The Covenant of Mayors is an EU policy framework involving over 3,600 signatory cities committed to reaching the EU's 20% energy and climate targets by 2020. Over 157 million EU citizens are involved in the initiative. Cities have submitted over 1,182 Sustainable Energy Action Plans outlining 142 million tons of potential CO2 reductions and €40 billion in planned investments. Case studies show energy efficiency and renewable energy measures in buildings can drive significant CO2 and energy savings, as well as local job growth and cost savings for residents and businesses.
The document discusses several strategies for managing development pressures at the rural-urban fringe:
1) New towns can be built to relieve overcrowding in cities and encourage industries, with the goal of making them self-contained communities.
2) Green belts of farmland and green space can be established around cities to contain urban sprawl, although development sometimes still occurs beyond green belts.
3) Special habitats can be protected through designation as Sites of Special Scientific Interest to prevent development.
4) Redeveloping city centers and brownfield sites can encourage growth in urban areas and reduce pressures at the fringe.
Self-consumption of renewable energy provides key benefits to both consumers and the energy system. Storage and distributed generation are complementary and allow for increased self-sufficiency and better demand management at the local level. However, Spain's recent regulation blocks the potential of self-consumption by imposing limits and fees. A stable, long-term policy is needed at both the EU and national levels to empower consumers, promote renewable energy development, and transition to sustainable energy systems through measures like net billing and incentives for battery storage.
Clive Dutton - City of Birmingham - Innovate to Regenerate: Birmingham Smart ...Shane Mitchell
Birmingham, once a leader of the Industrial Revolution, faced major job losses during the 1980s recession as manufacturing declined. It is now focusing on innovation to regenerate as a "Smart City" through its Birmingham Smart Living initiative. This initiative aims to develop homes that are sustainable, energy efficient, connected, and designed for recycling/waste management using local renewable and recycled materials. Key aspects of the initiative include building prototype developments, exploring new technologies and their applications, and establishing partnerships between the city, universities, and other organizations to further develop and commercialize the Smart Living concept.
How do you envision the city of the future?Dick Jenkins
Future cities will be divided into two main sectors: industrial cities and livable cities. Industrial cities will be completely secluded and focused on production, using environmental security procedures, high-tech automation, and robotics. Livable cities will have a green infrastructure using parks and gardens, sustainable energy and water systems, and smart wireless technology to improve life for residents. Intermediate zones will connect the two city types and allow access in emergencies. The future of cities requires balancing industrial progress with protecting society.
This is the main issue of countries all over the world: CO2 emissions and air pollution in urban areas have reached a critical level in recent years.
Cities are now taking action, preventing polluting transport to access to their centre. E-commerce acceleration, 1-day delivery, a local network of distribution sites. As a distributor, we already set up solutions to deliver our customers until the last mile. Today, we go further, developing a more responsible delivery and keeping a high service rate to reach all of our clients, whatever their needs, wherever they are.
The document envisions several aspects of sustainable and technologically advanced cities of the future, including more efficient transportation systems like "concept roads" with intelligent traffic lights and pavement sensors to inform drivers; green illumination solutions like phosphorescent trees and data-driven lighting; intelligent public transportation accessed through mobile apps; futuristic homes with extensive automation and energy saving features; and retail stores utilizing data collection and self-service models. Overall, the future city is projected to be defined by new technologies, sustainability, intelligent infrastructure, and energy efficiency.
Cities have become the primary habitat for humans with more than fifty percent of the global population now living in them. The biocity model considers the city as a bionic biotope, a connected web of ten macro systems that can be used for integrated planning to help cities adapt to modern challenges.

Urban areas in more economically developed countries (MEDC) developed due to migration to cities during the industrial revolution and natural population increase. People moved to cities to work in factories, living in dense, low-quality housing near industrial areas. As cities expanded, wealthier residents moved farther from factories due to pollution, while public housing was built closer to industrial areas. Urban growth has led to the establishment of different residential zones, as described by the Burgess and Hoyt urban models which analyze land use competition in cities.
This document discusses the Green Deal on Smart Energy Cities in the Netherlands. It outlines the transformation of the energy supply system from centralized to localized by 2050. The Green Deal involves 5 cities, grid operators, and the Ministry of Economic Affairs working with companies and educational institutions on energy innovations. The phases of cooperation are described, including 12 kickstart projects in the first phase to test innovations in areas like data use, smart grids, energy solutions for users, and legislation. The document emphasizes empowering "smart energy citizens" and increasing the power of the consumer through energy collectives.

Blair Sergeant discusses three of the greenest cities in the world, and what qualifies them for the title, in addition to their plans to continue upholding this honor.
This document is Hamburg's application for the title of European Green Capital. It summarizes Hamburg's environmental challenges as a major city and port, and its approaches to addressing these challenges through initiatives like promoting compact urban growth, partnerships with industry, sustainable port operations, and ambitious climate protection goals. It proposes that being named the first European Green Capital would allow Hamburg to showcase its solutions and share best practices throughout Europe using an traveling exhibition train.
Montreal is the second city in North America to develop carsharing after it began in 1995. Currently there are over 1100 cars in Montreal's carsharing system, including 400 electric vehicles and hybrids. If all personal cars in Montreal's metropolitan region were shared, it is estimated that 18-37% of vehicles, approximately 210,000-540,000 cars, could be eliminated. Households that use carsharing in Montreal drive their personal vehicles 4 times less and use bikes and transit more. The presentation proposes a plan to add 1000 electric vehicles to Montreal's carsharing fleet over the next 5 years and expand the public charging network.

Thisted Municipality is a copybook example of local drive and initiative. That’s why it is also the cleanest municipality in Denmark.
Over 100 per cent of power consumption and more than 80 per cent of heat consumption is catered for without the use of fossil fuels.
The renewable energy comes from sun, wind, geothermal power and biomass. So success is the result of versatility and an intelligent use of already existing technologies.
In 2007, Thisted Municipality was awarded the European Solar Prize for its work on utilising renewable energy.
Dr Stephan Winters - Connecting With The Future: A Greener HamburgShane Mitchell
The document outlines Hamburg's plan to become a more sustainable and green city through reducing CO2 emissions, improving energy efficiency in buildings, advancing sustainable transportation, rethinking building design, developing the city sustainably, and greening information and communication technology (ICT). The plan includes reducing CO2 emissions 20% by 2012 and 40% by 2020 compared to 1990 levels through over 170 climate protection measures. Hamburg aims to reinvent itself as an energy efficient city through retrofitting buildings, decentralized renewable energy, and efficient district heating networks.

The history of the automobile began in 1769 with the creation of steam-powered vehicles for human transport. In 1806, the first internal combustion engine vehicles running on gas appeared, leading to the widespread use of gasoline-fueled engines in 1885. Electric vehicles briefly emerged around 1900 but declined until the late 20th century, and different eras were defined by the dominant propulsion methods of the time as well as trends in design, size, and utility preferences.

Vertical cities are proposed as a solution to issues caused by rapid urbanization. A vertical city consists of multi-story buildings 30 to 100 stories tall that house work and residential spaces. This reduces the need for urban sprawl and preserves green spaces while providing all necessary infrastructure like transportation and utilities in a small area. As more of the world's population moves to cities, high-density vertical cities will be important to accommodate growth, especially in small, land-constrained nations. They reduce commuting times and energy use through more efficient vertical travel like elevators. Researchers are exploring how robotic fabrication could impact high-rise design and construction to support sustainable vertical cities of the future.

This document discusses car sharing and the collaborative economy. It notes that the sharing economy is based on access rather than ownership of assets like time, space and skills. Regarding car sharing specifically, it provides statistics on car sharing programs in various cities, including that one car sharing vehicle can replace up to 10 privately owned cars. It advocates for cities and public transit agencies to actively support car sharing through strategies like prioritizing charging infrastructure for electric shared vehicles and integrating car sharing into urban development plans.
This document summarizes lessons learned from four successful community heating schemes in the UK. It discusses engaging carefully with residents through home visits and information days to gain support. It also suggests considering alternative energy sources, like solar energy used for a 137-flat development in Kingston that reduced emissions. Additionally, it recommends off-site production of boiler systems to minimize downtime during upgrades. Finally, it advises designing schemes with the potential for expansion to surrounding areas.
Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya, founded in 1899 as a train depot. It has grown around its Central Business District (CBD), which is the most important part of the city and home to landmarks like City Hall and Parliament Building. While the CBD is modern and home to many international businesses, it faces problems of high rents driving people to live elsewhere, traffic congestion, and pollution. The city government is taking steps to address these issues by decentralizing the CBD and improving public transportation.

Towards a post carbon society ? The new citizen uses for the Living City Over...Carlos Moreno
This document discusses the transition to a post-carbon society and sustainable cities. It notes that human population and urbanization have increased dramatically since 1950. Cities now account for over 70% of global energy consumption and CO2 emissions. The document outlines Paris' climate plan to transition to renewable energy sources and reduce carbon emissions in the building, transportation, and agriculture sectors by a factor of 4 by 2050 through projects like solar power installations and geothermal energy plants. It emphasizes that an inclusive, multi-sector approach is needed to mobilize all city actors in implementing short, medium, and long-term transition actions.
This document discusses the challenges facing human smart cities in the 21st century. As human populations continue to urbanize and concentrate in high density metropolitan areas, cities face issues related to quality of life, identity, and resilience against economic, social, ecological, and cultural challenges. The rise of digital technologies that cross all aspects of modern life pose new issues for cities to address, such as modeling urban infrastructure and services, and placing citizens' needs and experiences at the center. Smart cities will need hybrid digital-physical platforms and services to help address mobility, security, and other territorial safety issues, while promoting social integration, inclusion, and quality of life for citizens.

CAKE: Sharing Slices of Confidential Data on BlockchainClaudio Di Ciccio
Presented at the CAiSE 2024 Forum, Intelligent Information Systems, June 6th, Limassol, Cyprus.
Synopsis: Cooperative information systems typically involve various entities in a collaborative process within a distributed environment. Blockchain technology offers a mechanism for automating such processes, even when only partial trust exists among participants. The data stored on the blockchain is replicated across all nodes in the network, ensuring accessibility to all participants. While this aspect facilitates traceability, integrity, and persistence, it poses challenges for adopting public blockchains in enterprise settings due to confidentiality issues. In this paper, we present a software tool named Control Access via Key Encryption (CAKE), designed to ensure data confidentiality in scenarios involving public blockchains. After outlining its core components and functionalities, we showcase the application of CAKE in the context of a real-world cyber-security project within the logistics domain.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
