World Population Estimates (UN report 2007)
1. 50% of Global Population – Currently live in dense urban areas (red line)
2. Increased Urban Densification – Urbanization trend will continue for the foreseeable future(rural populations will flatten and decrease)
3. Increased Inefficient Energy Use – Leading to increased carbon emissions and climate changeMIT Media Lab Changing Places & Smart Cities Group

Big Problem: Buildings and Transportation
In the 21st century about 90% of population growth will be in urban areas; these will account for 60% ofthe population and 80% of the wealth. Hence, the pattern of future energy demand will increasingly bedetermined by urban networks.
Transportation and building operations typically account for at least 60% of urban energy use.
In congested urban areas, about 40% of total gasoline use is in cars looking for parking.-Imperial College Urban Energy Systems Project

11 percent of the air pollution iscaused by scooters.

Congestion and Pollution(Taiwan Case)

1. Private Automobiles – Major source of pollution and carbon emissions; massive congestion,parking, and noise problems
2. Public Transportation – Does not cover the entire city; inconvenient and inflexible schedules
3. First Mile-Last Mile Problem – Of public transit is not solved
Current Problems in CitiesCongestion, Carbon Emissions, Poor Land-Use

Restrictions to Private Car Ownership
1. License Plate Lottery – Beijing has restricted number of licenses to 240,000 for new cars (2011)
2. Taxation and other limits – Certificate of Entitlement (COE) and Additional Registration Fee(ARF) of Singapore designed to limit the total number of cars through a bidding system andtaxation (140% in addition to cost of vehicle)
3. Congestion Pricing – London, Singapore, Stockholm, Milan
4. License Plate Rationing – Restricts driving based on license plate number (Mexico City, Bogotá,São Paulo, Auckland, Athens, and Santiago)

The Emergence of Vehicle Sharing
1. Bicycle Sharing is exploding: By 2008 more than 80 cities around the world will offer the service.Paris’s Vélib bike sharing system utilizes over 30,000 bikes at 1400 stations.
2. Car Sharing systems like ZipCar, Car2go (by Daimler-Benz), and Autolib (car version of Vélib)are rapidly expanding.
3. 5000 cars in the US, 10% adoption rates in cities, over 600 cities in the world have it.MIT Media Lab Changing Places & Smart Cities Group

Renewable Power, Energy Storage, and Smart GridsWith large-scale use, carstacks throw enormousbattery capacity into theelectrical grid.
Effective utilization ofinexpensive, off-peakpower and clean butintermittent powersources – solar, wind,wave, etc.
A smart, distributedpower generation systemcomposed of thesesources (the entire cityas a virtual power plant)minimizes transmissionlosses.
