Sharing Values
Cities, Culture and Climate Change Metrics
Nearly two thirds of these existing buildings will still be here in the year 2030
This will amount to nearly 60% of the total building stock in the world
Total global building stock is approximately 1.5 trillion square feet
By 2030, 900 billion square feet will be built and rebuilt globally
Between 2011 and 2030, the world population is expected to increase by 1.35 billion (from 6.97 billion to 8.32 billion)
Urban areas are expected to gain about 1.35 billion people by 2030, absorbing the entire population growth estimate.
Every year, approximately 38 billion square feet of building floor space will be built new, & 21 billion square feet of buildings will be rebuilt.
Premises & Opportunity
Today, over half of the world population lives in urban areas
The amount of change that a system can absorb and still
retain the same structure and
function
The degree to which the system is capable of self-organization
The degree to which the system can build
and increase the capacity of learning
and adaptation

NYC 80 by 501) Lead by example: the City will pave the way in making our buildings more
energy efficient and encourage early adopters to do the same.2) Empower building owners to realize the benefits of a more energy
efficient building stock, private building owners must be empowered to act.
3) Hold New York City’s buildings to the highest energy performance standards.
4) Ensure benefits are shared by New Yorkers in every borough.5) Use data, analysis, and stakeholder feedback to drive the approach.

Civic Identity and Cultural Value
Plan emphasis is not only economic, but also focused on New Yorker’s sense of identity as a global leader in architecture and technology. -Education and Training -Focus on affordable housing stock -Community Driven Outreach to Accelerate Small- and Mid-sized Building Retrofits
