Overview of Lower Ninth Ward Rebuilding Plan
―In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of governing himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price.‖ (Ronald Reagan, Jan 20, 1981)

Landfill Complete With Topsoil Grading
The red crosses are the points that were surveyed. Both sides of the road were surveyed, and then a bit at the top of the landfill. The corners (lowest elevations) are points surveyed to show the difference in height from the paved road to the top.
Next slides show different views.

Prospect developers are currently planning a "SolarVillage" for inclusion in the development. Partly inspiredby CU's 2002 Solar Decathlon project, the Solar Villagewill include housing and small commercial enterprises.Plans for CU's 2005 Solar Decathlon BioS(h)IP to beplaced in Prospect New Town near the Solar Village arein motion. Following the 2005 Solar Decathloncompetition, the CU Home will be displayed on theBoulder campus for six months before movingpermanently to Prospect.

STEP 2A - ―THE SOLAR COMMUNITY‖
Army Hawaii Family Housing Army Hawaii Family Housing is the largest
privatization project awarded by theArmy, serving more than 20,000residents. At completion the project willinclude 7,894 homes at seven differentinstallations and 19 separate sites on theisland. The construction and renovation ofthese homes will be completed by 2015.Actus Lend Lease will continue to own,operate and manage the project throughat least 2055.
Families living in these neighborhoods willenjoy an environmentally-friendly, master-planned community that seamlesslyintegrates residents, homes, amenitiesand services. Several Community Centerswill be completed during the initialdevelopment period, each one serving asthe town center for individual villages.
Army Hawaii Family Housing believes inprotecting the environment and doingwhat we can to reduce energy costs andconserve resources. Upon completion,Army Hawaii Family Housing will be theworld's largest solar powered community.Recycling trees and construction materialis also on the forefront of this project.Rather than having waste end up inlandfills, Actus Lend Lease is reusingdemolition waste in asphalt and otherbuilding materials.
Mary Schmidtke, executive assistant at Actus Lend Lease, displays solar panels that will be part of the Army energy network
STEP 2A - ―THE SOLAR COMMUNITY‖
BedZED, the Beddington Zero EnergyDevelopment, is an environmentally-friendly,energy-efficient mix of housing and workspace in Beddington, Sutton. BedZED willonly use energy from renewable sourcesgenerated on site. It is the first large-scale‗carbon neutral‘ community - i.e. the first notto add to the amount of carbon dioxide inthe atmosphere. BedZED shows howhousing can be built without degrading theenvironment. BedZED turns a formersewage works into a community of 100properties for sale and rent, a childcarefacility and plenty of green space, includingprivate gardens.
The BedZED urban system reconciles highdensity three storey city blocks with highresidential and workspace amenity.Workspace is placed in the shade zones ofsouth facing housing terraces, withskygardens created on the workspace roofs,enabling all flats to have outdoor gardenareas, with good access to sunlight, at thesame time as providing well daylit workspacewithout problematic summer overheating.The combination of superinsulation, a winddriven ventilation system incorporating heatrecovery, and passive solar gain storedwithin each flat by thermally massive floorsand walls - reduces the need for bothelectricity and heat to the point where a 130kw wood fuelled chp station can meet theenergy requirements for a community ofaround 240 residents and 200 workers.

STEP 2C – ―PLUG-IN VEHICLES—ONE WAY FLOW OF ELECTRICITY‖
Hybrid Living Home
Lithium Energy System: Our advanced Lithium battery technology is implemented into the house design and system infrastructure. The wind turbines and PV panels will charge the proprietary lithium battery system that in turn will provide for all of the electrical requirements of the home. Including the charging of our electric vehicles.
STEP 3 – ―THE RENEWABLE ENERGY COMMUNITY‖ Dongtan, China
British engineering firm, Arup, is working as a strategic partner with ShanghaiIndustrial Investment Corporation (SIIC) on the integrated masterplanning for theworld‘s first sustainable city.
At three quarters the size of Manhattan and located on the third largest island inChina at the mouth of the Yangtse river, Dongtan will be developed on 630hectares of land as a sustainable city to attract a range of commercial and leisureinvestments.
Ecologically sensitive design will be a key element of the masterplan. The site ismostly agricultural land adjacent to a huge wetland of global importance. This willbe a significant opportunity to apply our integrated sustainability and urbanplanning expertise to the benefit of the eco-city
SIIC’s vision is to create a development with low energy consumptionthat is as close to being carbon neutral as possible. This urban centre,where people will be able to live and work in a high-qualityenvironment, could be the template for sustainability in city planning,not only in China but elsewhere in the world.
