Why is necessary a sustainable city?...

Which are the biggest challenges when we design based on a sustainable model? What does a city need to be sustainable? How we can achieve sustainability? Principles of a Sustainable Designed City…

1. Respect for the natural environment

2. Is a Competitive City, one that promotes the public and private investment

3. Has a particular identity, It is easily manageable

4. Offer places to share with other people

5. Has great public spaces

6. Has a good public transportation system

7. Have good neighborhoods

Principles of a Sustainable Designed City… Study Cases (Examples)

Barquisimeto, Lara. Venezuela Special Plan: “Triángulo del Este” GOAL: Create an excellent urban development with high environmental standards, integrated with the rest of the city

Barquisimeto, Lara. Venezuela Sustainable Principles: Respect for natural environment Offer places to share with other people Has great public spaces Parque del Este Parque de Agua Complejo Ferial Orquesta Sinfónica del Edo Lara Centro de Convenciones Flor de Venezuela

Barquisimeto, Lara. Venezuela Sustainable Principles: Is a Competitive City, one that promotes the public and private investment Has a good public transportation system

Principles of a Sustainable Designed City… Study Cases (Examples)

Barcelona Spain GOAL: Increase the use of renewable energy (especially solar energy), reduce the use of non-renewable energy sources and lower the emissions produced by energy consumption in order to meet Barcelona City Council's international protection commitments. Plan for Energy Improvement in Barcelona ( )

Strategies to implement the Plan + Promotion policies + Demonstration projects + Legal instruments + Management instruments + Integration of sustainable energy measures in urban developments. Barcelona Spain

The aim of the ordinance is to regulate, through local legislation, the implementation of low-temperature systems for collecting and using solar energy for the production of hot water for buildings. This new policy has brought Barcelona to multiply per more than 10 the surface of solar thermal square meters Barcelona is the first European city to have a Solar thermal ordinance. Because of the good results more than 20 Spanish cities are now “replicating” this initiative. Barcelona Spain Solar Thermal Ordinance

Lessons to learn about sustainability How to make a sustainable design? How to cooperate with this iniciative?

Lessons to learn From the Urban Planner’s point of view + Base your designs on the principles of sustainability. + Look for renewable energy alternatives and insert them in your design. + Incentivate the creation of legal instruments that support sustiainability.

From the everyone else’s point of view Lessons to learn + REDUCE, REUSE, RENEW and RECYCLE as many resources as possible such as: -Paper -Water -Energy And try to incentive people to join you on the pursuit of a green world.
