Megatrends

Cities are competing globallyto make their urban areas attractive to live and to invest in

Megatrends and Sustainable Urban Development

Globalization & Urbanization Global players / trade volume increase 2030: 60% of population in cities High density living demands for new

patterns in infrastructure

Demographic Change 65+ generation will nearly double

by 2030 (from 7% to 12%) Need for adequate infrastructures

as well as health- and elder care

Climate Change Cities responsible for ~80% GHG Need for resource efficiency

and environmental care

Challenge to balance between competitiveness, environment and quality of life, and to finance infrastructure solutions

Achieve committed CO2 targets

Sustainable Urban Development


Perceptionstudies

Megacity Challenges Comprehensive analysis based on interviews with

over 500 city managers in 25 selected megacities Urban infrastructure trends and challenges as well

as global best practices Commissioned research to GlobScan and MRCMH Other studies: The Sustainable Cities Challenge in Canada,

ICT for City Management

Comparativestudies

Green City Index (commissioned research to EIU) Index compares cities across 8 dimensions of

sustainability: CO2, Energy, Buildings, Transport, Waste & Land Use, Water, Air, Governance

Europe, Africa, North / South America, Asia, Germany Deep-Dives in infrastructure, e.g. Complete Mobility Index

Implemen-tation studies

Sustainable urban infrastructure series "How to become a sustainable city" with focus on

measures for resource efficiency and CO2 abatement Examples: Dublin, London, Munich, Yekaterinburg,

Trondheim, ...

Siemens insights into "how to become sustainable", jointly developed with major world cities


Cities need pioneering solutions to solve their problems

From closed island solutions and single products to cross-linked intelligent infrastructure solutions

How to get enough electric power, …how to bring enough goods into the city?

How to manage the ever increasing traffic?

How to reduce the energy consumption … and emissions?

How to ensure security and safetyof people?

How to finance all this?


Cities have various options to improve energy efficiency, eco-friendliness and quality of life

Registering on a central system


High-voltage urban link

Efficient energy transport by HV close to the consumer

Industry

40% less energy consumption with variable-speed drives

Complete Mobility

Higher attractiveness of public transport (reduced waiting and up to 20% fuel savings)

Street lighting

Potential in Europe:3.5 million tons less CO2 emissions with LED systems

Efficient energy production

Combined Cycle: From 50% to 60%

Steam Power Plant: From 40% to 47%

CO2-free energy to the city

Example HVDC: China 800 kV, 6.4 GW, 2,000 km

Building technologies

30% less energy used through buildingenergy management

SIPLINK

12 tons less CO2 emis-sions per ship and day by local grid connection

Renewables

Wind turbines: Efficiency up from 1 MW to 6 MW (gearless)

Traffic management systemTraffic speed: +37%Commuter times cut

by 17%

Existing technology achieves high gains in efficiency and CO2 abatement
