Week 3 Urban Infrastructure Interventions Profs. Marian Chertow, Anu Ramaswami, Jason Cao NSF PIRE – Sustainable and Low Carbon Cities
2
Text from Proposal Week 2. Low Carbon Interventions in Transition Cities with Urban-to-Global Linkage: “Urban industrial symbiosis along with early land use/transportation and energy planning is hypothesized to play a significant role in reducing GHG emissions in young industrializing Asian cities, preventing them from becoming locked into inefficient growth patterns seen in many mature U.S. cities as well as megacities in Asia.”
3
Specific Interventions 1) industrial symbiosis to promote reuse of water, energy, and material by-products across firms 2) transport and land use planning with Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) 3) sustainable energy generation incorporating water constraints in electricity sector planning 4) underserved community/slum area interventions (now linked with Week 4)

Day-by-Day Overview of Week Three Day 1-1.5 Marian Chertow – From Footprints to Urban Infrastructure Interventions – Focus on industrial symbiosis as a means of avoiding some new urban infrastructure and creating market opportunities. Quantifying benefits and orchestrating networks of firms. Day 1.5-3 Anu Ramaswami – Energy Sector Planning with Water Constraints – Focus on electricity sector models (eg MARKAL), generation and technologies, fuels, levelized cost, pollution, optimization and trade- offs. Implications for governance of water-energy nexus in India. Day 4 Jason Cao – Introduction to transportation and transit-oriented development Day 5 Jason Cao – Bus Rapid Transit – comparative worldwide systems – Designing and implementing surveys for potential BRT users
