Reference City: Frankfurt Frankfurt named the most sustainable city on the planet When it comes to sustainability, Frankfurt is the place to be. The German city is known widely for its green initiatives, and it took the top spot in the recently released Sustainable Cities Index by Arcadis. London and Copenhagen were named second and third on the list, respectively. According to Arcadis, Frankfurt topped the list due to its “long track record of proactively taking action to improve its sustainability.” Energy-saving renovation of historical buildings In Frankfurt substantial energy savings can be achieved by the appropriate renovation of existing buildings. This involves bringing buildings from the late nineteenth century and workers’ housing estates from around 1900 into line with twenty-first century standards. In Frankfurt, this applies to around 15,000 of the 80,000 buildings. The brochure published by the Energy Agency – “Guidelines for the energy-saving renovation of Gründerzeit buildings” – shows that the conservation of historical buildings and climate protection are not mutually exclusive. Even in buildings with facades and roofs that are worth conserving and are often intricately designed, heating needs can be reduced by 50 per cent without infringing regulations governing the protection of historic buildings. What we are doing “Frankfurt saves electricity” Frankfurt is the first city in Germany to reward electricity saving with a cash bonus. People who reduce their electricity consumption by at least 10 per cent within a year receive a bonus of €20 from the city plus 10 cents for every additional kilowatt hour saved. Those who have taken part so far had, on average, €65 more in their purse and did something for the climate at the same time.



Projects “Green Building Frankfurt” architectural award Innovative, exceptionally well-designed and sustainable – these are the three essential characteristics of a “Green Building Frankfurt”. This award is presented by the city of Frankfurt am Main to builders and planners in recognition of the contribution made by their building to architecture and to climate protection. At the same time, the intention is to draw broad public attention to the award-winning “green” buildings and to inspire others to do something similar.In 2009 eight buildings – from passive house style homes to energy efficient office high-rises – were acclaimed as pioneers of sustainable construction.



FUTURE CITY: CHENGDU, CHINA

- China is creating a totally car-free city from scratch, building a new urban center around a high-rise core housing 80,000 people.

- Great City, planned for a rural area outside Chengdu, will be entirely walkable and surrounded by green space.

- Getting from the center to the outer ring of parks on foot takes just ten minutes.

- Other nearby urban centers will be accessible via mass transit.

Emerald city will be a completely car free city. The means of transportation will include walking, cycling and LRT.

Future City: Masdar

Masdar City is an arcology project in Abu Dhabi, in the United Arab Emirates. Its core is a planned city, which is being built by Masdar, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the Government of Abu Dhabi.[2][3] Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners, the city relies on solar energy and other renewable energy sources.



Masdar City aims to be one of the world’s most sustainable urban developments powered by renewable energy.

It aims to do this by:

- Ensuring a low carbon footprint during and after its construction.

Being completely powered by renewable energy.

- Reducing waste to as near to zero as possible, through encouraging changes in behaviour and regulating materials which can be present in the city.

- Leading research and education into sustainable technology.

- Designing the city streets and buildings to help create comfortable environments reducing the need for air conditioning, heating, and artificial light.

- Educating three quarters of the 40,000 residents with 5 hours of sustainability education each year.

- Leading research at its university to ensure the city retains its sustainable identification and leading knowledge in sustainable living.

-Full pedestrianisation within the city, without vehicles in the space. The transport network would be below ground. What would most likely be implemented in the new X city: The use of solar energy and wind energy, full pedestrianisation within the city.



Present City: Sydney, Australia History

Duet to the American revolution, Great Britain began to use Australia as a prison colony for convicts. On January 26th, 1788, the settlement of Sydney was founded and named in honor of Thomas Townshend, the Baron Sydney who eventually became the British Secretary of State. By 1842, Sydney was firmly established as the leading city of the new continent, and the discovery of gold in 1852 caused a massive influx of residents in a Gold Rush similar to the famous California Gold Rush in America. In 1861 the population of Sydney was 56,000, in 1881 it was 221,000, and by 1901 it was an astounding 481,000.

Sydney has become increasingly involved in world affairs, particular during World War II. Australia entered the war on the side of the Allies in 1939 and fought in campaigns in North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific. When Japanese submarines entered Sydney harbor and attacked the HMAS Kuttabul, killing several Australian and British citizens, the focus of the Australian military shifted almost exclusively to the Pacific. Almost a million Australians fought in the war, with over 50,000 casualties.

Today, Sydney is known as one of the premiere tourist destinations in the world. In 1973, the world-famous Sydney Opera House opened its doors, and it has subsequently become renowned for its stellar acoustics and revolutionary architectural design. In 2000, Sydney hosted the Olympic Games, cementing itself as a world class city of the new millennium. Now

Sydney City

Sydney is Australia's largest and most famous city. It's home to beautiful beaches, iconic buildings, historic landmarks, award-winning restaurants, and a vibrant culture. From the breathtaking



views of Sydney Harbour to the serene tranquillity of Hyde Park, Sydney has something for everyone. If you're looking for high-energy adventure holidays, planning a honeymoon, or or searching for a fun-filled getaway, summer in Sydney is a tourist's dream with a mix of holiday options. What makes Sydney special? Nowhere else in the world (including the San Francisco Bay Area) is there a Harbour that is as breathtakingly beautiful as Sydney Harbour. With the Opera House, the Bridge, and countless other icons gracing its shores, the Harbour is a blue jewel amongst the large city.

International Icons.

While Melbourne, Brisbane, and even Adelaide have tourist destinations that many Aussies appreciate and visit, if you were to ask what an international visitor would want to visit, the Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge, and even Bondi Beach generally tops the list. We’re lucky here, Sydney is such a beautiful city. Parks

There are more than 400 parks and open spaces in the local area. The City of Sydney's parks cover an area of more than 188 hectares.

Some of these include a variety of iconic and award-winning major parks. These range from Hyde Park, with its beginnings in the early 19th century, to the recently revitalised Paddington Reservoir Gardens, noted for its unique blend of historic fixtures fused with contemporary features.



Architecture Sydney also has great architectural buildings. Eg: landmarks, skyscapers, residential.

Economic development

Sydney’s economy

Jobs across the City of Sydney’s local area are increasing at twice the rate of metropolitan Sydney and in a 5-year period, 40% of all jobs growth across the metropolitan area took place within the City.

The local workforce grew 13.6% – an extra 52,306 workers – and the number of businesses grew 10.5% despite the onset of the global financial crisis in late 2007.

Sydney is recognised as Australia’s only global city and the leading knowledge-based economy in the nation.

More than $100 billion is generated each year within the City of Sydney local area representing over 7% of Australia's economy and providing over 437,000 jobs across all skills levels that offer diverse opportunities for diverse communities. Education Students attend primary school from Kindergarten to Year 6. After this, children start high school (ages 12 to 13), where they move through Years 7 to 12. While primary schools are typically co-educational, it’s common for students to attend single-sex high schools in Sydney.



Eg: Public schools, Faith-based schools and Private and independent schools Transportation Main transport= Vehicles Road systems include extensive network or freeways and toil roads. Public transport include buses and trains. What would mostly be implemented in my city: more green and open spaces to allow people to gather and interact with one another. Good education system so that the younger generations would be more knowledgeable and therefore able to contribute to the city to make it better.



Sustainable Living

Sustainable living encompasses a broad range of aims including the use of renewable resources, energy efficiency, use of public transport, accessible resources and services. Whitehill Bordon is an example of an Ecotown in the UK, given government funding for sustainable measures and Masdar City in Abu Dhabi is an example of a sustainably planned city.

Sustainable cities

Many people are working towards trying to make cities more sustainable. A sustainable city offers a good quality of life to current residents but doesn't reduce the opportunities for future residents to enjoy.

Key features of a sustainable city

- Resources and services in the city are accessible to all.

- Public transport is seen as a viable alternative to cars.

- Public transport is safe and reliable.

- Walking and cycling is safe.

- Areas of open space are safe, accessible and enjoyable.

- Wherever possible, renewable resources are used instead of non-renewable resources.

- Waste is seen as a resource and is recycled wherever possible.

- New homes are energy efficient.

- There is access to affordable housing.

- Community links are strong and communities work together to deal with issues such as crime and security.

- Cultural and social amenities are accessible to all.



Sustainable transport

'Cycling City' logo used by Bristol City council

A city can plan to make transport more sustainable. This includes:

- Discouraging the use of private transport. In London this is achieved by a congestion charge for vehicles driving through certain areas.

- Investing in public transport - improving the efficiency and safety of buses and tubes.

- Encouraging the use of bicycles. Bristol was the UK's first cycling city. It encourages the use of bikes by having bike festivals, investing in cycle lanes and supporting projects which promote cycling.

- Promoting car sharing schemes for areas poorly served by public transport.
