MUSIC PARTNER MEETING LUXEMBOURG 18-20 MEI 2011
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
ON A PERSONAL NOTE Dear GIS and TM frontrunners, I really felt that during our Luxembourg meeting that we were learning together! Why? Because of your personal commitment to make MUSIC work and because of your openness to share and to explore thoughts, and ideas... It was a pleasure to moderate this partner meeting. I hope you this meeting motivated to continue working on your urban transition. This visual memory aid is meant to keep you inspired. I hope it helps to relive and recall our discussions. See you in Aberdeen! Pepik@meneeerdeleeuw.nl
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
INTRODUCTION During the kick off MUSIC meeting in Rotterdam MUSIC cities met for the first time. All showed their committed to apply Transition Management (TM) and use GIS as a tool to make progress in their quest to meet their climate targets. Five months we meet again. What has happened since? How and in which context did each city apply TM and GIS? What is the next step? What are the objectives for November in Aberdeen? These are the main questions the thirty participants covered during this intense two day Music Partner Meeting in Luxembourg City.
I WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT OTHER CITIES AND THE APPLICATION TRANSITION MANAGEMENT AND GIS! VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
CONTENTS LOOKING WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING - Video portraits (Flip Coaches) LOOKING BACK - Transition Pitches - Energy systems (Notes Ulrich) LOOKING FORWARD - Application of GIS (Notes Ulrich) - Arena Simulation (Notes Suzanne) - Objectives Aberdeen
LOOKING WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING Five very different cities work on their climate challenges using transition management & GIS for the first time. The more we know and understand about each other’s context the more we can understand and learn from each other... We started our meeting by looking without understanding...
WHAT DO YOU SEE?

LOOKING BACK TRANSITION PITCHES
&
=> Imagine you are in front of 30 frontrunners with this transition pitch, you want to to engage the arena process... ...you have 10 minutes to reach out to their harts and mind! IT WAS MOST INTERESTING TO SEE HOW THE DIFFERENT CITIES USED TRANSITION ANALYSIS CONCEPTS IN THEIR OWN CONTEXT
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
ENERGY SYSTEM
=> Define and discuss your city energy system by: - Completing the energy modelling graph with a list of demand devices per sector, conversion types, local energy production. - Locating the demand devices per sector on the map. - Identifying on both map and graph the CO2 emission activities. - Identifying and discuss opportunities to reduce CO2 emissions.

TRANSITION PITCH
GHENT TEAM IS FRONT RUNNER AS IT CARRIED OUT THE FIRST ARENA AND COULD REFLECT ON THIS EXPERIENCE VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
‘Ghent’s specificity lies in the production of energy on its territory. This production is based on coal for one plant, on gas for two others and on waste for one plant providing steam to a hospital. There is also green electricity being produced. The graph of the different sectors shows the variety of demand devices and of energy carriers to be provided for each type of devices.’ Notes Ulrich

‘ Five stocks have been quantified during the first step of analysis. The question is now : how are they going to develop? Growing, shrinking, totally disappearing ? Three possible scenarios 1- the DOOM one, the germ is dead for the benefice of promotors and upper Class 2- Montreuil keeps feeding the germ : it remains a social and economic experimentation, garden. 3- The germ vanishes into its realization. Montreuil becomes a urban park. industrial and technical eco-solutions... Now what is the urge ? Today Montreuil is a fragmented city, in transition....’
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
‘Montreuil is fully covered with urban areas, except for a couple of parks. The western part is covered with old buildings (19th century) whereas the eastern part is characterised with social collective housing from the 1960s. Montreuil imports gas for collective housing and other demand devices across the demand sectors. Electricity from nuclear power plants is also imported for all sectors.
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
But Montreuil also exports electricity from solar panels. Montreuil identified as the main sectors concerning CO2 emissions reduction the residential heating systems (biomass, co-generation), the energy efficiency of housings (refurbishment), the raising of awareness among the population on the use of energy and, finally the reduction of car use (alternative modes).’ Notes Ulrich

ENERGY CONCEPT OF LUDWIGSBURG - TO BE IMPLEMENTED WITH YOUR HELP!
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
‘Ludwigsburg has a CHP plant running. Besides they export electricity from various sources: solar panels, wood chip power plant, biogas, geothermal (combined with CHP) and waste power. The residential sector represents as much as 45 % of the demand and the industry 12 %. Demand services in terms of heating and cooling were identified as the main “hot spots”.
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
Solutions include the use of Geothermal potential and the development of a solar cadaster. More e-mobility is also required through the use of alternative engines.’ Notes Ulrich

ENERGY CONCEPT OF LUDWIGSBURG - TO BE IMPLEMENTED WITH YOUR HELP!
USE THE ARENA TO GET FROM LIST OF POSSIBLE CLIMATE SOLUTIONS TO INTEGRAL SPACIAL VISION VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
‘Rotterdam produced one map and two graphs. One graph for the urban area itself and one graph for the harbour. 83 % of the overall city energy consumption is taking place in the harbour. 63 % of the dwellings are from social housing companies, which facilitates the dialogue on the technical evolution of the buildings.
From the harbour there are huge heat losses coming from the petroleum refineries and the energy industry. Transport is the second sector in both urban and harbour areas. Rotterdam gave on the graph the details on the five main categories of the industrial sector within the urban area..’ Notes Ulrich
IS CO2 OF THE HARBOR PART OF ROTTERDAM?
VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
LOOKING FORWARD GIS ⇒The main objectives of Aberdeen is to use GIS for interpretation of social deprivation. ⇒Gent hopes that the GIS model developed within the MUSIC will help to detect more business cases for CO2 reduction. ⇒Ludwigsburg is still finding out on how to use GIS in MUSIC. ⇒The GIS project work for Montreuil is to setup a GIS architecture itself that can be used by the city administration and the public. A request from Montreuil is to set up a model of transportation modes. ⇒Rotterdam and Gent would like to work closer together on a sustainability index and how to measure progress over the years.

1 HOW NEW ARE THE PERSPECTIVES YOU DEVELOPED THE THE TM ANALYSIS?
Derk Loorbach is a specialist in societal transitions. He has compiled information from interviews. There are a couple of rules: all here as individuals, frontrunners within your organizations, you have been handpicked open creative dialogue. ‘Urban unsustainability lock-in. All sustainability problems are interconnected. Persistent problems: how do we get people involved? Why don’t the alternatives that are out there break through? We believe the real problem is institutional. We need to look differently at this problem. Not optimize the current optimization strategies. From a historical problem you see that in the 1950s and 1960s, the problems weren’t wicked: there was consensus on the solutions and consensus on the nature of the problem. A ‘command and control’ government to deal with this. In the 70s, there was more discussion on what the problems and solutions exactly are. The market was seen as a method to figure out the best reaction to problems: ‘laissez-faire’ government. Currently: as many definitions of problems as there are people, for solutions as well. Markets might optimize and create efficiency, but also lead to more consumption. So now we are thinking on the role of government, governance. Need a policy transition: the current way of governance is part of the problem. ‘
LOOKING FORWARD ARENA SIMULATION VISUAL MEMORY AID MUSIC PARTNER MEETING MAY 2011
Derk has tried to trigger us. What needs to be done for sustainabledevelopment? What can make you more effective in your practice? Next time: our understanding of what makes change in society, from this understanding how we can be more effective and be part of this movement. Some clues are: do you really see what is happening and where the energy is? Think of projects that were effective in reaching this energy. Can we extend the passengers on the boat from mayor and policy makers to inhabitants and other people? (Notes Suzanne)
I AM THE PROBLEM?
Balance is important in an arena session: - Head and heart (intellectually stimulating & sense making) - Doom and bloom (acknowledging wicked problems & opportunities)
AM I THE PROBLEM?
In a normal arena, you have different worldviews, which causes clashes and discussions. Wake up calls induced by other arena participants. The facilitators give a ‘setup’ (as in volleyball) and the game is played between the participants.
AS A LOCAL COUNCIL, WE NEED TO FACILITATE FOR OTHER PARTIES, AND TAKE CARE OF THINGS THAT COMPANIES CAN’T TAKE CARE OF
BEFORE THE ECONOMIC CRISIS, THERE WAS TOO MUCH BLUEPRINT THINKING. NOW, IT TURNED OUT THIS DOESN’T (ALWAYS) WORK.
IF LOCAL AUTHORITIES ALWAYS DO WHAT THEY DID, THERE’S NEVER GOING TO BE OPPORTUNITY FOR CHANGE. FRUSTRATING THAT WE GO BACK TO WHAT WE KNOW. WHILE YOU’RE MAKING PLANS, SOCIETY IS MOVING IN THE OTHER DIRECTION’.
