IMPACT 360°Success Stories from the Sustainable Urban Environment- Thursday 10th February 2011
the IDCOP projectSUCCESS STORY - THE SUBET TOOL
“Innovation in Design, Construction & Operation of Buildings for People” (IDCOP) July 2004 – February 2009, was a multi-institutional research programme funded under the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Sustainable Urban Environment (SUE) programme.
the IDCOP projectSUCCESS STORY - THE SUBET TOOL
This study is focused on the impact of one activity within the IDCOP project which has expanded beyond the project into the on-going development of the Sustainable Built Enviroment Tool (SuBET) tool by Matt Kitson of Hilson Moran and two of the researchers, Professor Derek Clements-Croome (University of Reading) and Dr Husam Al Waer (now a lecturer at the University of Dundee).

SuBET – Sustainable Urban Built Environment Tool
Framework for Masterplanning
Voluntary system
Can be used internationally
Covers the 3 pillars of sustainability
Environmental, Social-Cultural & Economic
Micro to Global sustainability issues:
Micro scale (water, energy)
Meso scale (land use, site selection, flood risk)
Macro scale (greenhouse gas, transport, infrastructure)
Global scale (city planning and regeneration policy)
Brings stakeholders together
A Place to Live, Work, Play and Enjoy the Quality of life now and in the future (City DNA!!)
Sustainable Communities

I“In theory, theory and practice are the same; in
practice, they aren’t” ...SANTA FE INSTITUTE
“Good design may initially cost a little more in time and thought,
although not necessarily in money. But the end result is more
pleasing to the eye and more efficient, costs less to maintain
and is kinder to the environment.” Hansard – Lord Rea,House of Lords, 2003
The best designed SCHOOLS encourage children to learn.
Well designed community help citizens to Live, Work, Play
and Enjoy quality of life now and in the future (whole
System approach).
what is evident in those principles is the need for a
shift from an ‘accident and emergency’ approach to place making to
a ‘preventative medicine’ model.
Global Challenge
World Population Growth
Energy Consumption by Sector
Source: Data from the G-Econ project Transport 34%
Buildings 44% Source: Energy Consumption in the UK, DTI
Industry 22%
Holistic 70%
» Population increase and economic growth = growing demand ???

50%
World Energy Consumption
80% CO2 Reduction with 3 billion more people In 2050 !!??
as the human spaces becomes more urban we consume more,
travel more and pollute more (Edwards, 2001, p. 21).

CHALLENGES AHEAD
• People lost touch with what made spaces and cities great
• Cities suffer from a lack of Synergy and connection• This leads to Placelessness
Places for the People
With segregated
approaches put into play Fragmented Cities
Sustainability (Combining Social, Economic and Environmental) Neutral
100% less bad
Sustainable CommunitiesGreater concentration on the community, but not the main
concentration
Successful Place-making
Places designed with the community in mind
Ecological placesFocusing mainly on nature
Conventional PracticeOne Step better than breaking
the law
Degrading Places
Fragmented
Technologies/Techniques
Whole system thinking that incorporates all attributes that affect place making
Creating Places that people want to live, work and enjoy quality of life now and in the future
Successful Place-making -Integrated Approach

"Place making is the process of creating ‘places’ that provide economic, intellectual, cultural, emotional and sensory nourishment for the
people who will use them. It is an iterative process that builds relationships between people, and between people and their places.”-

Lessons from the Past – Detroit
Detroit, USA
• 4th most powerful economic US cities in the 1950’s
• A city founded on 1 main industry (the car)
• City transportation based on the car
• Large exodus to the suburbs
• City centre derelict• Drug culture and social
deprivation• 50% unemployment

Geddes shared the belief that social processes and spatial form are related.
Therefore, by changing the spatial form it is possible to change the social structure as well.
His Principles of Town Planning:• Preservation of human life and energy, rather than
superficial beautification• Conformity to an orderly development plan carried
out in stages• Purchasing land suitable for building• Promoting trade and commerce• Preserving historic buildings and buildings of
religious significance• Developing a city worthy of civic pride, not an
imitation of European cities• Promoting the happiness, health and comfort of all
residents, rather than focusing on roads and parks available only to the rich
• Control over future growth with adequate provision for future requirements
Sir Patrick Geddes
