“Green City” concept презентация

What does “Green city” mean?
A green city is a community of residents, workers, and visitors who strive together to balance ecological, economic, and social needs to ensure a clean, healthy and safe environment for all members of society and for generations to come. The green city means a way to increase the sustainability of urbanized areas. It is a concept of urban planning relying on the ecosystem services that green infrastructure can supply. In essence, this concept includes the characteristics of all the urban concepts described previously (city meeting with nature, restoring the values of urban ecosystem, minimizing resource and energy consumption, and taking advantage of the ecosystem services of the blue-green natural components).

“Green Health City” Proposal
by Peter Ruge Architekten
Designed to support and promote the condition of physical and emotional human health, the Green Health City proposal by Peter Ruge Architekten is an ecologically sustainable development located in China’s Hainan Province, in Boao Lecheng on the Wanquan River. By establishing a cross-disciplinary and inter-cultural approach to design that is routed in China’s long history, a comprehensive and well considered masterplan scheme is achieved.

Five island districts bring together world-class medical facilities, employ new strategies for green energy production and rethink transportation networking to achieve a sustainable urban prototype. Pathways toward a sustainable future are forged through strong ties to local identity and respect for history.
A system of design is guided by concepts related to; 5 Elements - City of Creation; 5 Organs - City of Health; 5 Senses - City of Communication; 5 Islands - City of Relaxation; and 5 Rings - City of Individual Transport. Balance between these cycles and systems are applied to create a harmonious planning arrangement, promoting positive energy flow within each of the island districts and throughout the development as a whole.

In co-operation with Charitè , the knowledge and expertise of more than 100 clinics and institutions worldwide will assure Green Health City a place at the international forefront of health care development. This scheme pioneers new models for sustainable development in China’s healthcare market, sets a benchmark for the design of ecological cities and a standard for a healthy future, offering a gift from China to the World for keeping our blue planet healthy and green.

Sustainable urban design that prioritizes natural land use and planning strategies minimises energy consumption and reduces building footprints. 70% renewable energy production facilitated through the use of wind turbines, bio gas, photovoltaic cells, hydraulic systems and smart grid energy saving devices for the storing and distribution of power, will service this 100% Co2 neutral development.
Environments that promote health include a combination of facilities that treat illness and assist well-being through a five star process involving diagnosis, cure, rehabilitation, rejuvenation, and prevention. Check-up programmes with a special focus on geriatric care management and faculty’s specific to the development and application of stem cell research form the nucleus of the development complex.

“Tianjin Eco-City”
by Surbana Urban Planning Group
The model places a strong emphasis on landscaping as residential towers rise amidst the parks, promenades and valleys that create the plan’s primary network.Designed by Surbana Urban Planning Group, the scheme divides the city into seven sectors which vary in terms of landscape and programmatic offerings.

Organized into seven parts, the plan will boast a Lifescape, an Eco-Valley, a Solarscape, an Urbanscape, a Windscape, an Earthscape and Eco-Corridors that will offer residents a different landscape ranging from the stepped, terraced greenery of the Earthscape to the more futuristic soil-shaped mounds of the Lifescape. While some areas, such as the Urbanscape, will be more compact with higher density buildings, the plan also provides areas for smaller developments, such as its Windscape section.

Users will be encouraged to take advantage of the city’s light rail system to navigate the differing sections, and the public system will help to drastically reduce the city’s carbon emissions.
In addition to the extensive use of landscaping, the project also incorporates sustainable technologies – solar and wind power, rainwater harvesting, desalination, to name a few.

The project is an interesting attempt to tie the necessary variety of urban buildings together by a cohesive landscaped thread. The strength of the proposal lies in the ability for the landscape itself to become a flexible entity that is also defined and shaped to offer different experiences to users. This plan is expected to be completed in 2020.

Green Tech City in Hanoi, Vietnam
by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM)
Backed by Blenheim Properties, the ‘sustainable urban district’ will cover 145 hectares and will incorporate two existing villages, eventually housing a population of more than 20,000 people.
According to the practice the plans ‘expand and reinforce the local traditions and green urban character of Hanoi.’

A spokesman said: ‘In addition to a new linear riverfront park, the masterplan generates a series of organic, low-rise, pedestrian-friendly residential neighbourhoods within the planned ‘Green Corridor’. This is balanced by a more urban and dense edge of high rise development articulating the future skyline of the district.
‘A complete urban living environment will emerge on site, including a variety of housing types integrated with schools, healthcare clinics, sports and other public facilities.’

Vision of “Bamboo city”
by Penda
Architecture studio Penda has unveiled new CGI renderings detailing its vision for a city of 200,000 people that would be creating using an innovative modular bamboo structure. Penda, a Beijing- and Vienna-based studio, believes its design for structures built from interlocking horizontal and vertical bamboo rods could be used to sustainably build the infrastructure of an entire city by 2023.
"We believe that in present times a sustainable way of construction is more valuable than ever," explained architects and studio co-founders Dayong Sun and Chris Precht, who have been using bamboo since their first project – a garden gatehouse in China.

Penda first developed the bamboo framework in 2014, after working on a concept for a flexible modular hotel. It involves connecting bamboo rods with X-shaped joints of the same material, then using lengths of rope to offer additional strength.
The studio later realised that the system could be expanded and used to create much larger constructions – from emergency housing to new urban centres, and unveiled their first prototype during Beijing Design Week last month. It is called Rising Canes.

The architects envision the components of the system being produced in China's Anji County – one of the largest bamboo export regions in the world. Here, a new community could be established at the heart of a bamboo plantation.
"The system can grow to a habitat for 20 families within the first nine months," said Sun and Precht. "As the number of inhabitants keeps growing, the structure gets extended to accommodate multiple communal spaces, bridges and even floating structures."

"By 2023 the bamboo development is extended to an urban configuration, inhabited by a population of 20,000 people and surrounded by a bamboo grove of 250 acres," they added.
One of the main advantages of the system is that it becomes more stable as more joints are added. This means multi-level structures could be easily created.
Structures can also be easily disassembled with minimum wastage, as components can be reused several times.
"With this patient and natural expansion, the project describes a true ecological approach of growth, which leaves no harm on the surrounding environment nor on the building material itself and is therefore a counter-movement to a conventional way of the present construction process," added the architects.
Sun and Precht founded Penda in 2013. Since then the pair has also designed a concept for a customisable high-rise facade and a doughnut-shaped house based on the form of a tree stump.

“Vertical Forest ”
by Stefano Boeri
Italian architect Stefano Boeri has unveiled plans for a city near China's Liuzhou, featuring towers completely covered in trees and plants to combat air pollution.
The Liuzhou Forest City will feature nearly 40,000 trees and almost one million plants, comprising 100 different species. The greenery is designed to trail over balconies and the roofs of a series of skyscrapers spanning 175 hectares along the Liujiang river, in the mountainous area of Guangxi.

Following on from Boeri's past trials of "vertical forests" in Milan and in Lausanne, the masterplan forms part the architect's Forest City concept, which will see cities made up of plant-covered skyscrapers rolled out across China's urban areas as a way to offset urban pollution.
The architect's studio Stefano Boeri Architetti has also proposed a similar design for city in Shijiazhuang, while its pair of plant-covered skyscrapers recently broke ground in the centre of Nanjing.
Each scheme provides sustainable high-density housing and office space packed heavily with greenery, as a way to depollute the surrounding environment by filtering dust particles from the air and absorbing carbon dioxide.

This, combined with it's smog-eating walls, will make the city a world's first according to the architects.
"For the first time in China and in the world, an innovative urban settlement will combine the challenge for energy self-sufficiency and for the use of renewable energy with the challenge to increase biodiversity and to effectively reduce air pollution in urban areas – which is really critical for present-day China – thanks to the multiplication of vegetable and biological urban surfaces."
