Urban Sustainability: An example of Copenhagen citypayalgunaki
Copenhagen has implemented extensive policies and infrastructure to become a sustainable urban center. It has integrated cycling into its transportation network through expanded bike lanes and safety campaigns. It has also developed an integrated public transit system and focuses on reducing car dependency. Copenhagen treats waste sustainably by recycling over 60% and using residual waste to generate heat. The city aims to be carbon neutral by 2025 through plans to reduce energy consumption and transition to renewable sources like wind and biomass. Copenhagen provides a model for other cities seeking to balance development and environmental protection.
The Stockholm City Plan from 1999 outlines the city's strategy to promote sustainable development through compact urban growth and preserving green spaces. The main points are:
1) The plan's overall strategy is to "build the city inwards" by focusing new development on previously used land and public transportation access.
2) An important part of the plan is defining and protecting an overall "green structure" of parks and natural areas that provide social, cultural, and ecological benefits.
3) Other goals include redeveloping former industrial areas, developing areas like Kista Science City, and enhancing suburban participation through programs like the Outer City initiative.
The Stockholm City Plan from 1999 outlines the city's strategy to develop sustainably through building inward on previously developed land.

Respiro Car Sharing offers an alternative to car ownership in cities by providing a car sharing service with vehicles available by the hour in neighborhoods. The company has experienced exponential growth since 2010. It aims to be carbon neutral through calculating and offsetting its greenhouse gas emissions via reforestation programs. The service seeks to reduce costs, cars, and emissions in cities through providing shared vehicles as a more sustainable form of urban mobility.
Paris climate protection plana comprehensive strategy…YannFrancoise
Contribution to the Seminar on Low Carbon Initiatives of Cities for GHG Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change organisaed by AIT and ADEME.
Bangkok, Thailand, May 2011
The document discusses opportunities for transforming cities to be more sustainable and resilient in the face of climate change and peak oil. It outlines several types of future cities that incorporate renewable energy, reduce carbon emissions, emphasize distributed systems, green spaces, and sustainable transportation. Examples are given of cities that have implemented aspects of these resilient city models through projects like renewable energy infrastructure, light rail public transit expansions, urban greening initiatives, and transit-oriented development. The document argues that dramatic changes in how cities are planned and built will be needed to transition to 80% lower greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
Walther Ploos van Amstel (professor at AUAS) about the future in city logistics. Will it be unmanned? What is the impact of city hubs? And, will zero emission zones deliver impact?
1) Amsterdam aims to become a zero emissions city by 2025 by promoting electric transportation. It has implemented policies like environmental zones and subsidies to accelerate the transition to electric vehicles like taxis, buses, delivery vehicles, and passenger cars.
2) The city provides over 2,000 public charging stations and the number of electric vehicles and charging sessions is growing rapidly. However, some areas still have air pollution levels above standards due to traffic emissions.
3) Amsterdam stimulates electric transportation through regulations on polluting vehicles, support for businesses to convert fleets, and by requiring its own municipal vehicles to be emissions-free. The goal is to improve air quality and public health in the compact, vibrant city.
The document outlines Piacenza, Italy's plan to become a smart city by reducing its carbon emissions and transitioning to more sustainable practices. It discusses the European Union's goals of reducing emissions 20% by 2020. Piacenza will create an urban plan with actions across transportation, environment, urbanism, knowledge economy, and culture to become carbon neutral by 2020. The plan includes promoting renewable energy, green infrastructure, electric vehicles, bike/pedestrian access, and energy efficiency in buildings.
This document discusses smart cities and sustainable transportation strategies in London. It provides details on London's objectives to improve air quality and reduce emissions through initiatives like expanding ultra low emission zones for vehicles, transitioning the bus fleet to zero emissions by 2037, promoting cycling and public transportation, and retrofitting buildings to be more energy efficient. The document outlines London's vision for a "Green New Deal" and decarbonized future across its transport, built environment, and waste systems. It also discusses TfL's priorities for 2021-22 and the project management process for delivering sustainable projects.
Cycling in Örebro and the work to decrease car-transportsBjörn Sundin
This document discusses Örebro Municipality's climate actions and goals. It aims to reduce climate impact within its borders by 40% by 2020 compared to 2000 levels, and achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Specific initiatives discussed include transitioning city buses to biogas, producing only renewable electricity by 2020, and increasing renewable energy production through additional wind turbines. Charts show reductions in climate impact from the municipality's own operations, as well as across the whole municipality, with goals of reducing the municipality's per capita impact by 50% by 2020. The document also outlines Örebro's efforts to promote cycling through infrastructure investments and programs.
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.
The document summarizes Rome's actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve its targets under the Kyoto Protocol. It outlines Rome's population, economy, transportation systems, and environmental policies. Key strategies mentioned include adopting an Environmental Action Plan, integrating sustainability into urban planning, and engaging stakeholders to develop and implement emission reduction measures across various sectors like transportation, energy, waste, and more. The goal is an integrated approach to cut emissions 6.5% by 2012 from 1990 levels through infrastructure projects, renewable energy, energy efficiency, reforestation, and other climate mitigation actions.
The document discusses aluminium commodities, noting that while aluminium is the most abundant metal on Earth, it was once considered precious until extraction and smelting processes became more efficient. Aluminium is now the most extensively used non-ferrous metal due to its light weight, flexibility, electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance. It is used in a variety of products including cans, foils and vehicle parts. World aluminium production in 2011 was led by Asia at 55% and Europe at 20%.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
