2. Can we move towards a sustainable way of
living?
What policies and investments are needed
in low, middle and high income countries?
What is the role of connected urban
development innovations in leading this
transition to an Ecological Age?

8. Winning Strategies for the ‘ecological age’
‘Smart Responsive Simplicity’
1. Use waste as a resource
2. Diversify and co-operate
3. Gather and use energy efficiently
4. Optimise not maximise
5. Use materials sparingly
6. Clean up, not pollute
7. Do not draw down resources
8. Remain in balance with the biosphere
9. Run on information
10. Shop locally Janine Benyus

17. Low to middle income countries
Transition from agricultural to ecological age
A new paradigm of urban and rural development
with integrated urban-rural resource flows
Models - eco-city plans in China and Curitiba
18.
19. Middle to high income countries
Transition from industrial to ecological age
City retrofitting and reconnect urban-rural
resource flows
Models -London Climate Change Action Plan
and Freiburg
20. Transport infrastructure for the
ecological age
• High speed rail connecting city centres and
international airports-replaces regional air travel for
distances of 600 to 800km
• Zero emission mass transport in cities
• Consolidation centres for freight delivery using
green vehicle fleets
24. Energy infrastructure for the ecological age
• Large scale renewable energy-wind, wave, tidal
stream, hydro and concentrated solar in deserts.
Hydrogen production as energy storage
• Decentralised renewable energy power, heating and
cooling-micro grids
• Carbon sequestration at coal, oil and gas power
stations-short carbon cycling
26. Resource management
for the ecological age
• Anaerobic digestion of organic waste to create
energy and compost
• Water capture and recycling of waste water
• Nutrient recycling into the food chain
• City food production on rooftops and in buildings
• Mining of materials from existing cities

34. Climate Change Action Plan -
Objectives
• Focus on mitigation
• Delivering CO2 reduction targets
focusing on initiatives with
highest CO2 impact
• Create a shared climate change
agenda – identify actions by
individuals, Government,
business that enable a city to
meet its targets
35.
36. Delivery mechanism for city retrofit
• Public private partnerships at a regional scale with
initial pilot project
• Partners would include utilities for energy, water
and waste, public and private sector land owners,
public transport and logistics companies, major
resource suppliers
• Value drivers for public sector would be improved
economic, social and environmental performance at
a regional scale
• Value drivers for private sector would be faster
planning approval, lower investment costs, larger
returns on investment, attraction of lower cost
investment capital, new climate change legislation
