Government support or thedevelopment o sustainable citiesThe Delegation or Sustainable Cities has been tasked by theSwedish Government to manage and allocate nancial sup-port to projects aspiring to develop sustainable cities.

This support is to stimulate sustainable urban develop-ment projects that not only help to reduce emissions ogreenhouse gases but also are best practice examples ourban development measures that make use o integratedurban planning and applied green technology. The projects

are to display the potential inherent in the development osustainable cities, be demonstration models and acilitatethe dissemination and export o green technology and exper-tise. The projects should also promote attractive solutionsthat benet the people who are to live and be active withinthe environments that are to be built or regenerated, as wellas stimulate innovative solutions and originality.

New global showcases

that are a step aheadSweden is in the vanguard o sustainable urban planning and an internationalpacesetter. Stimulating new demonstration models reinorces this position, whileshedding light on several sustainability aspects. One such example is collaborationin both the planning and the implementation process with the actors involved municipality, business sector, residents - enhancing the quality o the projects. Theprojects also demonstrate how the technical systems are linked together. Majorsynergies can be achieved by taking a coordinated approach to energy, waste, andwastewater management.

In lidhem, a city district o Ume, being green will be easy and un. Its conversion to asustainable city district, with its own wind turbine, solar cells and innovative insulationmethods, is well under way.

Contact:City o Ume, Albert [email protected]/hallbaraalidhem, www.bostaden.umea.se/hallbara-alidhem

Example o how energy productioncan be integrated into architecture.The fat roos on lidhems buildings

are being converted into saddle roosand tted with solar cells.

AtChristmas in 2008, an entire housingblock burnt down in lidhem. The ideawas then hatched to initiate the biggestlow-energy project in northern Sweden and atthe same time start to upgrade the districts other

housing properties, built during the million-homesprogramme, and to create pleasanter and saeroutdoor environments. The initiative includes over500 apartments, 140 o which will be new low-energy units.

District heating will power dishwashersand washing machinesThe climate in lidhem and Ume is cold but theregion has an extensive district heating system,99 percent o which is powered by non-ossiluel. In the project, total energy consumption will

decrease and district heating will be used in newways. To reduce household electricity, or exam-ple, new dishwashers and washing machines willbe installed machines that instead o heatingthe water using electricity are connected to the

district heating system. The buildings will betted with new ventilation systems with heatrecovery and energy-ecient LED light bulbs.

New ways o involving residentsThe project will help residents to be more environ-mentally aware. The installation o individual smartenergy metering equipment in apartments will beone o the measures implemented. Old waste-rooms

will be replaced by modern, unctional recyclingacilities. Encouraging the participation and involve-ment o the lidhem residents is an important parto the orthcoming change. Residents have previous-ly shown little interest in traditional consultationsessions and so now new ways o increasing theirinvolvement are being tested. The municipal housingcompany AB Bostaden in Ume has, or example,arranged walking tours with the residents to studysustainability and saety aspects o the local environ-ment. There has also been productive dialogue withstudents rom Ume University and the local theatregroup Skuggteatern in lidhem.

A new method was chosen to increase involve-ment in the uture o the lidhem youth recreationcentre. A large poster with the words Hello lid-hem, what do you want to do with this building?was put up on the outside o the centre. Residentswere urged to rank existing proposals and proposeideas o their own.

The physical investments in lidhem were precededby dialogue with local residents and other stake-holders. During the lidhem Campaign, residentshad the chance to put orward their own proposalson the development o their local environment.

The method proved very successul. More than200 visitors gave their opinion on the matter. Themajority got what they wanted and lidhem nowhas its very own cultural centre.

A place or testing new solutionsThe area is to be displayed as a demonstrationmodel in conjunction with Umes year as Euro-pean City o Culture in 2014. The ambition is alsoor lidhem to play an important role in the citysuture development.

By cooperating with several institutes at UmeUniversity, including the Institute o Design, theInstitute o Technology, the Academy o Fine Artsand the School o Architecture, the district will be

a testing ground or new sustainable urban develop-ment projects.

Some o the improvements planned or lidhem: 50-percent reduction in energy consumption

Sustainable Jrva is part o the City o Stockholms initiative to regenerate the citys million-homes areas. The Jrva suburb in north-west Stockholm will be an area o minimum environ-mental impact. Using innovative technology and with the participation o local residents, theproject will create positive social, ecological and economic development in Jrva.

Sustainable Jrva

rom pilot to reality

Athird o Swedens housing stock consistso buildings constructed as part o themillion-homes programme in the 1960sand 1970s. Many o the buildings rom that era are

run down and in need o wide-scale repair. Energyconsumption needs to be halved to meet todaysdemands or reduced carbon emissions. The aim othe Sustainable Jrva project is to be a national andinternational example o how to re-develop run-down million-home housing areas sustainably.

Dierent methods o energy-ecient reurbish-ment are being testedEnergy consumption in Jrva will be more thanhalved to 88 kWh/m2 and year, which can be com-pared to the national standard o under 110 kWh/m2and year or new buildings.

Three o the most common types o buildingare to be reurbished: 11-12 storey tower blocks inAkalla and Husby, 5-6 storey balcony-access apart-ment blocks in Husby and three-storey slab blocksin Rinkeby. Two dierent methods are being tested- traditional on-site reurbishment and pre-abrica-ted modules. The two methods are being compared

and evaluated rom an environment, economic andhistorical point o view.

From pilot to reality

The rst block was nished in 2011 and workis under way on two more buildings. Technicalprocurement is currently ongoing and the aim isto use the best concepts in orthcoming reurbish-ment projects. Since the entire housing stock othe municipal housing company Svenska Bostder,including 5 200 apartments in Jrva, is to be reur-bished beore 2020, the methods that prove to bethe most ecient will be put into practice directly.Over 200 million Europeans live in housing builtduring the 1960s and 1970s similar to thoseconstructed as part o the Swedish million-homesprogramme. The method could be repeated in mil-lions o homes across the continent.

in the area, plans to erect a 2MW wind turbine inJrva have been mooted.Sustainable transport

Stockholm politicians, civil servants and local resi-dents have all evaluated the current network ocycle-paths in the area. The analysis will orm thebasis o Jrvas new cycle plan. One initiative toimprove the link between Jrvas northern andsouthern parts is to enhance the standard o existingroutes across the Jrvaltet green area and to con-struct new cycle-paths with ecient LED lighting.

A number o initiatives are being taken toencourage more people to start cycling, includinga borrow-a-bike scheme. An activity week with

a cycling school or adults, road saety coursesor children and cycle repair sessions, is arrangedevery year.

The establishment o a car pool in Jrva will alsobe acilitated in order to urther encourage sustaina-ble travel.

Inormation and participationImplementing technical solutions to acilitate asustainable liestyle is not enough. To achieve theset goals, extensive inormation and participationinitiatives are also being implemented:

Residents are submitting comments via theJrva Dialogue initiative and are participatingin reurbishment decisionsLocal housing representatives and environmen-tal ambassadors who live in the area are beingtrained to disseminate inormation and adviceon more sustainable liestyles to each individualhousehold

Local clubs, schools and preschools are beingoered environmental trainingHot water use in the area is twice as high as

normal. This is partly due to the act that theaverage household in Jrva is bigger than inother areas. Technical measures and inorma-tion initiatives are nevertheless expected toreduce hot water consumption considerably

Cultural initiativesThe Stockholm City Museum is implementingmeasures as part o the project aimed at enhancingpeoples knowledge about Jrva and at increasingthe residents sense o pride in living there. One

such measure that the Museum has implementedis to urnish an apartment in Tensta as it wouldhave looked when rst built in the 1960s. Thisapartment is now open to the public. A culture andhistory trail Tidens vg(A path through time) with inormation boards highlighting both past andpresent aspects o the area has also been establishedon the adjoining culture reserve on Jrvaltet.

A teachers handbook has been produced as a guideor schools and preschools to encourage visits to thedistricts green areas.

Monitoring and evaluationThe Royal Institute o Technology In Stockholm ismonitoring the project by carrying out a continuoustechnical, economic and behavioural science evalu-ation. A handbook describing the results o thedierent construction methods and other initiativesin the project is being developed to help othersbenet rom the outcome.

Malm is continuing its urban development initiatives in the district o Vstra hamnen.Swedens largest area o energy-ecient buildings is being constructed as part o theFullriggaren project. Far-reaching sustainability solutions can be realised through closecooperation with builders.

Sustainable urban development in the

Vstra hamnen searont district o MalmVstra hamnen has become the fagship oMalms sustainable urban development.Expansion o the area started when the cityhosted the European housing exhibition Bo01 inthe summer o 2001. The conversion o searontindustrial land to a vibrant urban area was put onshow to the general public or the rst time. Thiswas Swedens rst urban area with a climate-neutralenergy system, using entirely locally produced en-

ergy rom renewable sources such as solar, wind andwater power. Ater this high-prole demonstrationmodel ollowed the Flagghusen project which aimedto make sustainability mainstream.

The sustainability ideas are now being urtherdeveloped in a third project in Vstra hamnen,Fullriggaren. A mixed-use urban area o residentialhousing, oces, preschool, disabled-person housingand multi-storey car park is being constructed aspart o the Fullriggaren project. About 75 per-cent o the 630 apartments will be rental tenure.Construction began in the summer o 2010 and thearea is expected to be nished at the end o 2012.

Low-energy buildings and passive houses onlyFullriggaren will be Swedens largest collection oenergy-ecient buildings. A third will be classedas Passive House standard, the rest as low-energybuildings, which is 40 percent better than Swedensnational energy requirements.The oce premises will be classed as Green Build-ing standard, i.e. 25 percent better than the norm.Lighting control and smart metering o electricity,heat and hot water will also reduce the energy need

in the area.

Renewable energy rom waste, the sun and windThe area will also be the biggest in Sweden whereorganic waste is collected via waste grinders, sepa-rate pipe networks and collection tanks or biogasproduction.

The organic waste is expected to lead to theproduction o about 270 MWh o biogas per year,the equivalent o 70 500 litres o petrol. Renewableenergy is also produced via solar panels connected

to the district heating grid and via a solar cell bankand urban wind turbine on the multi-storey carpark.

Car pool or everyone and green wallsThe area will be the rst in Sweden where all theresidents will have access to a car pool rom thebeginning. This has been achieved by the project

guaranteeing access to a car pool or the rst veyears. The scheme is expected to lead to less carownership and a corresponding decrease in parkingneeds and aspires to encourage people to changetheir travel habits.

Fullriggaren will also demonstrate innovativegreen solutions. Several buildings in the area will betted with green walls. A large 490 m green wallis being installed on the multi-storey car park. Toreduce the amount o hardened suraces, about14 500 m2 o green roos will also be installed.

The project goals are implicit in its nameMy. The goal is to give the residents a strong senseo anity and make them eel more at home.

Residents will eel prouder, saer and more at homein the area as well as gain more understanding andknowledge o how they can infuence their ownsurroundings. Participation will lead to a greatersense o anity and responsibility.

Green. The goal here is to strengthen the neigh-bourhoods green values in a concrete and palpa-ble way. Energy use in the area will be more thanhalved. Waste heat will be reused in a local heatingsystem and renewable energy will be produced. Anew street and cycle-path structure will help to

reduce car use and encourage green transport op-tions. The quality o green areas will be improvedto create better recreational opportunities, promot-ing play and other physical activity and making thearea more enjoyable to live in.

Neighbourhood. The goal here is to strengthenthe identity o the neighbourhood by implement-

ing technical, artistic and educational measures.The structure will be similar to that o the rest orebro and improve the districts contact with the

city. The contrasts between private and public spacewill be elucidated. Opportunities or social contactamong neighbours will be improved.

Reduced energy use and climate impactA number o measures are being carried out insidethe neighbourhoods buildings to save energy andincrease the amount o renewable energy used. Wallsand roos are being tted with extra insulation, doorsand windows are being replaced and laundry-roomsare being made more energy-ecient.

project. By employing new techniques and work-ing methods, the project will hopeully increase theopportunities or citizen participation in the regenera-tion process. This includes making it easier or peopleto air their views as well as being involved on a moreconcrete level by taking an active part in the projectin some way or another. Examples o innovative andsomewhat unusual methods include artist-led work-

shops and a history exhibition. The tenants will alsobe given the chance to infuence and reduce their ownenvironmental impact. Smart electricity metering willbe introduced and a way o visualising water con-sumption will be created. Meetings can be held andtechnical solutions displayed in a mobile environmentcentre.

Integration and employmentThe building project will engage unemployed personsrom the local area, providing them with work place-ments and training and ultimately permanent employ-ment. In a unique cooperation initiative between thenational employment agency, the municipality andprivate contractors, new working methods are beingcreated to utilize the opportunities presented in anurban regeneration project to reduce unemployment.Being involved in a practical way and rebuilding onesown neighbourhood also increases a persons sense oinvolvement and participation.

Key concepts or the Sustainable RosengrdprojectHolistic approach. Physical environmental invest-ment is the driving orce in the project and alsopromotes economic and social development. Jobsare created, young people can more easily get onto

the property ladder, running costs are reduced, thearea becomes more attractive and saer, the areasmedia image changes and residents sel-esteem andpride are strengthened.

Transerability. Many cities in Sweden andEurope are acing similar challenges and the goalis to nd solutions that are economically easibleso that they can be put to more wide-scale use.

Experiences rom the Hilda housing cooperativecan be disseminated to other housing cooperativesin Sweden. Green technology is a keystone o theCity o Malms business policy strategy and themeasures being implemented in the Sustainable Ro-sengrd project are used as demonstration modelsin this eld.

Diversity. Cooperation between the city admi-nistrations along with the participation o localresidents and business operators are undamentalprerequisites or a successul outcome. The city

administration, ve technical administrations, anenergy utility, a municipal company, a housing coo-perative and local associations and clubs are all coo-perating in the implementation o the SustainableRosengrd project. Special measures are aimed atincreasing resident and business operator participa-tion in the district. Over 100 languages are spokenin Rosengrd, which demands special consideration.

The district will be the rst to realise theCity o Gothenburgs programme or greenbuilding and all the buildings in the districtwill be environmentally certied. Kvillebckenwill be a showcase or cutting-edge technologyand smart solutions or energy, waste, transportand water.

Cooperation with highly ambitious goalsThe municipality-owned company lvstrandenUtveckling AB and six other enterprises haveormed a consortium. By signing the KvillebckenAgreement, the companies have agreed to joinorces and build a resource-ecient, sustainableand ultra low-energy area.

In the planning process, the City o Gothenburghas applied a desultory consultation procedure,which involves close cooperation between dierentcity administrations at an early stage beore theplan is drated.

Run-down area will become attractive and vibrantKvillebcken is being built in a location close tothe very centre o Gothenburg, just a stones throwrom the citys main shopping area and well servedby public transport. The area is currently very run-down and the land is highly polluted. The goal is to

create an attractive and vibrant urban environmento varied design and orm. Building heights varyrom our to sixteen storeys. The district has beendivided among the builders and a mixture o dier-ent orms o tenure and apartment sizes is planned.

A vibrant urban area that promotes social contactbetween people will be created here. An example

is Kvillebckens urban arming area, which willunction as a green meeting-place or arming andcooperation while the district is being regenerated.Private citizens and restaurants can hire plots togrow vegetables and herbs and to socialise. Theproject is a collaboration between the buildersin Kvillebcken, the City o Gothenburg and theStadsjord Association.

via the suction system, such as glass and metal, is tobe collected and taken care o in the districts jointrecycling acility.

Energy-smart buildingsThe buildings capacity to store energy or thedistrict heating grid will be utilised. The day-to-dayvariation in the district heating need can then beevened out and the amount o ossil uel used inproduction can be reduced.

Energy-smart systemsThere are ambitious energy consumption goalsor the area. Despite a 65-percent increase in foorspace in Kroksltts Fabriker Sder, the amount obought energy will decrease by 10 percent.The heating systems or new and existing proper-ties will be combined and integrated. Waste heatrom oces and commercial activities will heatresidential housing in the area. Heat and cool air

will be stored in underground cavities to equalizethe daily and seasonal variation in consumption.Local wind turbines, aade-integrated solar cellsand a Stirling engine will produce electricity.The investment costs will be oset by reduced run-ning costs as ar as possible.

Water and greenery between the buildingsTo reduce the risk o fooding in the area, thestormwater rom hardened suraces and rom theadjacent Sajllet nature reserve is slowed down insmall-scale reservoirs and terrace cultivations. Theroos are covered with vegetation and water romthe detention reservoirs is used to irrigate com-munal plantations, private cultivations and outdoorareas. The outdoor environment is designed so thatit encourages recreation and social contact.

Broad cooperation between dierent actorsThe project is being implemented in broad coop-

eration between dierent actors private business,the public sector and the research community.Methods or user participation will be developed incooperation with the academy.

Cooperation with research actors, such as MistraUrban Futures, Chalmers University o Technology

and the Swedish University o Agricultural Sciences,provides access to cutting-edge skills and channelsor disseminating knowledge both nationally andinternationally. Researchers have the opportunity totest dierent ideas in practice and in an arena whereresearch ndings can be disseminated to businesssector actors in the urban planning sector.

Contact:Municipality o Kunglv, Evelina [email protected]

The project has been initiated by the Munici-pality o Kunglv and Kunglv Energi andis being implemented in cooperation withRiksbyggen, Frbo AB, Kunglvsbostder and KFFastigheter. The parties have developed joint goalsand a concrete ramework or environmental and

energy aspects or the area, or the districts publicspaces and or market communication. By meanso close cooperation, the actors wish to learnrom each other and by joining orces achievemore. The core values thus ormulated or thedistrict will be incorporated into the design o newbuildings and public spaces. New buildings andenvironments will be added to the historical towncentre and be in a modern style.

The project is being monitored as part o aresearch project involving SP Technical ResearchInstitute o Sweden, Gothenburg University andMistra Urban Futures.

A socially active urban areaThe new district will be combined with the oldtown centre and link parts o the town on bothsides o a motorway. The district will containresidential housing with dierent types o tenure,

shops, amenities, walkways, a square and park.

Walkways or pedestrians are being given high pri-ority. The goal o an active urban area with meet-ing-places, activities, recreation and events stemsrom the Municipalitys public health goals andequality-integrated urban planning strategy. Theaim is to recreate and strengthen the advantages osmall-town lie with short distances and proximityto public amenities, culture and recreation.

An economically active urban areaEnergy-generating buildings are still rare. The aim

o the Kongahlla Project is to overcome existinglegal and economic obstacles. A new commercialcentre in Kongahlla will also inject more lie intothe town, providing a greater and more attractiverange o shops.

An environmentally active urban areaA holistic approach is being taken to environmentalissues in the area, with particular ocus on electric-ity consumption.

On a yearly basis, more electricity will be pro-duced than consumed. Energy consumption in thearea will be low and only renewable energy is tobe used. The commercial centres roo and exteriorwalls will be equipped with Swedens largest solarelectricity plant. The centre is designed so that ithelps to visualise the ambitious goals that havebeen set or the area.
