13. Knowledge Sharing Platform Low-Carbon Town Program Analysis Low Carbon Model Towns (APEC/EWG) - towns in the APEC region that have a clear target of CO2 emissions reduction and comprehensive measures to achieve them for sustainable development. Eco2 Cities (World Bank) - create economic opportunities for their citizens in an inclusive, sustainable, and resource- efficient way, while also protecting and nurturing the local ecology and global public goods, such as the environment, for future generations. Compact Cities (OECD) – characterized by dense and proximate development patterns, urban areas linked by public transport systems, and accessibility to local services and jobs Examples: Melbourne, Australia; Vancouver, Canada; Toyama, Japan; Portland, US Examples: Yujiapu, China; Koh Samiu, Thailand; Da Nang, Vietnam Examples: Brisbane, Australia; Tianjin, China; Yokohama, Japan; Singapore; Aukland, NZ

16. Knowledge Sharing Platform Low Carbon Towns Best Practices Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Characteristics: Cited in most master plans Promotes public transit and non-motorized transit Encourage dense urban development at transit locations Sites of multi-use development – commercial + residential Transit “hubs” can serve for multi-mode transfer: HSR/ light rail / BRT / bike share Tianjin Eco CityGuangmingYujiapu Turpan

17. Knowledge Sharing Platform Low Carbon Towns Common Best Practices Land Use Planning Characteristics: Cited in most master plans for new towns Guidelines for location of certain building types - leave actual development to private sector Allocate areas for preserved green space – ecological services and recreation GangneungYujiapuSongdo Tianjin Eco City

18. Knowledge Sharing Platform Low Carbon Towns Common Best Practices Energy generation and smart grid planning Characteristics: Plans for locating industry-scale renewable energy production and generation goals Call for demand-side reductions through efficient building programs and efficient grid-tied transport infrastructure (e.g. LED street lighting) Smart grid concepts such as automated metering, demand response, micro-grid, and energy storage

19. Knowledge Sharing Platform Low Carbon Towns Metrics and Indicators How do we evaluate the effectiveness of Best Practices in reducing energy use and emissions and creating more livable cities? Eco2 Cities (World Bank): Proactive Planning and Leadership Bottom-up Action and Local Innovations Valuable Top-down Support and Enabling Ecological Development Methods and Tools That Work For the City Action-oriented Network Compact Cities (OECD): population and urban land growth population density on urban land trip distance urban land cover trips using public transport proximity to public transport proximity to services Low Carbon Model Towns (APEC/EWG) Under development

20. Knowledge Sharing Platform Increase Content Quantity & Quality o Periodic review meetings with leaders of 16 ESCI Tasks o Formal curatorial process to ensure accuracy, quality control and ease of usage o Produce policy briefs to summarize compiled case studies to distill common best practices Strengthen Action Network o Distribute quarterly e-mail bulletin to the ESCI-KSP network and Energy Working Group Dr. Eugenie Birch Principal Investigator, Co-Director, Penn Institute for Urban Research elbirch@upenn.edu Alon Abramson Project Manager, Penn IUR alonabra@upenn.edu http://www.esci-ksp.org Further Development and Thank You
