Compe-titiveness Governance Environment Quality of Life Megatrends and Sustainable Urban Development Megatrends Sustainable Urban Development Globalization & Urbanization • Cities are competing globallyto make their urban areas attractive to live and to invest in • Global players / trade volume increase • 2030: 60% of population in cities • High density living demands for new patterns in infrastructure Demographic Change • 65+ generation will nearly double by 2030 (from 7% to 12%) • Need for adequate infrastructuresas well as health- and elder care • Challenge to balance between competitiveness, environment and quality of life, and to finance infrastructure solutions • Achieve committed CO2 targets Climate Change • Cities responsible for ~80% GHG • Need for resource efficiencyand environmental care
Siemens insights into "how to become sustainable", jointly developed with major world cities Perceptionstudies Megacity Challenges • Comprehensive analysis based on interviews with over 500 city managers in 25 selected megacities • Urban infrastructure trends and challenges as well as global best practices • Commissioned research to GlobScan and MRCMH • Other studies: The Sustainable Cities Challenge in Canada,ICT for City Management Comparativestudies • Green City Index (commissioned research to EIU) • Index compares cities across 8 dimensions of sustainability: CO2, Energy, Buildings, Transport, Waste & Land Use, Water, Air, Governance • Europe, Africa, North / South America, Asia, Germany • Deep-Dives in infrastructure, e.g. Complete Mobility Index Implemen-tation studies • Sustainable urban infrastructure series • "How to become a sustainable city" with focus on measures for resource efficiency and CO2 abatement • Examples: Dublin, London, Munich, Yekaterinburg, Trondheim, ...
Cities need pioneering solutions to solve their problems • How to get enough electric power, …how to bring enough goods into the city? • How to manage the ever increasing traffic? • How to reduce the energy consumption … and emissions? • How to ensure security and safetyof people? • How to finance all this? From closed island solutions and single products to cross-linked intelligent infrastructure solutions
