EDITORIALS

By Patrick Rimbert, The Mayor of Nantes, Gilles Retière, The President of Nantes Métropole, Ronan Dantec, The President of the Strategic Committee The environmental urgency is now known to all: greenhouse gas emissions and global warming, the desertification of vast territories, impoverished biodiversity and the deterioration of water quality are indicators, amongst many others, which must lead us to concrete action, quickly and effectively. The issue at stake is not only the quality of our environment but also our collective future. We need to create a world where each and every individual can live decently with no depletion of natural resources or degradation of the ecosystem. This is a collective fight which concerns everyone. Territorial authorities, cities and urban agglomerations in particular, have a key role to play in this. This was clearly set out in the outcome of the Rio+20 Summit. With over half of the world population, urban areas are largely responsible for the environmental degradation. But they also have the resources and the capacity to produce workable grassroots solutions. For these reasons, it is crucial to mobilize them. The way for cities to go forward is by protecting the local environment, offering the best possible quality of life to the population and at the same time playing an active role in the major environmental challenges facing the planet. A number of cities have already developed innovative, bold and relevant initiatives. It is now time go one step further. The initiatives must be disseminated and, through discussions and exchange of experiences, the successful achievements must be repeated in order to open up new avenues. This is the purpose of Ecocity. For 3 days, during the many conferences and 100 workshops, stakeholders from different cultures, origins and positions - elected officials, citizens, researchers, business representatives and association members -, all actively involved in the fight against climate change, will exchange to forge solutions together and address the main theme : « Accelerating change ». This 10th edition marks an important milestone in the international agenda, as it aims to produce the road map to the climate conference to be held in Paris in 2015 and also to contribute to Habitat III, in 2016, which will identify the perspectives for urban development worldwide. Ecocity will end with the World Mayors Summit, which will bring together the most committed local government leaders concerned about the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the fight against climate change. This agenda is a reminder of our collective responsibility to act. It is extremely gratifying for Nantes to host the 10th edition of Ecocity, held in the European Union for the first time. This is a truly international event and a key moment in the building of a sustainable city. Our city has a longstanding commitment to sustainable development and the issues that will be raised during the next 3 days are of crucial importance to us. This year, with Nantes Green Capital 2013, it was our wish to support and develop ideas and we have made Ecocity one of the major highlights of our programme. We know that this 10th summit will live up to the expectations placed on it. We would like to welcome you all to Nantes and hope this summit will provide an opportunity for fruitful exchanges as well as lively and rich discussions. We wish you a thoroughly enjoyable time in Nantes.

Changing times, big problems, larger opportunities By Richard Register, Founder and President of Ecocity Builders Back when I started working on ecocity ideas and projects in the early 1970s, my notion of the compact, pedestrian “ecological city” was that it would be the most beautiful and happy way we could live: culture and nature close together physically, and, together in harmonious orchestration. I was making sculpture then, in my twenties, and saw ecocity environments, the best kind of cities, as being something like sculptures to live in, a truly great and powerful art form. They would be cities for pedestrians that wouldn’t even need cars. In fact, as in Venice, Italy, there wouldn’t even be room for them. They would be my teenage fantasies of space exploration science fiction brought down to Earth and made democratic: for every one, including the other animals and the plants we share the planet with. There was an accompanying idea as I started thinking through ecologically healthy cities. I was influenced by others, naturally, architect/philosopher Paolo Soleri and landscape architect Ian McHarg, city theorist Lewis Mumford. Also, the early sustainability thinkers like E.F. Schumacher and bioregionalist Peter Berg, and authors including Ecotopia visionary Ernest Callenbach occupied a lot of my brain’s buzzing and sparkling axons and dendrites. That accompanying idea was that there was no reason cities couldn’t be net contributors to biodiversity and building soils, enriching the earth itself and all us life forms on it. There is no reason we can’t sew organic waste back into soils and design things and create habits of the heart and good rational thinking that give back to nature ever growing richness in natural life. Now days, here in the early 21st century as compared to the 1970s, we are more likely, if we put cities in proper context, to see cities as potential lifeboats in a stormy and rising sea, literally rising as we realize in these times of human-created climate change and heating of the whole planet, as unbelievably science fiction like that notion would have seemed in my formative ecocity years. And so now the dream – the vision ¬– becomes one appropriate to our times in another way, of multi-tasking, dealing with two things at once: cities are now the best means to create beautiful and happy places for us to live in and they are also lifeboats for our better selves to rescue ourselves from our worse selves. It will take courage, though, and if cities are to succeed, they are going to have to be ecocities. Where do these ecocity conferences come in? Where in particular this conference we are now attending here in 2013? Firstly they are a quest to gather the best experience, ideas and wholes systems creative thinking. All ten International Ecocity Conferences to date represent very democratic practice bringing together the very best ideas, helping empower the pioneers among us and spread the word to everyone else, potentially making pioneers of all who attend. My particular hope is that, finally, people at the highest levels will very shortly, at COP 19 in Warsaw and in all other appropriate places, begin to realize that the largest things human being create are cities and that they can be radically different in their design and impacts. The conclusion is that the rescue function of cities must be recognized and placed on center stage. If this conference leads to that it will have unimaginably positive effect on everything in the future, even the evolution of life on the planet, so much is held in the balance. Other very specific things I hope will become touchstones from now on too, not only various ecocity features that most people barely recognize exist, such at “ecocity integral projects,” also known as “ecocity fractals,” but also another holistic discipline kindred to ecocities, and I am thinking here of what I call “natural carbon sequestration” in forests, grasslands, peatlands and shallow lakes, estuaries and seas. I’ll save elucidation of those for later in the conference. Where does courage come in? It is way past time to recognize and say out loud, even if very unpopular, that cars have been an urban and nature disaster, that the way, the profound way of the future is in cities for the pedestrian and cyclist, augmented in their non-motorized mobility by the best forms of public transit and elevators. When we get a sense of proportion connected – finally – to design of cities, then we will realize that you can’t design for the human body and something that weights 30 times as much and moves 10 times as fast in normal operation in the same urban environment. Face it. As Lincoln once said, “Slavery is over.” As we must say, “Our radical dependence on the automobile is silly.” If not quite enslaving us, its destructive effects on the planet and our future are awesome. We can do much better. Good fortune to us in this conference that we will.

WELCOME TO ECOCITY 2013 ! The city of Nantes welcomes the 10th edition of ECOCITY, the World Summit on Sustainable Cities, as part of the initiative Nantes European Green Capital 2013.

Sustainable cities, a global issue More than half of the world’s population lives in urban areas. Cities crystallize the challenges of sustainable development in the context of an ecological, financial and societal crisis: water, food, energy, greenhouse gas emissions, waste, social relationships, jobs, land, biodiversity and ecological footprint. Only the sum of local solutions will produce global effects…

A major challenge for cities There is an urgent need to act on a number of indicators which have reached critical thresholds, notably emissions of greenhouse gases, water and biodiversity of which cities are the main source. How can cities initiate and accelerate their ecological transition in the difficult current context? How can they contribute in deploying global and local solutions on the scale of these challenges? Where can they find the means?

Decisive action at the heart of the city Elected officials, city administrative officers, researchers, thinkers, entrepreneurs and operators you all play a key role in the transition towards truly sustainable cities. You will meet in Nantes from 25 to 28 September to exchange about your achievements, analyze shortfalls and share your experiences to build a common culture of urban sustainability and accelerate change!

ECOCITY and the World Mayors Summit on Climate Change: 8 global messages A faster transition towards sustainable cities Official presentation of the roadmap for the Paris COP in 2015 Preparation of Habitat III Participation of other civil stakeholders in the visions and plans of cities Discussions with UNEP on global environmental governance and the implementation of the Rio+20 decisions Consolidation of efforts to reduce food waste High-level conference on the European land-use policies and the battle against urban sprawl A unifying event on the cities’ world agenda

About Ecocity... In 1990, Richard Register organized the 1st international ECOCITY conference in Berkeley (California). He founded Ecocity Builders in 1992, a NGO that has always encouraged local changes in a global perspective. Mission: Ecocity Builders proposes surveys, analyses, toolkits and training to promote healthier cities for the long-term health of humans and natural systems. Together with the Urban Ecology Movement, Ecocity Builders revisits environmental urban planning, design, ecology, education, public policies and citizen participation towards healthier cities. Richard Register is one of the world’s theorists on urban sustainable development. He has taken part in all the major United Nations environmental conferences: Stockholm, Rio de Janeiro, Johannesburg… He has shared his profound knowledge of cities and nature in several books. He is the author of «Ecocities: Rebuilding Cities in Balance With Nature « and «Ecocity Berkeley». For the past 4 decades, Richard Register has been working on sustainability projects in urban areas.

PROGRAMME - INTRODUCTION Based on 5 main themes and 4 challenges, the programme constitutes a roadmap for the transition towards the sustainable city: Five main themes: the key issues of the sustainable city Reducing the ecological footprint : water, air, soil, waste, biodiversity, Addressing the energy challenges of the city: how to decarbonize energy supply, reduce energy consumption and manage the energy transition, Strengthening solidarity: solidarity among cities, neighbourhoods and individuals, Organizing the sustainable city: mobility, urban development, decision-making and planning, Mobilizing enabling factors: a prerequesite for a transition in a social, political, cultural and economic transition. Four challenges: questions to be addressed with each theme. THINKING: how to get out of a silo approach ? How can we combine the local and the global levels? How can we consider the transition path? How to better coordinate the short term and the long term? SHAPING: How can we implement solutions applicable to all cities, beyond demonstrators? How to speed up deployment in a context of crisis ? FINANCING: how can we finance the transition when funding is insufficient? What economic models and financing instruments can lead to cohesive cities with a zero-environmental footprint? GOVERNING: how to combine the public and private sectors? How to manage the multi-layered territorial organization ? Above all, how can we achieve successful citizen participation? With what regulations? This combination has resulted in a coherent and consistent matrix, in preparation of the road map for the sustainable city. (see the Matrix page 6/7).

The overall summary of the conference is produced by the foundation Charles Léopold Mayer for the Human Progress, under the supervision of Pierre Calame, Grand Observer of Ecocity.

THE GRAND OBSERVERS of ECOCITY 2013 ECOCITY 2013 has chosen to invite two outstanding figures as Grand Observers. Severn Cullis-Suzuki and Pierre Calame will be attending the three-day summit and will observe, listen and prepare the general synopsis that will be presented at the closing conference. Severn Cullis-Suzuki, environmental activist and author, Canada As a member of the Environmental Children’s Organization, she delivered a memorable speech to the UN audience at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 when she was 12.

/ KN5 Keynote session - Ecocity Builders: Rebuilding Civilization, Restoring Nature

At its core, Ecocity Builders and associates’ definition of “ecocity” is conditional upon a healthy relationship of the city’s parts and functions, similar to the relationship of organs in living complex organism. We are concerned with city design, planning, building, and operations in an integral way and in relation to the surrounding environment and natural resources of the region, utilizing organic, ecological and whole-systems lessons to actually reverse the negative impacts of climate change, species extinction and the destruction of the biosphere. The ecocity model we will present seeks to provide a practical vision for a sustainable and restorative human presence on this planet and suggests a path towards its achievement through the rebuilding of cities, towns and villages in balance with living systems. Richard REGISTER, President, founder, Ecocity Builders, USA Ronan DANTEC, Spokesman, global network of cities, UCLG, France (Dr.) Dasho Sonam TENZIN, Secretary for the Ministry of Works & Human Settlement, Bhutan Monika ZIMMERMANN, Deputy Secretary General, ICLEI, Germany Facilitator: Kirstin MILLER, Executive Director, Ecocity Builders, USA

OP3 Special session - LOCUS - Global Awards for sustainable architecture EXPO /Since 2007, the Global Awards for Sustainable Architecture reward the top five architects in urban sustainable development.

The session presents the work and careers of the former prizewinners and proposes a discussion to outline the new trends and visualize likely developments in the years to come. The session will also focus on the various approaches across the continents and the way they influence each other.

/ TP5 Special session: The port, a key partner in shaping the sustainable city

Maritime ports, city ports and inland ports occupy a specific territory with strong geographical and functional fractures. The quays and docks together with the industrial areas and the overall infrastructure form a limited space that the city and the port must share in harmony and in which they must find synergies for the implementation of sustainable development in the territory. The emergence of the sustainable city port – addressing the challenge of energy transition – will rely on the development strategies of the port and its innovative initiatives in terms of economic added value and employment opportunities. The port, with its clients and economic stakeholders, actively contributes to the new local policies towards energy transition. The contributions are twofold: the development of industrial clusters focusing on renewable energy and the reduction of energy consumption for the port-related activities and the promotion of renewable energy. Such challenges require mobilization of the all the port city stakeholders. It is particularly interesting to observe the first feedback concerning these initiatives.

300 / RP3 The sustainable city in the digital age

Cities disseminate, consume, produce and manage soaring amounts of digital infomation. Urban residents are often intensive users if not desiginers of online applications and services. The city conversely shapes the needs identified by developers, the imaginary world of games. social networks haven’t dispelled face-to-face relationships and online-offline interactions abound in cities. How does this interrelation shape the sustainable city?

200 / SP3 The fight against social exclusion at the heart of the urban project

The fight against social exclusion has too often been given secondary status, being considered a compensatory measure when the transition is seen through a technicist lens. What is the point of changing the situation and building the urban project around the fight against social exclusion? Who are the stakeholders behind this vision and how concrete is the evolution? How can this approach accelerate the transition?

450 / RG5 How to effectively share the governance of sustainable city projects?

The governance of sustainable city projects brings together institutions, citizens, businesses and financiers. By which coordination and decision mechanisms can the various contributions be represented? How do the players involved in the governance of the city ensure that they have an actual and continuous link with all the local stakeholders? What can be improved? Where are the success stories?

150 / OP2 Urban infrastructure and brownfields regeneration

How to rehabilitate brownfields? How can we change our perception on abandoned spaces, outdated infrastructure and scarred historic areas? How can we move away from a trend of negligence to focus on revitalizing fragile urban areas in a context of crisis? How can these revitalized neighbourhoods be reconnected to the rest of the city and leverage these initiatives to boost redevelopment at city?

/ TD2 Low energy design inspired by ancient building traditions

What do we value most? The answer may seem insignificant, yet it conditions our way of life. Our perception of wealth shapes our personal choices as well as the future of our society if it is translated into indicators and becomes the base of collective action (public policies, economic strategies, regulation and redistribution…). The Gross Domestic Product has set the direction all this time. It is now clear that GDP cannot determine what leads to abundance or poverty. However, who is legitimate to set new benchmarks?

Despite the difficult economic situation innovative financing schemes are emerging all around Europe. Local authorities have a central role in implementing such schemes and bringing together the private and public sector, and thus facilitating the transition towards a more sustainable future. What lessons can be drawn from these new local financing partnerships? What barriers need to be removed? What is the added value of these initiatives in the funding of urban sustainability? The session will highlight concrete examples already experimented in European local and regional authorities to finance their sustainable development policy or support public investment in their territory. Participants will particularly discuss to which extent those initiatives can be replicated in other municipalities and regions.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), a United Nations project, aim to address a dual challenge: preservation of the biosphere and natural resources and eradication of poverty which affects nearly 1.3 billion human beings. One of the main outcomes of the global conference Rio+20 (June 2012) was a collective agreement by member States and the “major groups” – including local governments - to launch a process to define a set of SDGs which should be achieved by 2015. 2015 is also the deadline for the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals launched in 2000 by the United Nations. However, few goals have been met. While the MDGs focused mainly on the Southern hemisphere, the SDGs will have a universal dimension.

/ EF4 Climate financing, illusion or hope for the cities of the South?

After the hopes raised by the Copenhagen Conference, has the carbon finance met the expectations of the developing countries, the North having to pay for part of their ecological debt? Has it made it easier to raise the funds necessary for sustainability projects in the cities of the South? Which cities in the South have managed without the usual cheap polluting installations? Which ones have failed and why?

/ SF2 Solidarity among local economic players: success stories and models

Solidarity among local economic players is often implicit, for example loyalty to a local shop or orders placed by the local authorities to companies based in the region. It can also develop as part of a local project in which mobilization for a common cause is motivated by solidarity. What can we learn from the success stories? How can we draw inspiration from these types of cooperation, informal groups or local exchange systems to accelerate urban transition? Karine FENIES DUPONT, Head of the Observatory – Social Economy Regional Chamber, France Vincent BOUZNAD, Head of Social Commitment – Sustainable Development Direction, SNCF, France Benoît van OSSEL, Managing Director - Les Côteaux nantais, France Facilitator: Michel MORVAN

200 / RG1 Conflict resolution in the sustainable city: democracy or demagogy?

Legal action, disputes, contention mar and often hamper the implementation of sustainable cities projects, highlighting the deficiencies in the creation phase or the resolution of conflicts. We must do better to accelerate the transition. Citizen participation can’t be limited to wishful thinking or a formal exercise to force a project. How to resolve disputes without slipping into demagogy? How to apply democracy at the project level? How do we give meaning to citizen participation?

/ SP5 Facing the demographic challenges of cities

Cities throughout the world cover the full range of demographic challenges. Ageing is as disruptive as the baby boom. How can fastgrowing cities manage to respond to the well-being aspirations of the younger generations? What should aging cities do to adjust their lifestyle and adapt to the seniors’ expectations without driving young people away? How to strengthen inter-generational links in the sustainable city? Raphaël LANGUILLON, PhD, Qualified teacher in Geography - Université Lumière Lyon 2, France Pierre-Marie CHAPON, Phd, ResearchDirector – ICADE, France Fatou Binetou DIAL, PhD, Sociologist - Institut Fondamental d’Afrique Noire - Université Cheikh Anta Diop, Sénégal Jean-François CAPEILLE, AIA Foundation, Architecture, Health, Environment, France Facilitator: Frédéric SALIEZ

/ TG3 Centralised or decentralised networks: issues of energy governance for the city

Is it conceivable that cities integrate the production and management of energy in their tasks? How is local energy governance organized in the cities where it applies (in the USA for example)? What barriers need to be overcome in the countries where energy policies are highly centralized (in France for example) in order to have decentralized management, close to sources and to the users’ needs? How to build the necessary skills in the cities?

450 / ED2 Waste reduction via an integral environmental approach

The linear economy destroys natural resources. Waste management and recycling initiatives form the basis of a circular economy and represent an alternative. However, the application of these initiatives to global public goods (water, oceans, atmosphere, biodiversity, etc...) lingers. Why can an integral environmental approach help go faster and further than the current sectorial approach? How?

150 / TD5 Renewable energy and energy transition: leveraging local resources

Leveraging local renewable resources is an exciting idea. Is it conceivable that cities tomorrow become energy self-sufficient? Do we have the means for recovering local energy in an environmentally friendly way? What about the equipment and the grey energy involved? What about the evironmental footprint of today’s existing systems? Is it feasible to use completely recyclable systems? How quickly?

Twenty years after the United Nations Habitat II Conference (City Summit), held in Istanbul in 1996, the Third United Nations conference on housing and sustainable urban development (Habitat III) will be held in 2016 to address urbanization challenges and opportunities facing cities in the millennium. The session will present the road map towards Habitat III and engage partners, in particular in the preparation of the Global Urban Agenda, a set of recommendations and actions to address new challenges and to strengthen the new role of cities and relevant institutional frameworks in sustainable urban development.

/ TF4 Financing energy transition: what are investors waiting for?

Private investors have unprecedented short-term liquidity, with only a marginal proportion invested in sustainable city projects. Yet, many cities are burdened by their unsustainable debt levels, with limited access to credit. How can cities attract investors to secure their energy transition projects? How can they reinforce their financial foundations? Which financial products would attract a greater portion of the liquidities available?

THÉÂTRE

/ OF1 Real estate hampers sustainable cities. What’s the way out?

The soaring price of land represents a significant source of funding for cities. However, it fuels sociological polarisation and urban sprawl and it modifies the retailing structure of the city centres. The prohibitive cost of land hinders ambitious and performant schemes relating to renovation and low-carbon construction. How can cities drive land prices down? Is there an abrupt correction in the property market or is it a smooth adjustment?

/ RG2 Ecology and democracy: success of citizen power, new role for local authorities

Beyond citizen participation, putting direct democracy at the heart of ecological initiatives in the city is tantamount to an upheaval in terms of governance. Are local authorities ready to change role to facilitate, guide and coordinate bottom-up actions instead of enforcing top-down decisions? How to achieve successful citizen initiatives and connect disparate initiatives in a systemic vision?

/ SG1 Fostering solidarity through time-based city planning

Urban congestion is a source of stress. It results in greeenhouse gas emissions and loss of productivity. How can cities better schedule their main activities to have extended slot allocations for mobility flows? What are the economic, social and environmental benefits of these temporal policies? What are the constraints to the generalisation of such policies? What are the catalysts for their implementation?

450 / OG2 Green infrastructure: securing, organising and strengthening nature in the city

Green and blue corridors are not gadgets. The natural infrastructure represents a key element in the smooth running of cities and is a source of energy efficiency, resilience, mitigation and adaptation to climate change. How can we secure urban green belts and protect the soil from artificialisation? How can we develop an eco-systemic approach of the city?

150 / OG1 Designing and updating the sustainability indicators of the city

Sustainable city projects combine qualitative and quantitative data across heterogeneous sectors, with fragmented and uncoordinated sources. What tools and data can best monitor the transition of the cities? How to collect quality primary data and in what areas? How can we design models that acknowledge interdependence between the various projects? How are these tools put into practice in the major projects of the sustainable city?

climatE solidarity ECOCITY has chosen to work with GERES-CO2 Solidaire, a French non-profit NGO specialized in the implementation of development and cooperation programmes. In France and in developing countries, GERES is actively involved in improving the living conditions of the poor and reducing energy poverty. GERES programmes include environmental conservation as well as climate change mitigation and adaptation. GERES has developed the innovative concept of Climate Solidarity which combines two complementary and inextricably linked objectives: Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the North. Assistance to the populations in the South in relation to climate change impacts

From 25 to 27 September, the ECOCITY delegates who will pay 10 € upon registration will be invited to choose one of the carbon offset projects

Mali - Global Stove Programme

In 2010, GERES launched the CEnAO project - Climate and Energy in West Africa - to combat energy poverty and protect wood resources. The programme aims to strengthen the local production and distribution of stoves – called SEiWA- and make it more sustainable. The objective of CEnAO is to ensure that the largest part of the population has access to this technology which will facilitate local economic sustainable development and at the same time reduce the climate change impacts.

FEEDING THE 5000 Tristram Stuart & Disco Soupe After London, Paris and Nairobi, Tristram Stuart will be in Nantes during ECOCITY to organize Feeding the 5,000, a giant meal served to all the local citizens, using only food products that otherwise would have been wasted. The event is part of a global campaign launched by UNEP and FAO (ECOCITY partners) against food waste. On this occasion, Tristram Stuart will ask 200 mayors worldwide to sign a commitment to the fight against food waste. Three associations based in Nantes – Disco Soup, Cré’Alters and Nantes in Transition – have joined the initiative.

The giant meal will be held on Wednesday, from 18.00 to 22.00, at the Nefs on ‘Île de Nantes’. Free access.

This group of music enthusiasts is managed by the association ‘CitéMonde’. The initiative aims to bring together professional artists (local and international) and the voices of our city. Urban Voices’ credits include four original musical works seen and heard by tens of thousands of people under the name “Tambours à Nantes”, the new identity given to the cultural and social activities of the association.

«Build the change» with LEGO

TELL US YOUR DREAMS FOR THE CITY OF THE FUTURE From 25 to 29 September at La Cité Nantes Events Center

THECHANGE

A partner of ECOCITY, LEGO® brings 2 million LEGO® bricks for children to build their sustainable city during the whole week. From schools and high schools to leisure centres and families, 3,500 to 4,000 children are expected to take part in this gigantic construction work at the heart of La Cité Nantes Events Center. ECOCITY has decided to radiate across the city and ensure that the World Summit on Sustainable Cities makes a real impact on our daily life, beyond the presence of experts and officials. The aim is to give children a voice and the opportunity to express their expectations and vision of the sustainable city. How do children see the city ? What facilities would they like to have and for what use? How do they express these requirements? What are their ideas about transport ? What about the place of Nature in cities ? Their production will help nurture the reflections and actions of the elected officials, businesses, NGOs, banks and citizens who together form the sustainable city. As such, their work is considered an integral part of ECOCITY as it illustrates the various challenges that civic commitment, education of the younger generations and the integrated approach of the sustainable city issues currently present.
