An Overview, Notes and Resources
By Arun Kumar Mishra
Chief Engineer - UPSIDC

2. SUSTAINABLE
DEVELOPMENT ?
Development that meets the needs of the present
without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs
The Bruntland Commission
Year 1987

3. WHY IT MATTERS
Without the essential services provided

4. EXAMPLES OF DEVELOPMENT
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
-> Sustainable cities
-> Eco-industrial parks

5. SUSTAINABLE CITIES
A sustainable city considers the natural environment in its design and aims
to reduce the input of energy, water and other resources, as well as
minimizing the generation of waste and other environmental disturbances.

6. SUSTAINABLE CITY
EXAMPLE :: VITORIA-GASTEIZ

7. VITORIA-GASTEIZ - SPAIN
 Implemented policy of mixed land use
 Policy of high density development along its major transport routes.
 Advance and upgraded public transport system to support more population to
concentrate along these high density circuits.
 This approach leaves green belts still provide habitat for wildlife and recreational
areas for people.
 The city has a high proportion of green public areas, ensuring that the entire
population lives within 300m of an open green space

8. SUSTAINABILITY FOCUS: WATER
CONSERVATION
Vitoria-Gasteiz has an ambitious objective of reducing domestic water
consumption to below 100 litres per capita per day. Already today, water
consumption has decreased steadily from 1999 to 2009.

9. FAST FACTS: VITORIA-GASTEIZ
In 2005, the “Sustainability Observatory of Vitoria-Gasteiz” was created to promote
sustainable development at local level in a holistic way.
Since 2007, Vitoria-Gasteiz has participated in the working group of Ekitalde, with
the other two Capital cities of the Basque Country (Bilbao and San Sebastian) in order
to introduce GPP procurement criteria
Since 2008 the use of public transport in Vitoria-Gasteiz has increased by 44
percent
The city's 2010-2020 Plan against Climate Change - aims to reduce 25 percent of
the greenhouse gas emissions in the next eight years
More than 12,000 schoolchildren have joined the ‘Adopt a tree and grow with it’

10. ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARKS
Areas where industries are placed together to co-operatively manage the use of
resources and environmental impacts caused by their operations. By sharing
resources they improve efficiency and create less waste.

11. ECO-INDUSTRIAL PARK
::KALUNDBORG, DENMARK

12. WHAT IS SO SPECIAL
This eco-industrial park has a number of
businesses that utilize the by-products of other
manufacturers. The waste created by a power
station in the park is used to make cement by
another firm. Other businesses use heat generated
by the power plant and cement factory for some of
their processes.
Kalundborg was the first example of separate industries grouping together to
gain competitive advantage by material exchange, energy exchange, information
exchange, and/or product exchange. The very term, Industrial Symbiosis (IS) was
first defined by a station manager in Kalundborg as "a cooperation between
different industries by which the presence of each…increases the viability of the
others, and by which the demans of society for resource savings and
environmental protection are considered

13. OTHER EXAMPLES
In America, Interface Inc., a major carpet tile producer has greatly improved
its ecological footprint. By using recycled and more environmentally friendly
products, and more efficient manufacturing processes, they have reduced
their energy and water consumption. The levels of waste, particularly
hazardous waste have also been greatly reduced.
