The document outlines an agenda for a session on sustainable cities, including speaker presentations on case studies of overcoming barriers to sustainable solutions in cities. Some of the case studies discussed include a project in an unnamed city between the environment department, Cisco and citizens, challenges around density and transport in Barcelona vs Atlanta, and sustainable practices for the Shanghai World Expo. The session aims to examine technologies, stakeholders, barriers to adoption of sustainable technologies, and examples of overcoming barriers.
In June 2009, Jeju Island Smart Grid Project was conducted by 170 private companies with a budget of approximately $200 million. Its test-bed has become one of the world’s largest smart grid communities that allows for the testing of advanced smart grid technologies and R&D results, as well as the development of business models. The project serves as the founda-tion for the commercialization and industrial export of smart grid technologies. It is expected to greatly contribute to strengthening Korea’s position as a leader in the global smart grid in-dustry, by presenting the lessons and solutions learned from the test bed.
Written in partnership with The Climate Group, Accenture and Horizon, University of Nottingham, this report investigates how technology can be used in cities to meet the growing challenges of expanding urbanisation.

Webinar series: Public engagement, education and outreach for carbon capture ...Global CCS Institute
The public engagement, education and outreach for CCS Webinar Series kicked off this September with a stellar opportunity to join three international public engagement experts, as they reflected on the key research findings and lessons learned from over 10 years of social research and project engagement experience.
World-renowned social researcher and IEAGHG Social Research Network Chair Peta Ashworth started the discussion by setting out her key lessons learned, and what future challenges and opportunities she perceives for public engagement with CCS.
An expert panel made up of Sarah Wade, Environmental Regulation and Policy Consultant and Coordinator of the Outreach Working Group for the US Department of Energy Regional Carbon Sequestration Partnership Initiative, and Norm Sacuta, Communication Manager at the Petroleum Technology Research Centre and Director of Communications for the IEAGHG Weyburn-Midale CO2 Monitoring and Storage Project, then discussed these conclusions and their own experiences of engaging the public, before opening the Webinar up to questions from the audience.
This entire Webinar Series has been designed to hear directly from the experts and project practitioners researching and delivering public engagement, education and outreach best practice for CCS.
This first Webinar combined elements of social research with real world application and discussion, showcasing important learnings, and concluding with links to further publications and resources for those wishing to learn more.
Insufficient or inadequate infrastructure—and the resulting congestion, power outages, and lack of access to safe water and roads—is a global concern. Typically, the debate about the growing need for infrastructure focuses on whether financing is sufficient to meet it. But, in fact, there are clear ways to create more and better infrastructure for less.

A report done by the Dr. Ioan CIUMANSU on Eco-Cities for the International Master students from UVSQ for their research work on "Railway Station and the City". Report describes how different angle of innovation describes the Sustainability and Eco-Innovation means to the project. The three proposed themes was as follows; Multi-Innovation, Climate Change and Technology.

3. Aims of Session
1. What technology is available now - we set the scene briefly to display the vast
array of sustainable solutions available from an ICT technology perspective
2. Who are the players – we will examine who are the players and the
stakeholders in the eco-system of the development and operation of cities and
what are their roles and aims
3. What are the barriers & how are they overcome – we will examine the barriers
to adoption of the various sustainable technologies that can be applied, by way
of case study examinations and where a barrier to adoption was overcome by
innovative, and ultimately, practicable and financeable strategies and solutions
4. Where are the examples of barriers being overcome?
