1 Stepwise Development of the Swedish SymbioCity Concept SymbioCity Sustainability by Sweden Sustainable City Concept WWSD Johannesburg 2002 SymbioCity Approach (STC /SKL) R&D Projects The Sustainable City Approach Sida Manual To gather and apply Swedish knowledge within sustainable urban development in an international context Western harbour/bo 01 Malmö Hammarby Sjöstad, Stockholm R&D projects Institutional exp Gårdsten, Gothenburg Ulf Ranhagen SWECO/KTH May 2013

2 Reduced carbon dioxide emissions and increased GNP Symbiosis means the mutual integration of organisms in a mutually beneficial union. In this context symbiosis means finding synergies between urban systems that save natural resouces and cost less. 1+1=>3 Ulf Ranhagen SWECO/KTH May 2013 The SymbioCity Concept promoted by The Swedish Government and the Swedish Trade Council Ulf Ranhagen SWECO/KTH May 2013

3 The Symbio City Game: Ulf Ranhagen SWECO/KTH May 2013 The Sustainable city Game for Mayors compete with others to make your city sustainable within a given budget and within a given time limit

4 Symbio City approach overall idea The Symbio City Approach provides guidance and tools to support sustainable urban development processes based on the idea of turning challenges into opportunities. The City is not a problem --- it is a solution Jamie Lerner, former Mayor of Curitiba, Brazil

5 Symbio City Approach main objectives To contribute to capacity building by mutual sharing of knowledge and experience To encourage multi- och transdisciplinary collaboration To serve as a basis for dialogues and cooperation To serve as a guideline for sustainability reviews To contribute to the development of city-wide strategies as well as integrated systems solutions Symbio City is about people in relation to environmental, sociocultural and economic issues in a spatial context Ulf Ranhagen SWECO/KTH May 2013

6 The Conceptual model emphasises a number of key factors that should be adressed in sustainable urban development Ulf Ranhagen KTH/SWECO May Source: 2013 SKL International The SymbioCity Approach promotes urban review and planning processes that consider potential value-adding synergies between urban systems Ulf Ranhagen KTH/SWECO May Source: 2013 SKL International

18 PERFORMANCE Life Cycle Costs The Swedish and SymbioCity approach reduces the ecological footprint and contributes to favorable economic and social impacts Extra investments in planning and construction Increased property values due to attractiveness Energy costs (due to increasing oil prices) Environmental costs Health care costs Social costs 3-5 years ROI low energy buildings Management, operation and maintenance costs years ROI waste water and waste Final reflections There is a large potential to strengthen spatial planning as a tool to contribute to a sustainable and energy efficient society There is a need to combine hard and soft tools Activ collaboration between many stakeholders is a prerequisite for success! Start the process immediately but think long term! Remember: We haven t inherited the world from our ancestors, we have borrowed it from our children and grandchildren.
