  1. Modelling Urban Sustainability: The PROPOLIS Experience Michael Wegener SOLUTIONS 2004 Symposium Cambridge, 15 December 2004

  2. The PROPOLIS Project

  3. PROPOLIS (2000-2004) PROPOLIS (Planning and Research of Policies for Land Use and Transport for Increasing Urban Sustainability) was a project of the Key Action “City of the Tomorrow” of the 5th RTD Framework of the European Commission. Objectives - to research, develop and test integrated land use and transport policy assessment tools and methodologies - to define sustainableurban strategies and to demon-strate their long-term effects

  4. PROPOLIS Partners • - LT Consultants Ltd., Helsinki (Coordinator) • Institute of Spatial Planning, University of Dortmund • Spiekermann & Wegener (S&W), Dortmund • University College London, London • Marcial Echenique & Partners Ltd., Cambridge • Trasporti e Territorio srl, Milan • Marcial Echenique y Compañia SA, Bilbao • STRATEC S.A., Brussels.

  25. ILUMASS PROPOLIS Modelling urban sustainability No spatial disaggregation Spatial disaggregation of output Spatial disaggregation of input Zonal data Zonal data Zonal data Aggregate land-use transport model Aggregate land-use transport model Aggregate land-use transport model Aggregate land-use transport model Spatial disaggregation Zonal environmental impact model Spatial disaggregation Microsimulation land-use transport model Disaggregate environmental impact model Disaggregate environmental impact model Few impacts Limited feedback All impacts Limited feedback All impacts All feedbacks

  26. Microdatabase For the synthetic microdatabase zonal data are allocated to raster cells. Two steps are performed: (1) Conversion of polygons to raster cells The polygons of a land-use map are converted to raster cells and each raster cell is assigned a land-use category. Land-use categories Residential high-density Residential low density Industrial Open Space

  33. Evaluation

  34. Sustainability In PROPOLIS, sustainable development consists of three interconnected components: - ecological or environmental sustainability - social or human sustainability - economic efficiency

  35. Sustainability Indicators Environmental Global climate change Air pollution Consumption of natural resources Environmental quality SocialHealth Equity Opportunities Accessibility and traffic EconomicTotal net benefit from transport

  36. Environmental Indicators Global climateGreenhouse gases from transport change Air pollutionAcidifying gases from transport Volatile organic compounds from transport Natural Consumption of mineral oil products resourcesLand coverage Need for additional new construction EnvironmentalFragmentation of open space qualityQuality of open space

  37. Social Indicators Health Exposure to PM from transport at housing Exposure to NO2 at housing Exposure to traffic noise Traffic fatalities Traffic injuries EquityJustice of distribution of economic benefits Justice of exposure to PM Justice of exposure to NO2 Justice of exposure to noise Segregation Opportunities Housing standard Vitality of city centre Vitality of surrounding region Productivity gain from land use Accessibility Total time spent in traffic and traffic LOS of public transport and slow modes Accessibility to city centre Accessibility to services Accessibility to open space

  38. Economic Indicators Total net benefit Transport investment costs from transport Transport user benefits Transport operator benefits Government benefits from transport Transport external accident costs Transport external emissions costs Transport external greenhouse gases costs Transport external noise costs
