Lighten our darkness
Can we reinvent the city?
Reduce, reuse, recycle
Güssing, Austria: 85% renewable energy
Barcelona: 45% solar water heating
Copenhagen: self-sufficiency
The post-commuter city?
…travel to work areas are getting larger
…21.8m productive hours lost to commuting
Back to the garden city?
Incredible edible cities
Urban farming: not so wild
- solution for shrinking cities (Detroit)- temporary uses (Bradford hole)
- combines quality of place with urban cooling
Energy, food, leisure…
Waste to energy: bio-methane
- can be collected and processed locally
- ready supply of organic material
- reduces dependence on fossil fuels
Green infrastructure for urban cooling
Seeing the light?
Rethink behaviour and the rest will follow
