Introducing the Cluster for Sustainable Cities
PART I
The Cluster for Sustainable Cities
is an interdisciplinary Cluster (research group) that brings together 40 key researchers across a range of disciplines with an interest in urban resilience and sustainable cities development

The City of short Distances
Saint-Malo FranceReconstructed after WWII at approximately 57 peopleacre this is more dense than the average densities of both Tokyo (30 people per acre) and Vancouver (22 people per acre) A good example of how traditional urbanism can still be built and accommodate dense populations without the default of becoming a high-rise megacity
CompactnessOver 150 dwellings per hectare

Transit Corridors
The Helsinki Metropolitan Area
The 4 cities in the metropolitan area
are the cities of Helsinki Espoo
Vantaa and Kauniainen
To develop more housing in walking
distance to the railway stations
and along railway corridors -
this will reduce car-dependency and
CO2 emissions
It will link more people to public transport
Low Carbon District Hub concept for station areas
Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
Accessibility
Concentrate development around transit hubs and along transit corridors
TODs are usually located within a 500m radius from a transit stop
bull Neighbourhoods around commuter railway stations in the city
with short distances to facilities and public transport
bull Bus terminals can become good TODs too
bull Connectivity and high-quality pedestrian and cycling facilities
bull Housing on top of retail and shopping malls
bull Higher density living with a good mix of housing choices
bull Possible challenges air quality and noise and crime
Osaka station TOD
South Brisbane TOD
Low Carbon District Hub concept for station areas
Small TOD Albion Station Brisbane
bull Commercial and residential buildings and public space are built on top or adjacent to the
station
bull Aiming for a seamless integration of apartment living retail food outlets and vibrant
public open spaces for a diversity of activities Pedestrian focus
bull Improvements of platform access with lifts and escalators
Albion Station TOD Brisbane
Additional 3000 residentsAdditional 2000 office workers
What makes the areas around railway stations and transport nodes so special
Why is urban infill in the existing urban fabric so difficult
How much car parking needs a TOD
While the whole of the city should be transformed towards low-carbon the station areas offer particular good starting points for this transformation
Railway stations are a microcosm of the larger city
500m radius
Urban density creating urbanity
Makes cities compact and walkable and cycling an alternative mode of
mobility
Mixed-use
Bringing working living retail and services together again
London TODs bringing production back into the city
The role of a walkable public realm
new types of public spaces and urban landscapes emerging
The future of the car What about autonomous electric cars and car-parking
Low-carbon mobility The railway is always more energy-efficient (railway light rail subway)
Performance aims of a Low-Carbon Station District
resulting in
(when compared to suburban livingbusiness-as-usual)
50 less car use
50 less energy use
min 25 energy from on-site renewables
Other indicators of Low-Carbon Districts
50 less water use
min 70 waste recycling rate
20 of land area allocated for public space (squares green)
min 15-20sqm green space access per resident
Housing on top of shopping mall
in Perth Australia
New public space Riverside Plaza

Urban regeneration Bringing back manufacturing as urban activity in the city
Temporary use to activate placesNew concepts of retail for instance Boxparkcouka pop-up mall combining street food with local brands galleries and fashion showsconstructed out of refitted shipping containers
Urban regenerationOur manifesto for regenerating cities and brownfields (10 Strategies)

(such as setbacks designated heights)bull Thinking long-term and making the most of what we already havebull Bringing quiet production back to the city (bicycle workshops

PART III
Comparing the same amount of people

Too much public space is occupied by the car
In Europe car use is now decreasing

Public Space is all around us
Public space is key
The public realm is vital to everyday urban life
Two urban regeneration theorists
Jane JacobsStreets parks community gardens squares small pocket parks and other forms of open spaces
Jan GehlPlace-making the space between buildings is crucial for the liveability and vitality of cities
Longer life expectancy ndash
Health benefits of
good public space
The quality of public space has a direct impact on our health and well-being
reducing obesity and adding to life expectancy (recent study in Japan)
Health benefits

Economic benefits
Creating economic and social values increased land value for surrounding properties
Good public space attracts talented people and more investment (UK study by CABE)
Economic benefits

Social benefits
The social decline of urban
areas is directly connected to
poor street design shabby
parks and neglected public

Nature-based Solutions
Nature-based solutions (NBS) are
Living solutions inspired and supported by nature that simultaneously provide
environmental social and economic benefits and help to build resilience
Solutions that bring more nature and natural features and processes into
cities landscapes and seascapes through locally adapted resource-efficient
and systemic interventions
NBS have an important role to play

Saint-Malo FranceReconstructed after WWII at approximately 57 peopleacre this is more dense than the average densities of both Tokyo (30 people per acre) and Vancouver (22 people per acre) A good example of how traditional urbanism can still be built and accommodate dense populations without the default of becoming a high-rise megacity

Questions
Longer life expectancy ndash
Health benefits of
good public space
The quality of public space has a direct impact on our health and well-being
reducing obesity and adding to life expectancy (recent study in Japan)
Health benefits
The value of Public Space ndash
Economic benefits
Creating economic and social values increased land value for surrounding properties
Good public space attracts talented people and more investment (UK study by CABE)
Economic benefits
Urban regeneration ndash
Social benefits
The social decline of urban
areas is directly connected to
poor street design shabby
parks and neglected public
space
minus Urban rejuvenation
