KA6414_Sustainable Urban Design - Stockholm City
The document summarizes information about the sustainable urban planning of Stockholm, Sweden. Stockholm has a population of over 2 million people and is known for its natural beauty and architecture. The city's 1999 plan focuses on sustainable development through brownfield redevelopment and densification along public transit lines. A green map was also created to define a network of parks and green spaces throughout the city. The plan aims to make Stockholm a sustainable city by reusing existing land and transforming former industrial areas.
sustainable urban city of Stockholm
The Stockholm City Plan from 1999 outlines the city's strategy to develop sustainably through building inward on previously developed land. The main goals are to enhance the green structure, develop urban areas on the inner city edge like Kista Science City, and redevelop former industrial areas like Hammarby Sjostad through mixed-use and transit-oriented development. Public participation was an important part of creating the plan to guide Stockholm's growth in a way that preserves its natural and cultural qualities.

Cost overrun of marina bay sands, Singapure
The Marina Bay Sands project in Singapore experienced a significant cost overrun of 58.42%, with the final project cost reaching $8 billion compared to the initial estimate of $3.85 billion. Major factors for the cost overrun included construction delays, bankruptcy of subcontractors, heavy rainfall, and inflation. This almost caused the owner, Las Vegas Sands Corporation, to go bankrupt. While the cost overrun negatively impacted profits, through additional investments and improved project management, Marina Bay Sands is now profitable and earns over $1 billion annually.

DESIGN FOLIO snapshot
This document summarizes a final year project that proposes redeveloping a series of old warehouses under the Sydney Harbour Bridge into a mixed-use development called "the urban commune." The project features a variety of residential and commercial uses integrated to foster community. It aims to activate the surrounding streetscape and support an integrated model of urban living. The conceptual approach treats the project like a micro-town within a building, with a central "main street" connecting uses and promoting interaction between new communities and existing neighborhoods.

The document discusses the redevelopment of brownfield sites in four locations:
1) Bristol Harbourside in Bristol, UK which transformed a 65-acre docklands site into a mixed-use waterfront development.
2) Canary Wharf in London, UK which revived 97 acres of docklands into one of the world's largest financial centers.
3) Dockside Green in Victoria, Canada which is converting a 15-acre industrial site into a sustainable community achieving high LEED certifications.
4) Dublin Docklands in Ireland which redeveloped 1,300 acres including docklands into a business center increasing employment.
PPD 531 Council for Watershed
The presentation evaluated two potential sites for the Council for Watershed Health's new headquarters: Block 20 and Block 48/49. Block 20 is located near the LA River and Metro Gold Line in an industrial area known as an "art haven". The vision for Block 20's headquarters included rehabilitating the historic building, adding bioswales for rainwater capture, and developing community spaces. It was seen as an opportunity to demonstrate sustainable redevelopment of an existing building and engage the local artist community.

- 2. Quarry Hill, Leeds We are progressing detailed proposals for this major new Residential and Office/Leisure quarter in Leeds. The mixed use philosophy of Quarry Hill will provide a range of uses including prestigious offices, restaurants and city living with further environmental and social benefits including the provision of high quality public realm and a vibrant new public space for the City. The site is located within one of the cities ‘Prestige Development Areas’ and with an area of approximately 3.27 hectares (8.1 Acres) will form the eastern ‘Gateway’ into the city. There is already a fascinating mixture of uses upon the site with the West Yorkshire Playhouse, The Northern College of Music, The Yorkshire Dance Company, the BBC North HQ and The Northern Ballet Theatre Company, providing a vibrant cultural base. Our scheme will add to this over 500 new apartments with a mix of 1 and 2 beds plus a further mix of studios and crash pads. The introduction of health facilities, creches, fitness and convienience retail are also being considered. The Design’s maintain the strong east/west axis through the site, and introduces an informal geometry to the massing to introduce a human and pedestrian friendly approach to the new and existing buildings. “Creative landscaping that incorporates open spaces for public art displays and improved city centre access is a major part of the strategy to transform the historic site.” Andrew Gardner, Partner
