This document provides a timeline of industrial symbiosis from the 1800s to present day. It notes that in the 1800s, many industries would utilize waste from other industries as raw materials. The term "industrial symbiosis" was first coined in 1947 to describe relationships between dissimilar industries exchanging byproducts. Significant examples of industrial symbiosis developed between large industries located in Kalundborg, Denmark starting in 1959 and in Kwinana, Western Australia in the 1950s. The concept has since inspired eco-industrial parks and synergistic relationships between firms seeking economic and environmental benefits through industrial cooperation.

The document discusses the landscape and infrastructure of Bergen, Norway. It notes that Bergen is situated in a hilly landscape surrounded by mountains, and has historically been an important harbor city. However, over the 20th century the city's development prioritized private car infrastructure, leading to urban sprawl. The document advocates for increasing local food production, public transportation alternatives to cars, and densifying development around light rail stops to reduce the ecological footprint of the city's future inhabitants.

This document discusses landscape and land use in Bergen, Norway. It notes that Bergen is situated on the west coast and has historically been an important harbor. It describes Bergen's hilly topography, which causes its humid climate as air is pushed up the mountainsides. The document states that Bergen municipality encompasses 465.68 square km, with 50% above 160 meters in elevation and 4.4% as freshwater. Urban areas cover 108.5 square km or 23.3% of the total municipality area. Bergen has a population of 267,860 spread across eight boroughs.
This document provides an overview of Laura Ve's master's diploma project focused on alternative legacy recipes and a food/architecture crossover. The project explores planning for more sustainable communities through short-traveled, local food production and an artisan agricultural economy. It discusses concepts like ecological footprints, ecosystem services, and building a "sitopia" or "foodplace" through urban agriculture integrated with the urban infrastructure. The goal is to raise awareness of food systems and cycles through education and making the processes of growing, harvesting, processing and consuming food more visible in urban planning.
GET OVER IT_competition Strømsø,Drammen_2010Laura Ve
This document discusses the Strømsø district of Drammen, Norway. It notes that the district is separated from the rest of the city by railway tracks and lacks connectivity. It has a high density of parking lots and vehicles but lacks public spaces. The document advocates getting past these issues to explore new perspectives and ideas that could create a unified, connected urban district with high quality public spaces along the waterfront.
Role models can influence communities to adopt more environmentally friendly habits. Regulations and community norms also shape behavior. Changing perceptions of nature from an integrated part of the world to an object dominated by humans contributed to current environmental problems. Making sustainable choices easier through accessible community design could help shift habits.
The document discusses plans to transform Malmø, Sweden by creating a network of blue-green corridors throughout the city. This "blue-green web" would use vegetation and soil to cleanse rainwater before it enters the ocean. It would strategically connect parks and other green spaces to better manage increasing urban runoff in a sustainable way. Most importantly, the blue-green web is intended to create new social experiences for residents by connecting urban public spaces in an easy to navigate structure that incorporates unexpected areas for interaction.
This document summarizes a micro-urbanism project conducted by students from the Bergen School of Architecture in Voss, Norway in October 2007. The students investigated public spaces in Voss, including the old town square called the allmenning and nearby backstreets. One group focused their intervention on a tree located at the intersection of the allmenning and a backstreet. They explored the relationship between official streets and backstreets in Voss and how activities in the backstreets contribute to social interaction. The document includes sketches of the city and public spaces in Voss.
The document discusses potential topics for a diploma work related to urban development along the light rail in Bergen, Norway. It mentions several areas like Wergeland, Tors vei, and Skjold that will experience changes as the light rail expands. The document considers looking at background processes, how inhabitants will live in developed areas, and ensuring socially and environmentally sustainable places through qualified decision-making. Storm water management, accessibility, green spaces, and microclimates are mentioned as potential focus areas. Developing scenarios and further planning one selected area based on utopian ideas is proposed as an approach.
The document discusses new approaches to urban planning based on open networks and rhizomatic thinking rather than traditional hierarchical structures. It proposes developing planning as an open-ended and continuously evolving web of knowledge and processes, allowing unlimited input from citizens and professionals. This more elastic approach maps social and urban phenomena through "lines of flight" that transgress norms and trace becomings rather than representing fixed realities. It aims to make planning operations receptive to diverse voices and new ideas emerging at the intersections of information.
Universal Design Rethinking Barriers To Quality Of LifeLaura Ve
The document discusses universal design and accessibility. It defines universal design as designing products and environments to be usable by all people to the greatest extent possible without need for adaptation. The accessibility triangle is introduced, which distinguishes between people with severe disabilities, mobility impairments, and minor disabilities. The summary discusses considerations for planning and design like mobility, vision, hearing, and more. Examples of accessibility in travel, cities, and streetscapes are provided. The use of color, light, tactility, acoustics, and healthy materials are also covered.
The document discusses how natural resources and ecosystems are essential for economic activity, quality of life, and social cohesion. It notes that while economies rely on environments, environments can exist without economies. Traditional societies have long understood that nature has limits and its own rules. The rapid loss of forests, wetlands, coral reefs, and mangroves in recent decades due to human activities like agriculture, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change is threatening biodiversity. The rate of species extinction is now estimated to be 1,000 times higher than the natural background rate. Proper valuation of natural systems and planning of green infrastructure in cities is important to support future sustainability and resilience.
The document discusses industrial symbiosis occurring in Kalundborg, Denmark between multiple companies and the local municipality. Over decades, 20 projects have spontaneously developed where companies exchange residual products in a mutually beneficial way. New projects are ongoing with a new member joining in 2009. The overall goal is improved environmental standards through efficiency gains from utilizing by-products. The symbiosis is built as a network cooperation where companies exploit each other's residuals on a commercial basis, reducing resource consumption and environmental impacts while also providing financial benefits through business agreements.
