Copenhagen – a pioneer in sustainable urban development
Urban planners are Steen Eiler Rasmussen ,Christian Erhardt “Peter” Bredsdorff and Jan Gehl.
In 2014, Copenhagen won the prestigious European Green Capital award, presented by the European Commission, which recognizes efforts to improve the urban environment, the economy and the quality of life. The city was chosen as “a good model in terms of urban planning and design” and especially for its work as a “transport pioneer.”
Copenhagen is recognized as one of the most environmentally friendly cities in the world
Commercial and residential buildings are to reduce electricity consumption by 20 percent and 10 percent respectively
Copenhagen has ranked high in international surveys for its quality of life.
Park Acreage: 6,143
Park acreage per 1000 residents: 1.2 Acres
Copenhagen reacted with a Climate Adaptation Plan to improve the city’s defenses against water and extreme weather. Among the actions being taken are the building of dikes and better management of storm water.
The New Urbanism: Design Principles for Vibrant CommunitiesVierbicher
Much of the development that has occurred in Wisconsin and around the nation over the past 60 years has created a feeling of sameness from community to community. Our development pattern has separated uses from one another and catered to cars at the expense of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. The New Urbanism promotes the creation and restoration of diverse, walkable, compact, vibrant mixed-use communities built with integrated housing, employment, shops, and schools. It is a revival of the lost art of "placemaking" to raise our quality of life and standard of living by creating neighborhoods, not just subdivisions, and building main streets, not just shopping malls.

Presentation by Lauren Sager-Weinstein, Head of Analytics, Customer Experience at Transport for London delivered as part of the joint BCS DMSG/DAMA joint event on 18/6/15.
Video version on YouTube at http://youtu.be/ZXMFumjWv2I
Transport for London’s data by its very nature is big— with 45 million bus journeys and 25 million Tube journeys each week being measured along with a variety of transport system data. TfL uses big data tools to combine these data sets to provide insight to our operations and for a better customer experience.
Urban Logistics offers unique tailor-made solutions for the transport of goods in cities by consolidating & rationalizing the existing logistics platforms and creating innovative solutions for the future through the use of information and communication technologies.
Over the past two decades delivering goods into cities has become a challenge with cities getting overly congested and traffic jams resulting in expensive logistics bottlenecks. Studies show that the cost of congestion now in terms of time wasted in traffic and fuel consumption is off the roof, almost 200% more than what it was in the 1980s. Pollution, lack of parking bays, and warehousing costs are all restraints that are contributing to the economic cost of urban logistics.
This presentation, part of a class work of Erwan Le Roc'h, Antony Zouzout and Rémi Philippe at ESSEC will explore the possibilities and ideal mix for this kind of project.

Global launch of the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index 2nd wave – alongside...ILC- UK
The Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index is an online tool created by ILC that ranks countries on six metrics including, life span, health span, work span, income, environmental performance, and happiness. The Index helps us understand how well countries have adapted to longevity and inform decision makers on what must be done to maximise the economic benefits that comes with living well for longer.
Alongside the 77th World Health Assembly in Geneva on 28 May 2024, we launched the second version of our Index, allowing us to track progress and give new insights into what needs to be done to keep populations healthier for longer.
The speakers included:
Professor Orazio Schillaci, Minister of Health, Italy
Dr Hans Groth, Chairman of the Board, World Demographic & Ageing Forum
Professor Ilona Kickbusch, Founder and Chair, Global Health Centre, Geneva Graduate Institute and co-chair, World Health Summit Council
Dr Natasha Azzopardi Muscat, Director, Country Health Policies and Systems Division, World Health Organisation EURO

Redefining lifelong learning webinar presentation slides.pptxILC- UK
We know that we’re living longer, which means many people will also be working for longer. One in seven people over 65 are still employed in the UK, but we’re still seeing challenges in our labour markets.
According to the ILC’s Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index, the UK’s work span is only 31.5 years, ranking the UK 47th out of 121 countries. Skills shortages driven by demographic change are hitting all sectors of the UK’s economy: by 2030, we could see a shortage of 2.6 million workers. On the other hand, if UK employment rates for those aged 50 to 64 matched the rates of those aged 35 to 49, the country’s GDP would increase by more than 5%.
One way to improve work span and employment is through lifelong learning. However, in the UK, as the Learning and Work Institute’s Adult Participation in Learning survey showed, rates of learning continue to fall with age. In 2023, only 36% of people aged 55 to 64, 24% of those aged 65 to 74, and 17% of those aged 75 and over said that they’d taken part in any kind of learning in the past three years.
To better understand the approaches in other countries, we consulted with experts in lifelong learning, both from the UK and globally. ILC's report, in collaboration with Phoenix Insights, Redefining lifelong learning: lessons from across the globe considers the approaches taken in Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands and Sweden. While each country’s approach is different, and shaped by its wider cultural, political and economic context, there are some common threads including: learning culture; the range of learning opportunities on offer; levels of support and investment; and accessibility

Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index - Our impactILC- UK
This year, ILC-UK launched the Healthy Ageing and Prevention Index. This slide deck summarizes what we’ve achieved so far and sets out our plans for 2024 to continue to shape the agenda on global health.
Alongside the G20 Health Ministers’ meeting in Gandhinagar, India, in August, ILC-India and ILC-UK held a joint high-level side event to amplify the importance of healthy ageing and prevention among the G20.
Plugging the gap: Estimating the demand and supply of jobs by sector in 2030ILC- UK
The UK economy could see a shortfall of 2.6 million workers by 2030 – almost twice the workforce of the NHS – as a result of population ageing, the COVID pandemic and Brexit.
These shortfalls will affect the whole economy, with manufacturing, retail, construction, transport, health and social care among the sectors projected to be hardest hit.
To plug these gaps, Government must introduce a comprehensive Workforce Strategy looking at:
How to support people to stay in the workforce for longer, e.g. by supporting healthy workplaces, supporting carers and creating flexible conditions that suit people’s needs.
How to ameliorate childcare costs and reintegrate people into the workforce following timeout for caring or a health need
The role of migration and automation in addressing major workforce gaps

At this exclusive working lunch, we discussed the International Longevity Centre UK’s (ILC-UK) forthcoming report on vaccine confidence in Central & Eastern Europe (CEE).
During this event, we shared the findings from our policy publication on what we think should be the priorities for the G20 in India and the key messages we want to disseminate to ministers and world leaders. We heard from experts on the opportunities and challenges to engage India and the G20 with prevention and healthy ageing and identify further opportunities to maximise our engagement while at the G20 in September.

2. Key issues
• What is a 15-minute city?
• What does it look like?
• How might it work?
• Does it have practical value?
• Are there examples we can use?
2
3. What to look out for
• Scale is important - urban vs neighbourhood, macro vs micro (e.g.
retirement communities, university campuses)
• How transactions works e.g. You go to the shop or the shop comes
to you
• How you get around – car, public, bike, pram or walk makes a huge
difference
• Service hierarchies – every neighbourhood needs a GP but not an
opera house. Wheels within wheels.
• Nothing is fixed in perpetuity – the impact of the information
revolution (e.g. closure of bank branches)
3
4. What do 15-minute cities look like?
Example of hub-spoke-ring urban physical formats
(A) Catchment with a
5-minute radius with
one ring and spoke
situated on the ring
(B) A two-ring town with a
central business district and
5-sub-centres, 3 spokes and
fully nested catchments of
constant radius
(C) A nested 4-ring 10-
spoke city, a CBD with 5
sub-centres centres per
ring (20 in total) and a
fixed travel time radius
4
5. Impact of fast routes but with slower
local roads
(A) Equal speeds
on spokes and
rings
(B) Slower
speeds on local
roads
(C) Much slower
speeds on local roads
(impact of the 20mph
speed limit?)

• Developed to aid the post-war reconstruction
of London and to overcome inadequacies of
the transport system
• Conceived almost entirely around the motor
car
• Described as a giant cartwheel with 5 rings
and a central hub with three grades of road:
•Express arterial (motorways)
•Arterials
•Sub-arterials

10. 15-minute ‘cities' in towns & neighbourhoods
• In densely populated neighbourhoods walking and cycling tend to
dominate – ‘walking cities’ so catchments are smaller
• Optimal catchment areas will tend to regular hexagons if services are
evenly located (A) in a self-organising way and getting about is simple
e.g. no barriers such as railways or rivers
• If there are local variations in travel speeds such as in small towns
hexagons adjust in size (B)
• Various services typify the day-time local neighbourhood economy:
Primary schools, childcare, pharmacies, letter-boxes, small shops and
cafes, and bus-stops
• But what is provided depends also on the population density in each
catchment to achieve the necessary footfall
• Libraries, health centres, emergency services tend to be at a meso-scale
& catchment radii are greater, so 5, 10, 15+ minute cities can co-exist

15. Discussion
• How useful is the concept of 15-
minute cities?
• If it is useful how to make it happen
and what are the barriers?
• Is information technology an enabler
or a barrier?
• How do we engage with policy-
makers and who is the audience?
• What else should we be looking at
that’s relevant to this e.g. housing? Aerial view of Whiteley retirement
