Malmo- A Sustainable city. The presentation contains all the projects in Malmo city and how is it sustainable.

2. Introduction
0 Malmö is Sweden's third largest city by
population-278,523.
0 Area: 158.4 km²
0 Malmö is a young city. Almost half of the population is under the age
of 35 (48%).
0 It is located near the southwestern tip of Sweden, in
the Scania province.
0 Summers are warm and pleasant with temperatures of 20 to 21 °C and
lows of around 11 to 13 °C. But temperatures do sometimes exceed
25 °C and occasional heat waves are common during the summer.
0 Winters are fairly cold, with temperatures steady between −3 to 4 °C.
0 Rainfall is light to moderate throughout the year with 169 wet days. 2

0 Malmö is part of the transnational
Öresund Region and since 2000 the
Öresund Bridge crosses the Öresund
to Copenhagen, Denmark.

4. History
0 In the late 1980s, Malmö was a typical industrial city.
0 But when Kockums shipyard closed and thousands of workers were
laid off in 1986, the people running the city
realized that an era had ended and it was time
for a new one.
0 From manufacturing town to city of knowledge.
0 Lost 30,000 jobs in 3 years in late 1980s.
0 Then came the Oresund university-
collaboration between 12 universities
and colleges in the region.
0 IT companies were attracted to set up here, and not least, it was
decided that the bridge across to Denmark could actually be built,
following years of discussion.

5. Economy
0 The economy of Malmö was traditionally based on shipbuilding and
construction related industries, such as concrete factories.
0 The main contributing factor has been the economic integration
with Denmark brought about by the Öresund Bridge.
0 Almost 10% of the populationin Malmö works in Copenhagen.
0 Almost 30 companies have moved their headquarters to Malmö
during the last seven years, generating around 2,300 jobs.
0 Around 7 new companies are started every day in Malmö.
0 Industries that continue to increase their
share of companies in Malmö are transport,
financial and business services, entertainment,
leisure and construction.

6. Sustainable Urban Planning in Malmö
0 Malmö is a compact city, facilitating provision of collective services,
including transport and bicycle pathways and simultaneously
incorporating mixed use planning and green space; creating
favorable conditions for sustainable urban development.
0 Guiding principles-
In current efforts, as well as long-term
planning, an underlying ambition of
Malmö's master plan is to create a
sustainable and attractive city-
particularly related to: social, economy
and ecology.

7. Green Roofs
0 As the 2000s approached the Augustenborg residential area was
becoming run down and tenants were leaving.
0 The city took an ecological approach to the problem by laying out
10,000 m2 of green roof vegetation to avoid flooding in the area,
built expansive green areas and improved the energy efficiency and
access to recycling facilities.
0 At Augustenborg Eco city , about 1 kilometer
from the city centre, is the world’s biggest
roof gardens.

8. District based projects
0 Ekostaden Augustenborg
0 BO01(City of tomorrow)
- western harbour
0 Solar cells in sege park
0 Hyllie- new city district
(energy efficient).

9. Ekostaden Augustenborg
0 Ekostaden Augustenborg(1998) is the collective name for a program
to make Augustenborg into a more socially, economically and
environmentally sustainable neighborhood.
0 It is one of Sweden´s largest urban sustainability projects, was
supported by the government´s Local Investment Programme and key
local partners within Malmö City.
0 Total 32hac, 3hac industrial area, 1800flats, 3000 residents.
0 Aim- to raise the profile of the area through an environmental urban
renewal.
0 Another aim of the project is to enable
residents to take a leading role in the
ideas, design and implementation of
the project. 9

0 Sustainable measures-
1.Open rainwater runoff system,
2.Green outdoor environment,
3.Reduction of waste,
4.Sustainable building,
5.Energy saving,
6.Mobility.
0 9500 m2 green roofs erected
in the industrial area retain the
rainwater, and has become the Augustenborg botanical roof garden.
0 Results-
1.open runoff system has solved the flooding problem, 70% water retained.
2. waste leaving the area reduced by 70%.
3. housing to elderly people is provided.
4. residents started a carpool by their own initiative.
5. employment rate risen since1997 from 35% to 48%.
6. migration reduced from 28% to 10%.

11. BO01- An ecological city of tomorrow
11
0 In Malmö, a sustainable district has grown up in the wake of the
Bo01 housing exhibition.
0 The housing exhibition site has since developed into the district
known as Bo01 (Live01) where the emphasis for the town planners
has been on high-quality permanent housing solutions, architectural
diversity and urban spaces.
0 Malmö's inhabitants have already embraced the district which has
become one of the city's most popular excursion spots.
0 The objective is for the district to be a leading international example
of environmental adaptation and social sustainability in a densely
built-up area.
0 It is hoped that Bo01 will strengthen sustainable growth in western
harbour and Malmö as a whole.

12. 12
0 Consumption of resources in Bo01 is minimized.
0 Solar panels on the roofs supply a fifth of the heat, the remainder
coming from thermal heating and Malmö's existing, super-efficient
district heating system.
0 Recyclable and organic materials are sorted and contribute to
energy production by the city's biogas plant.
0 The residents of Bo01 are encouraged regularly to check their
energy consumption on information panels installed in each home.
0 Paths and cycle tracks have been given high-priority.
0 Over the last 10 years, the municipality has transformed the island
from a polluted industrial area to an environment-conscious
district with homes, businesses and recreational areas.
0 A fundamentally sustainable approach to planning of the building
instructions has been key in the creation of the district.

14. Solar cells in SegePark
0 Sege Park in Malmö, completed in summer 2007, features the largest
photovoltaic plant in Sweden, consisting of 1250 square meters of
solar cells with a peak power of 166 kW.
0 A total of 15 PV-plants have been installed on official buildings like
schools, museums and hospitals.
0 It is also planned that this neighborhood, featuring a former hospital,
will also become an environmentally sustainable city district.
0 The City of Malmö, together with Skåne Energy
Agency and Solar Region plan to develop the
region into the leading Nordic region in terms
of production of solar energy.

15. Energy efficient buildings
0 A preschool in Southern Malmö is the municipality´s first low-
energy preschool, an important pilot project for the construction of
future municipal buildings.
0 The preschool´s walls are a half meter thick, using dense materials
whist energy consumption for water heating is limited to 70 kWh
per square meter per year.
0 In the Western Harbour development, Flagghusen, two low energy
houses have been built without traditional heating system.
0 This trend continues to be interesting
in both the Western Harbour and Hyllie
developments from the perspective
of the municipality and building firms.

16. Vastra hamnen
0 140hac former industrial landfill area will house 30,000 residents,
students and workplaces.
0 Development on a 20 year perspective.

17. Flagghusen in Malmö´s Western Harbour
0 Flagghusen, the second large-scale urban development in the
Western Harbour, stresses environment, energy and quality
aspirations, whilst incorporating affordability- demonstrating that
sustainable construction does not have to be expensive.
0 650 new apartments.
0 In addition to affordability, stakeholders engaged in a new planning
process: the Creative Dialogue which facilitated discussion amongst
representatives of Malmö, together with property developers and
architects concerning sustainability themes and expectations.
0 Various firms and competitors, learned
to cooperate in order to build a more
attractive and sustainable
neighborhood district.

18. The Environmental Building Programme
South
0 This programme utilizes a standardized classification system to
compare building criteria, similar to eco-labeling schemes for
electronics.
0 City of Malmö's Environmental Programme(1998-2002), have four
main goals:
• Sweden's most climate friendly city
• Malmö- the city of the future
• Sustainable use of natural resources
• It´s easy to do the right thing in Malmö.
0 Acc. to the Environmental Programme
City of Malmö will in the year 2020 be
climate neutral and by 2030 the whole
municipality will run on 100% renewable energy. 18

19. Biodiversity
0 Green space factor
0 Local rain water management in open spaces.
0 Habitats and new parks.
0 Compensation habitat for birds.
0 Courtyard is built with naturalistic biotopes.
0 Part of courtyard left to grow by natural
succession.
0 Semi-natural habitats created in parks.

20. Is Malmö sustainability for real?
0 Yes. When industry left Malmö to its fate
the city started building for the future at
Western Harbour.
0 This former heavily polluted industrial area has been regenerated into
an attractive residential and business district that runs on renewable
energy, has low energy housing and living green roofs.
0 If anywhere in Malmö symbolizes the city’s transformation into a
sustainable city it is Western Harbour.
0 Malmö is a fantastic city to cycle in, it’s pancake flat and compact and
has some 420 km of bike lane for you to enjoy.
0 As well as its sustainable and environmental smarts Western Harbour
faces the gorgeous Öresund Sound and is fronted by an attractive
boardwalk. 20

21. Systemic and lifestyle changes
0 Low-energy schools and houses that are so well insulated that body
heat keeps them warm.
0 96% recycling rate; what cannot be reused is burned in a waste-to-
energy facility for district heating.
0 Buses run on biogas.
0 Vacuum garbage removal system.
0 Green Roofs.
0 Open storm water management.
0 Organic gardening in the middle of the city.
0 Sensors on traffic lights detect bicycles and adjust for them.
