KKKH 4284 – Perancangan Bandar Lestari

BACKGROUND• Situated in the Fennoscandian region of

Northern Europe • Finland's area, at 337,030 square kilometers

(130,127 square miles).• Bordered by Sweden to the west, Norway to

the north, Russian to the east and Estonia to the south

• Turku is the main city in its region as well as the cultural and economic centre of Western Finland.

• The city was rebuilt according to a grid pattern of rectangular blocks in which the relatively broad streets should prevent raging fires.

BACKGROUND

POPULATION

• As of 2013 – population around 5.5 million *majority concentrated in its southern region

• There were roughly 303 500 inhabitants living in the Turku sub-region in the year 2007, which makes it the third largest urban area in Finland after the Greater Helsinki area and Tampere sub-region.

ENVIRONMENT• The major sources of greenhouse gas

emissions in the city.

(SEAP)• Turku’s Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP)

INFRASTRUCTUREPRIORITY INFRASTRUCTURE SOLUTIONGreen logistic •Downsize vehicle fleets and infrastructure in the city centre and upgrade vehicles to zero emission technology •Build tailored solutions for customers requiring zero emissions for their products or serviceTraffic management •Encourage P&R, guide drivers to the best parking places, charge for entry to congested areas, and car and bike sharing.

INFRASTRUCTUREBiogas • The gas can be piped for use directly as

a burnable fuel or used to power an electricity generator.

Building control and management• Enable energy efficiency in new

buildings and renovations

LONG TERM SOLUTION

• This two project very attractive but need substantial work and funding.

• Would build on the immediate opportunities to create a sustainable transport and energy infrastructure.

Light rail transport Smart Grid

LIGHT RAIL TRANSPORT

• A way to improve air quality and diminish environmental impact by reducing CO2 and pollutant emissions via traffic reduction and optimization.

• Light rail gives also an opportunity to reshape, harmonize and develop a city An opportunity for Turku to take the path towards a sustainable transportation system and a wealthy and livable environment..

LIGHT RAIL TRANSPORT

SMART GRID

• The smart grid concept brings together the electricity and communications infrastructure to help match supply and demand.

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

• Geothermal/ground heat – using heat stored in soil, rock or water systems, transferred to a water-based heating system using a heat pump.

• Heat machines and chillers – capture heat that would otherwise be wasted, either from cooling equipment or heat production in boilers or power plants

• Public lighting – technical and operational options can cut energy use, including sodium-vapor lamps instead of mercury, LED technology and improved control systems.

• Micro combined heat and power (CHP) – small-scale power generation producing electricity from heat at low temperatures using a fluid such as silicon oil instead of water.

• Smart parking – using parking regulation to encourage lower emissions vehicles and co-modality.

OTHER OPPORTUNITIES

• Smart Parking

BEST PRACTICE BENEFITBenefits From Light Rail Network• Produce no local air pollution and use a

quarter of the energy of a bus and a tenth of average car consumption per passenger/km.

• The study evaluated the effects a light rail network would have on Turku from an ecological and economic point of view.

• An integrated light rail solution would reduce carbon emission by 11 percent by 2035.

• Properties value alongside the network would increase by an estimated total of 480 to 850 million euro in conservative scenario.

Benefits for the city’s competitiveness and attractiveness

• Increase in the use of public transport can reduce the gas emissions.

• The integrated light rail solution would increase the number of public transport trips in Turku by 40 percent before 2035.

BEST PRACTICE BENEFIT

BEST PRACTICE BENEFITReduce emissions• It is estimated that CO2 emissions from vehicle

traffic in Turku will rise by 25 percent, 130,000 tons by 2035.

• Approximately 88 percent of emissions come from cars and 12 percent from buses. .

• Corresponding to an emission level of 110,000 tons.

• The integrated light rail solution would reduce NOx by an additional 12 percent to about 250 tons in 2035.

• One light rail carriage is equivalent to 40 cars and two buses.

BEST PRACTICE BENEFITProperty value will rise• The study shows that property values

will rise in areas that are within walking distance of the light rail system

• The price increase is expected to occur in 800 meter buffer zone along the planned light rail lines.

• The value estimated would rise about 480 to 850 million euros in 2035.
