Cities = where public and private partnership are possible • Ecocity project propose an integrated town design for a carbon free district • Projects are concerning various fields in an integrated approach: • - Mobility (electric vehicles, new services of mobility, cycles and tramway) • New energy efficient buildings • RES : hydropower plant, PV plant, Biomass cogeneration plant.. • Smart grid • Public and private partnership around innovative • project on Presqu’île district
Cities = where 68% of the european population are living • Cities policy and targets are close to european policy • Urban policy : • Compact city, • Retroffiting of housing, new districts • New Mobility • Environmental policy : • CO2 emission reduction targets • Nature, green spaces and biodiversity • Renewable energy, • Social cohesion • Attractivity : create jobs
Cities = where public and private partnership are possible • Positive aspects : • University / Research / Industry good cooperation • Close cooperation between various stakeholders around same objectives • Difficulties : • Public authorities must follow tender rules of « marchés publics » • Who hold the innovative risk when private have return on investment in mind ? • PPP are good development tools only if : • Public authorities have a leadership role • Public authorities are warrant of public interest • Public authorities are close to citizen participation
