> URBAN PARKS - CLIMATE CHANGE
- CO2 emissions.
- Projections are that London will get hotter, Longer dry periods as well as intensity of rain issues increased.
- The Urban Heat island effect! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_heat_island)
- Urban Flooding - look at the Thames Barrier for evidence.
- So what are parks for? Community recreation space/function. Parks are effected by climate change - they could become unusable in the future!
- So a more functional green space is needed for future development.
- "Green Infrastructure" - Urban greening, look at the Major's climate change strategy.
- Sustainable drainage - rain gardens as drainage systems.
- Also Sunshine gardens - drought tolerant gardens.
- Mediating micro-environments through the use of street trees - major strategy.
- Restoring rivers - store water in public spaces. Scud systems - transforming the street-scape.
- And food storage - can the community grow there own food?
- Refitting of green roofs - retain water, both store and drain.
- Look at the New Olympic Park - integrating parks into urban developments.
> LUKE ENGLEBECK
- Adapting the public realm for the changing climate change.
- Look on Ecobuild website for recorded presentations.
- Over Half of the worlds population live in cities!!!!
- Look at One-Planet Living - Kevin Mcleod.
- UK - 90% of people live in urban areas - look at Victorian Industrial Resolution.
- We need to think in terms of sustainable retreat - prof James Lovelock.
- John Ruskin - Public Change.
- Eco Urbanism - multidimension, sustainable human communities - Miguel Romano.
- Nicolas Stern=Jan2009 - look at the stern report.
- Saving energy through innovations in the public realm.
- Correlation between greenery and buildings - trees cool the atmosphere.
- Green Walls - Seville green mist cooling!
- 82% OF LONDONS FOOD IS IMPORTED FROM ABROAD!
- Shenyang - use public spaces to grow food-must look further into this!
- Food Production, forest garden - Community farms and Allotments (even on balconies).
- The longer the GRASS the greater the Bio-diversity. Also the greater the rain storage, saves carbon!
- Storing Carbon in the soil - carbon saving with longer grass (US, Straton - saving on streetscape)
- Green Roof/walls - provide insulation and improve air quality. Look @ green wall in Hatton Garden!
- Calling on community action for a sustainable future.
- WATER = Live-able surfaces
- Sustainable drainage - keeps vegetation going!
- Re-using water through building surfaces and services - grey water. Irrigate the public realm.
- Community Action.
- Incorporate food production into urban grain.
- Potential for self sustainable communities!
> GROUNDWORK FEDERATION - use the community through the design and the manufacture!
> BACA (Dordrecht Floodproof Pilot) - LIFE GUIDE
- Potzdamerplatz - greenroofs - recycling water - irrigation - lake on a carpark!
- Look @ Paradise Park-London.
- Evaporation-combining green roofs and photovoltaic's.
> DESIGN FOR BIODIVERSITY!
- Ecosystems service system - dusty@dustygedge.co.uk
> IS MODERN ARCHITECTURE TRULY SUSTAINABLE
- 1st Hopkins Architects
- 2nd Make Architects
> WHOSE GOT THE PLAN??
Toby Lloyd
- Ecotowns - growth agenda.
- Developers bankrupt
- Long-term quality - uk is getting worse.
- Not building enough.
- Section 106
- New towns program
- New ways of building housing; sustainable - new communities.
Christian Wolmar
- Better Transport Links
- People are dependent on transport - their cars!
- Politics - money!
- 2 parent family - work in different locations; children - schools.
- Look at Gronigen, Holland.
- LDF - engaging the community.
- Ideas to layout green spaces first - Sir Terry Farrel, look at his planning ideas.
- Ecotowns - sustainable communities - government plan - is it really sustainable??
- A new plan, rethinking - less travel, less CO2.
- Look @ manchester - greener city campaign.
- Ecotowns are really eco-villages. The principles are there but transforming EXISTING TOWNS IS MORE IMPORTANT.
- No we dont want them, he says. we would be better off extending the existing fabric.
- We're not currently building the houses people need - better housing is needed - SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOODS!
- New housing needs to be bolted onto existing infrastructure and transport.
- Look @ holland! = LADYSTUD.
