable and economically prosperous and culturally rich and socially just.

Architecture, Planning & Landscape The challenge is to integrate research, teaching & practice… So, e.g. all new homes to be carbon neutral by 2016 – the world in which 2 nd year architecture students will graduate We are not there yet, but: Research e.g. SUME, ARCADIA, Routemap, SALED, green infrastructure, walkable cities etc. etc. Teaching e.g. new MSc Planning, Sustainability & Climate Change And, critically, engagement with practice & other stakeholders
