LCCF was developed under the Green Township Project. It was endorsed as government tool to facilitate the development of Low Carbon Cities in Malaysia, which based on actual performance of carbon reduction.
Eco City Development towards Developing Low Carbon SocietyMD. SAIDUR RAHMAN
This presentation focuses on eco-city development initiatives in developing countries towards developing low carbon society. Rapid urbanization in developing countries may be the most significant demographic transformation in our century as it restructures national economies and reshapes the lives of billions of people. At the same time, urbanization has also contributed to environmental and socioeconomic challenges, including climate change, pollution, congestion, and the rapid growth of slums. But as a major style of residential environment, city, has been endowed new contents by new ideas ever emerged in the history and eco-city development has emerged as a way to address climate change issues in the context of developing sustainable cities in developing countries. Eco-cities have the potential to address many of the problems like climate change and socio-economic aspects associated with urban development, as does the concept of sustainable development in an urban setting. Drawing on lessons learned from the planning and development process of several low-carbon eco-cities, this paper explores the potential of an integrated urbanism approach for developing countries. The objective is not only to mitigate factors contributing to climate change, but to manage risk, maximize resilience, and promote the successful economic and social growth of the urban eco community in developing countries. An integrated urbanism approach to planning may give us the tools to leapfrog the environmental and public health costs of economic progress and create a new model for cities across the developing world.
This webinar is intended to show how a “Smart Cities” approach contributes to achieving the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) of countries and the reversal of Climate Change.
Urban growth, sustainability and needs for a greener life, are driving the requirement to make cities smarter, more efficient, and sustainable for their residents. The context is extremely challenging; characterized by growing commitments, limited resources aggravated by the COVID -19 pandemic.
Energy, Mobility, Building & Construction, Water & Waste Management assisted by New Technologies are the evolving battlefields of “Smart Cities,” as they strive to achieve the ambitious targets of a greener environment.
In this webinar Yohan Abrahams will show how Transport for London (TFL) pursues these objectives in the UK Capital, followed by Mark Cannata who will explain how Kassandra; a multi-dimensional research and design approach, is helping to take a whole-system view of the historic urban environment.

Adapting Cities - Implementing research in practiceKit England
Presentation given to the ARCC assembly on 11th June by Kit England, Nick Grayson and Kate Cochrane, on behalf of Core Cities, Newcastle City Council, Birmingham City Council and Bristol City Council
The presentation was illustrated at the CEEM CoP Webinar: “Achieving Low Carbon Mobility: Urban Transportation Modelling, Public Awareness and Behavioural Change" on tge 10th of October 2013
CEEM CoP stands for Community Energy and Emissions Modelling (CEEM) Community of Practice (CoP).
CEEM CoP is an informal group supporting CEEM practitioners and local governments in furthering greenhouse gas modelling, target-setting and action in communities across BC – www.toolkit.bc.ca/ceem
Mobility is an important part of daily life. Progressive community planning and transportation design can greatly reduce the need for automobile travel, instead providing a diverse range of active transportation alternatives.
This presentation on the CATCH project looks at how transportation-related data can be used to understand a city’s travel footprint and help to inform city planning and programs to promote individual behaviour change.
It reviews the findings and lessons learned from the ‘CATCH Project’ (Carbon Aware Travel Choice): a 2 million euro-funded project, involving 11 partners across 6 European Union countries, aimed to develop a knowledge platform to help urban communities move to less carbon-intensive transportation systems. This presentation touches on the important role of developing a system to compare and contrast best practices, identify the many motivators for change to low carbon mobility, and use tools for engaging the public and decision makers to support innovation and change.
EIP Water Action Group City Blueprints September 2013EIP Water
The City Blueprint for Water is a baseline assessment of the sustainability of water management in a city (or other dominantly urban region). The result allows a city to quickly understand how advanced it is in sustainable water management and enables it to compare its status with other leading cities.
This project is one of nine Action Groups selected by the European Commission as an initial EIP Water Action Group.
Sixteen cities/regions have participated so far (August 2013) and many others are being approached. This is an opportunity to take part in a new and innovative programme to help improve city-level water stewardship, in the spirit of smart and sustainable cities.
The basic output is a simple radar chart as shown in the example from Melbourne at the top of this page. The chart provides a quick visual representation of the city’s water stewardship status, and is a tool for easy comparison between cities. It covers 24 key water-related subject areas, such as water footprint, water scarcity, water quality, drinking water availability and wastewater management.
A City Blueprint is just the first step on a journey of communication and cooperation between cities. A key intention is to encourage cities to share their best practices with others, and for all to improve. A website will be developed to facilitate this. All cities are different. Some are advanced in a few or many subject areas. Some have much work to do. The aim is not to highlight failings, but instead to help a city identify areas of focus for improvement, and to learn from the best practices of others, as well as demonstrating and sharing their own best practices.

Jay Pather presents on Cape Town public art festival Infecting the CityCape Town Partnership
Jay Pather presents on the Cape Town public art festival, Infecting the City: Public art has always been part of who we are on this continent and in this country. The interconnectedness of the African “us” has often been impeded however, throwing people apart and far away from each other, creating a physical and psychic separation. Infecting the City is a small attempt at igniting this interconnectedness through artistic expression, making public space public.

7. Example Policies and Measures
• Energy Supply
Low-carbon electricity
• Building Energy
Retrofit disclosure requirements and financing
• Transportation
Vehicle charges & public transport
Combined transport and land use planning
9. Energy Supply –Examples
• Seattle (USA) has a public
electricity utility, Seattle City Light
Divested in coal in 2000
Committed to carbon neutral
electricity in future (but starts from
>90% hydro)
• Cities tied to national / regional
grids have it harder; common
strategy is to focus on distributed
local generation
Sydney goal of capacity for 100%
local electricity generation by 2030
with GHG reductions of 70%
London goal of 25% by 2025

Disclosure Act 2010 (Australian
Government)
• Low interest bank loans
Secured by municipal charge on
the property (improvements and
charges stay with the building);
tenants contribute
