• Urban areas influence various types of global environmental changes, affecting land use and cover, biogeochemical cycles, hydrosystems and biodiversity.

• Urban areas contribute significantly to climate change (the world’s 20 large cities consume 80% of the world energy with urban areas generating 80% of the greenhouse gas emission worldwide).

• More than 1/3 of CO2 emissions within the EU are directly caused by residential and commercial buildings.

Nordic Case Studies on Urban Sustainability

• OULU – a smart arctic cleantech city

The City of Oulu is already a leader in Finland in energy efficient building construction and city planning. Currently construction is one of the biggest investment sectors in Oulu; more than 90 per cent of new houses use low energy building principles. The goal is that all new houses will be passive houses by 2015, using zero energy building principles, and carbon neutral by 2020.

• Swedish SymbioCity Concept: there are potential synergies in urban functions that can be combined for increased efficiency and profitability. A holistic approach to urban planning can save money, time and resources. If you treat the urban functions as parts of the same system 1+1 can easily add to more than 2.

Nordic Case Studies on Urban Sustainability

• Eco-efficient TampereSince the launch of the ECO2 project, the

emphasis on climate and energy issues in the city has grown steadily. The eco-efficiency of new urban plans is assessed comprehensively and energy system analyses in new areas are made. All new buildings in Tampere have to be at least energy class A from the beginning of 2012. Finland’s first passive energy daycare centre started its operation in Tampere in the beginning of 2012. A new information centre for energy efficiency in construction and housing was opened in 2011.

• Sustainable urban transport in DenmarkUnderlining the bicycle’s strong position in the

Danish transport system is a deliberate integration of cycling into transport policies and urban planning by Danish municipalities. Thus, cycling is an integral part of infrastructure development in cities and towns with continuous investments in bicycle lanes and bicycle parking. The Danish Government has a clear ambition to further increase the use of bicycles. An ambitious cycling policy was launched in January 2009 as part of a larger green transport agreement.

Evaluation of Geo-ICT for Land GovernaceInter-disciplinary Perspectives View on geo-information

Value for Public Sector Governance?

Illustrative Geo-ICT Applications

Urban and regional economics

public good which can be used to discipline the spatial structure of the urban economy

Efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability

SDSS for spatial planning and decision making, GIS for simulation of different types of land use, GIS based tool to improve coherence between spatial and environmental policies, visualization of different planning scenarios

Techno/legal/ managerial

standardisable, formal and quantitiave way to mediate spatial knowledge

Efficiency, effectiveness, legitimacy, privacy

LIS for zoning and spatial planning decisions, future landscape development, e-land administration for automation of land registration process, provision of digital land records, electronic conveyancing systems and electronic registration systems, SDI

Geographic and Information Systems Sciences

contingent, informal, qualitative and prone to manipulations Legitimacy, equity,

sustainability

GIS for land administration, SDI, E-Government and all the above mentioned examples of Geo-ICT

Common denominators of successful European experiences:

• An integrated administration system based on advanced Geo-ICT, consideration of the environment in budgets and excellent planning, reporting and monitoring.

• A dynamic approach to model possible areas of environmental impact or improvement.

• Institutional arrangements, legal frameworks, fiscal incentives, processes, standards and models.

• Last but not least, the networking of stakeholders at different levels (i.e. city, region and national) for the promotion of welfare and development and the extendibility of these networks to interact in collaborations on a global scale.
