Green and blue infrastructure empowers local governments to design the high-quality integrated urban systems of tomorrow

10 June 2022

In the fight against climate change, combining Green and Blue Infrastructure (GBI) planning strategies with urban systems integration is a promising strategy for reducing carbon emissions and waste production whilst strengthening cities’ ecosystem services. The IFWEN project fills an important knowledge gap by demonstrating which types of GBI and ecoservice are connected, as well as showing policy makers how GBI can be used as an instrument for transformative change.

Cities are like people: an efficient metabolism is essential for a vibrant, resilient and healthy existence

Building on more than 30 published academic papers and extensive modelling the METABOLIC project proves possible energy- and water gains from treating food, water and energy as interrelated systems and delivers recommendations to policy makers on national as well as local level in Brazil, Taiwan and Japan.

Project results from ENLARGE pave the way for sustainable urban heating, tailored to neighbourhood needs without compromising energy resilience or social justice

16 May 2022

Combining data and modelling with an ethnographic approach, the ENLARGE project demonstrates why a nexus approach to urban heating (integrating energy and water systems) can decrease reliance on oil and gas, increase energy security, and mitigate risks such as water stress and social conflict. Project outputs include an optimisation model that determines which heat technologies produce the lowest carbon emissions and provides relevant data for decision-making at the neighbourhood scale and determining city level emissions.
