Megacities as focal points of global sustainable development
•
Expansion of Megacities is the primary and most far-reaching pattern of
urbanization in developing- and threshold countries.
•
5 Megacities in 1975; an estimated 26 by the year 2015.
•
More than 20 metropoles (annual growth rate of 3-4 %) rapidly approaching
the threshold >>> tomorrow’s Megacities
•
Megacities: focal points and pacesetters of economic globalization, social
distortion and ecological change.
•
Growing radiance on rural hinterland, on entire regions and economic
zones, on increasingly globally tense supply- and value chains.
•
Megacities = Arenas, in which decisions are made on the economical
development, the social quality of life and the ecological sustainability of
the world society.
6
Megacities as focal points of globally sustainable development
•
80%
of the economic growth in threshold- and developing countries
is generated in cities
•
2%
of the earth’s surface is covered by cities
•
78%
of all CO² emissions are generated in cities
•
85%
of all anthropogenic greenhouse gases are produced in
cities
•
2.4
billion people in developing countries have no access to
modern energy supply forms.
•
Cities are at a turning point– they can either pursue business-as-usualscenarios or seize the opportunity toward sustainable development, including
energy- and climate-efficient structures.
7
Key goals of the BMBF research priority
• Research, planning, development and implementation of solutionorientated and integrated innovation strategies and management concepts
for future Megacities.
• Technical and non-technical innovations for the establishment of energyand climate-efficient structures.
• Enable cities, their decision makers and inhabitants to increase the sphere
and yield of efficiency in energy production, distribution and utilization.
• Showcase, that resource-consumption and greenhouse gas-emission by
energy-using sectors can prospectively be reduced in terms of
sustainability.
8
Key guidelines of the BMBF research priority
•
User-oriented, participatory approach: Project development in close
cooperation with decision-makers and interest groups on-site.
•
Multidimensional research themes oriented to specific demand areas:
„prevention & therapy“ instead of mere „diagnosis“.
•
Take sustainability seriously: postulate a coherent concept for the
interaction of economical, social and ecological transformations.
•
Long-term + graded promotion: 3 years set up phase, then
1 x 5 years main phase.
•
Implementation of pilot measures.

Facts and Figures
•
Promotion commencement:
•
July 2005 preliminary phase until 03/08 to appoint a sustainable consortium
for main phase application
Main phase April 2008 to July 2013
