GREEN CITY
TEAM: Bora Aliaj, Helen Murch, Isobel Knapp, Matt Coyne
How do we safeguard and deliver high environmental standards and sustainable lifestyles in the context of an increasing intensification of land use?
HIGH ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE
INTESIFICATION
Restoring links between the built environment and nature to provide for human and natural ecosystem needs and wellbeing.
Attempt to reduce people's carbon footprint by providing alternative methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet.
To reach a density of 500 PPH, both the built form and the land use needs to be intesified.

Solar panels or solar cells incorporated into apartment fabric; 5. ENVAC waste treatment converted into heat energy and bio-gas for use in district heating plants and public transport. Winter
6. Section of the tram line in the neighborhood centre; 7. Section of primary road with bus lanes, car lanes and cycle lanes; 8. Nevile Mars evergreensolar trees, that act as a go-to source for clean renewable energy while providing a shady spot for cars to park as they charge; 9. Solar Tree street light in Vienna, harvests sun energy during the day to power itself during the night; 10. Power- generating floor tiles, used to harvest energy from the footsteps of people in busy places; 11. Movable facades concept for buildings.

1. Different building typologies to incorporate within the site; 2. Example of shared street and active frontages in the neighbourhood centre; 3. Atmosphere for residential blocks, a mix of public, private and green spaces; 4. Stepped Residential and Commercial Block designed by NL Architects for CBD Development in Amsterdam; 5. Conceptual sketch of main road along the neighbourhood centre, a mix of uses, shared spaces and green areas; 6. Example of how to connect buildings/ street in the air concept.
CONCLUSION - In what ways can we create a green transport corridor using innovative technology? - How can we deliver a fully incorporated green environment through usage of green energy? - How can we ensure that the built environment is adequately connected with nature in high density developments? CONCLUSION - How can we bridge expansive gaps between blocks, whilst keeping efficient movement and high quality place attributes? - How can we maintain place identity, character and heritage whilst intensifying population and land use? - What is the best way to retrofit roof tops for greater efficiency of space utilisation? - How can we maintain a human scale in a high density built environment?
