Task 4.3 - Urban planning support through land use modelling
Develop methods to quantify and map bundles of urban ecosystem services in order to
assess the dynamics in supply and demand of ecosystem services and inform urban
planning
SUPPLY


Potential of green roofs in London
Plan to derive general rules from
monitoring (WP2)
First: potential of green roofs based
on building characteristics
Possible: explore social justice
implications (topic also explored in
Netherlands by Elco)

Task 4.5 - Improved climate-neutral infrastructure


Energy infrastructure (Aalborg)
Developing a heat atlas

A mapping of all heat demands on individual building
level with information regarding heat consumption,
efficiency measures, current and future heat supply

Scenarios for implementing heat
saving measures in buildings

Economic costs related to
implementing the heat savings

Task 4.5 - Improved climate-neutral infrastructure

Transport infrastructure (Ljubljana)



Initially looking at Intelligent Transportation System (ITS)
Already implemented, now focussing on micro-communication
between stakeholders using interactive GIS
Beta version is online; also other topics to be included, like
flooding: where information is now scattered

Task 4.5 - Improved climate-neutral infrastructure

Waste infrastructure (but where…?)

Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM)

Delayed

Seville is out

New possibilities:

Malaga (administrative issues)

Existing TURAS city?

Deliverable 4.5 in Month 36


Started drafting framework at kick-off meeting, continued in Stuttgart and
this morning
Several aspects to be covered by all partners (incl. data;
governance/implementation)

Chapter per activity

Guided by specific questions related to:
 Data (type, availability)
 Tools
 Future developments
 Types of strategies
 Governance and implementation
 Multi-functionality, co-benefits and conflicts

Governance

Evaluate past activity by authority related to topic:
 Initial constrains (why wasn’t it done before)
 Actions taken to overcome initial constrains
 Successes (what worked, and why did it work?)
 Non-successes (what didn’t work, and what was main cause?)
