TOWARDS A SUSTAINABLE &SMART ARAB CITY PARADIGM

Are our cities following the proper paradigms?

How liveable are our Arab cities?

What should we do to reserve resources for the upcoming generations?

How could intelligent connectivity solutions improve the efficiency of our cities?

How can authorities and people participate in making Arab cities liveable?

Presenter
Presentation Notes
This session will discuss the following questions

I grew up in Alexandria Egypt, the authentic Alexandria, it’s an adorable Mediterranean city, When I was young, I used to walk a lot, most of my movement around the city was either on foot or by tram, I used to walk to school, grocery store, friends houses, the beach

and for the farther destinations like the stadium or the cinemas I used to take the tram, therefore moving around such a large city for a teenager like me had not only been easy but also safe and affordable. But as the city grows and expands it’s still adorable but it becomes much less walkable, I don’t think that my son today can move around the city as safely and easily as I did when I was the same age

MostadamSaudi Arabia’s Green Building Rating System

International rating systems are inspired by international or country-specific standards. These can’t feasibly be applied in the GCC area. So one of the main reasons Mostadam was developed was to focus on applying sustainability principles that are influenced by local climate, cultural context and environmental characteristics.

Presenter
Presentation Notes
Actually there’s a significant breakthrough towards sustainability in the Arab World, there’s Estidama rating system in Abu Dhabi, Saafat in Dubai, and recently KSA introduced its green building rating system named “Mostadam”, and I had the privilege to contribute in developing and testing this code and I can tell that it’s influenced by local climate, cultural context and environmental characteristics of our region.

So, there are 3 axes of responsibility here, authorities that should formalize regulations that support sustainability, introduce incentives for businesses and households that adapt with sustainability goals, revise the urban planning guidelines for more liveable streets, and develop smarter and more reliable infrastructure Then communities that should promote diversity and equality, introduce non-profit initiatives inline with the main goals, educate the public about the need and the benefit of sustainability values and support social activities in the city, finally there’s you and me, the individuals, we should use the public transit more often, we should follow a healthy lifestyle, we should be socially active in the community and we should be very wise and savvy in consuming resources, with all that we can achive a sustainable and smart arab city
