Did you know that better management of reserved parking spaces contributes to more sustainable cities? 🌍 Public space is limited, and managing it fairly is key to creating more accessible and inclusive cities. Reserved spaces, such as those for PRM, loading/unloading, or electric vehicle charging, are essential, but their misuse creates significant issues: - Unauthorized occupation. - Increased emissions from vehicles circling to find parking. - Disorder and conflicts among users. 💡 How can we improve? Technology is the perfect ally: sensors and intelligent systems enable real-time management of spaces, reducing violations, improving availability, and optimizing urban space. 🌍 The result: less pollution, better mobility, and more efficient use of public resources. At Urbiotica, we work to make cities more sustainable, accessible, and organized. 🔗 Discover more here:

Smart urban lighting is really an issue to save electricity
The challenges of intelligent lighting for sustainable cities Street lighting is one of the main areas of expenditure for French towns and cities, but it is also a key issue given the ecological challenges: guaranteeing comfort and safety in public spaces, offering new services while reducing electricity consumption and light pollution... This is the key equation behind every streetlight. Last year, Angers Loire Métropole launched its "smart city" programme, aimed at making the capital of Maine et Loire one of the most connected cities in France. As part of this project, particular attention is being paid to public lighting, which is being completely overhauled to make it more economical and efficient. 30,000 streetlights will be fitted with LEDs. At the same time, 10,000 masts and 5,000 electrical cabinets will become connected and ready to host various third-party applications. It's a similar story further east, at Dijon Métropole, where the OnDijon smart city project is planning to update 34,000 lighting points, also equipped with LEDs, as well as the Citybox system, which enables each streetlight to be fitted with additional services: Wi-Fi terminals, video surveillance, environmental sensors to measure air quality, public address systems, etc. In both cases, local authorities are seeking to achieve a dual objective: save energy and improve the daily lives of residents. "Replacing lighting with LEDs alone should generate energy savings of more than 65% over 12 years", says Dijon town council on its project website. There is also a groundswell of interest in this model, with Toulouse, Bordeaux, Nantes, Chartres and Mâcon, as well as Copenhagen and Oslo abroad, all rethinking their street lighting along these lines.

Architect | Designer | Director at PLP Architecture | Lead PLP's development in South East Asia
It was interesting to learn industry leaders perspective on circular economies and circular cities at #AsiaInfrastructureForum #AIF2024. Sharing how PLP Architecture is contributing to the global effort. We're living in one of the planet's most destructive periods, urging us to rethink our actions. Architects must apply this thinking to the built environment. We generate over 720 billion tonnes of waste annually through travel, food, and electronics. Daily, over 10,000 tonnes go to landfill sites, taking 80 years to recover the land. Land is in high demand for building, forests, crops, and food production. In the past 120 years, leading polluting nations have shifted, with emissions now primarily from Asia, the Middle East, and India. By 2050, mega cities will mostly be in tropical climates. Currently, 40% of global energy and 50% of extracted materials are for building. Our industry needs faster change. Technology evolves rapidly, but energy-efficient solutions lag behind. As warm climates grow, air conditioning demand rises. Continuing current practices harms the planet. We must build smart, carbon-neutral buildings using less energy and smarter designs with AI. In 2016, we built The Edge, the most sustainable office at the time, focusing on green, smart, and healthy designs, operating nearly carbon-neutral with minimal costs. However, smart buildings alone aren't enough. We need interconnected smart buildings and cities sharing energy, resources, and knowledge. Our Bankside Yard Masterplan in London uses a 5th generation energy network to reuse heat from offices to heat residential water, fostering vibrancy and energy efficiency. This model moves cities from wasting to sharing energy, marking the start of a circular economy.

👩🏼💻RaaS🦉Advisor 📣Keynote Speaker👨🏼👩🏼👧🏼👦🏼Panelist | Regenerative Urban Development Expert | 🏞️ Regenerate Cities Founder | Systems Thinker🥗 I Innovator, Creator, Polymath 🤯
💨 As soon as I saw this post yesterday I sought to share it. It takes me a while. Just before I was going to post I lost the whole thing. Taking a deep breath I was going to reconstruct in 30 minutes. Life took over. Hopefully this is not too late ... ⚡ Knowing my profile and reading below you will understand why I was excited! ❣️ It seems that when Tom Bosschaert speaks he will be talking about many of the things I deeply care about. 🏞️ It is interesting to me how people can 'graduate' to similar positions from 'different' backgrounds. Tom Bosschaert may say he was only 19 when he began. At the time he had not yet finished his training; and that was fundamentally in a design field. 🧬 My own background is in science and #systemic thinking. When did that begin? Formally at around the same age as Tom. Informally much younger. And my 'design training' also began before I was 8; can't exactly remember how young! 🧒🏼 What am I saying in all this? Fundamentally I believe, those of us who appear to have a holistic vision of 'how things work', I am looking forward to meeting Tom but have not yet done so, seem to have been influenced along those lines from early developmental experiences, whatever the so-called 'discipline'. 📚 My own perspective is that so long as we maintain the perspective of being life-long learners, again one of those caveats I claimed long before it was 'fashionable' to do so just because it is authentically me, we may come to an understanding of matters that are similar to those of people from very different disciplines. 🫶 The 'beauty' of our different backgrounds is that we can each bring fresh perspectives on each others work so through our joint #connections the effectiveness of the work will grow. This is surely the iterative wisdom of #Nature where everything works in harmony? 🌳 In today's world where #regeneration is SO needed, surely every and any way we can work together to achieve #regeneration more effectively we should take. What do you think? #regeneration #systemic thinking #food #Nature #connection
Net Positive Cities. On this week's Planet Positive, (Tues 9th July, 9am PST, 5pm BST) we will meet Tom Bosschaert founder of Orchid City. Join here: https://lnkd.in/gfDJtTS8 Tom is a Dutch architect, innovator, entrepreneur, and systemic sustainability advocate. In 1999, at age 19, he founded Except Integrated Sustainability, one of the world's first systemic sustainability consultancy and design offices. With Except's team of researchers, designers, and developers, Tom has worked on hundreds of projects globally, focusing on sustainable cities, transformative organizations, circular industries, regenerative agriculture, and governance. Notable projects include Salesforce Park in San Francisco, the Symbiosis in Development (SiD) framework, Polydome, and Serenity Farms in Saudi Arabia. Tom has also led global industry transition strategies for Heineken and IKEA. See www.except.eco. Tom will present Orchid City, his latest self-initiated and self-funded project. Orchid City began as an exploration of the performance, impact, and business model of a fully self-sustaining, affordable city integrating sustainable technologies. After three years of research, leveraging solutions from Except's 25 years of work and contributions from two dozen partner organizations, the project has shown potential for a 140% climate footprint reduction, creating a net-positive living environment. Orchid City also addresses urban issues such as mobility, job creation, food production, water and waste management, social programs, education, and elderly care, promising an abundant, regenerative future accessible to a wide demographic. The Orchid City model can adapt to local contexts, climates, and sizes.
