the field of urban development, based on synergy of expertise of the young professionals present. It was an event with (ca. 50) enthusiastic people, a lot of positive energy, and a creative setting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the end of the evening six ideas were presented. The ideas are different but there are also some similarities, like the general usability in urban areas and closing loops or cycles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the last months of this year you will hear more about the ideas, and the final business cases.

Scheveningen is the perfect combination between The Hague’s ambitious future and the relaxing shore environment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Goal&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The goal is to end with 5 potential business cases, which are [later this year] to be presented to the senior management of participating companies and the important stakeholders of The Binckhorst.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4327001249849286238-6408623077118759177?l=syncity09.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/feeds/6408623077118759177/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/2009/08/syn-city-2009-story.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4327001249849286238/posts/default/6408623077118759177'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4327001249849286238/posts/default/6408623077118759177'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/2009/08/syn-city-2009-story.html' title='Syn City 2009 - The full story'/><author><name>Thijs</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10615803545160068688</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327001249849286238.post-4885755962431170199</id><published>2009-08-06T12:03:00.003+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-22T11:51:31.273+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Core-team SynCity</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SynCity 2009 'The Binckhorst Reloaded' is organised by:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_R6_f8hZ1BQ0/So0gJLxSU_I/AAAAAAAACWs/1c-BCbU1f50/s1600-h/Thijs.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5371985272673293298" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;

In een dergelijke synergie komen diverse functies van een omgeving (wonen, bedrijvigheid/industrie, recreatie, ecologie etc.) bij elkaar en vormen een keten en/of cyclus. Hierbij worden energie-, stof en logistieke stromen gedeeld of gezamenlijk opgewekt/beheerd. Door samenwerking kunnen winsten geboekt worden op gebieden als efficiëntie (minder energieverbruik, schaalvergroting, minder afval en afval wordt grondstof ), ecologie (minder emissies), economie (minder kosten door hogere efficiëntie en minder emissies).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De synergie tussen de gebiedsfuncties kan plaatsvinden door het aan een schakelen van de functies in een cyclus of in een keten. In een cyclus spreken we over een gesloten omgeving, waarbij de verliezen (energie, afval) zo min mogelijk zullen zijn.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Door het afstemmen en koppelen van de diverse systemen worden de diverse gebiedsfuncties afhankelijk van elkaar. Deze afhankelijkheid kan beperkt worden door voorzieningen te treffen, zoals door een energetisch autarkisch systeem toch te koppelen aan het energienet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Praktijkvoorbeelden&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;In de praktijk kan men dus industrie koppelen met woonwijken, waarbij energiestromen en stofstromen gedeeld worden. In Kalundborg (Denemarken) heeft de stad een warmtenet dat gevoed wordt door de restwarmte van de eletriciteitscentrale. Tevens zijn er diverse industriële bedrijven aan elkaar gekoppeld zodat bijvoorbeeld afvalstromen, in plaats van ruwe delfstoffen, de grondstoffen vormen voor producten.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In het concept van de Zonneterp, worden woonwijken gekoppeld via vergistings- en composteringsprocessen gekoppeld met de tuinbouw. In dit concept wordt organisch afval vergist voor energieopwekking, waarna het restmateriaal gecomposteerd wordt voor de bemesting van de tuinbouwgewassen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Potentie&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;Door deze vormen van samenwerking kunnen bestaande technieken gekoppeld worden waardoor er duurzame innovatieve systemen ontstaan. In deze systemen wordt aldus verantwoord omgegaan met de leefomgeving door het voorzien in behoeften en het beperken van schadelijke emissies. Deze systemen kunnen ook de voedingsbodem zijn voor het uittesten/ volwassen worden van nieuwe technologieën en het creëren van nieuwe producten of diensten. Gedacht kan worden aan de Happy Shrimp Farm, productie van diverse secundaire bouwmaterialen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Beleving en inbedding in het landschap&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;De innovatieve samenwerkingsvormen dienen tevens in balans te zijn met de omgeving waarin zij zich bevinden. Om dit te bewerkstelligen dient men bij de bouw/installatie de gebiedsfuncties en systemen zo goed mogelijk in te passen in het bestaande landschap. Hierbij spelen bouwstijl, de keuze van de bouwmaterialen/ -technieken een belangrijke rol. Door bijvoorbeeld de verdiepte aanleg en/of vegetatiedaken kunnen storende elementen in het landschap voorkomen of gecamoufleerd worden. Door (het aan een schakelen van) ontstaat tevens een “tweede” landschap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Nieuwe diensten&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Woon- en bedrijfsgebieden hebben tevens behoefte aan bepaalde dienstverlening. De behoefte en de voorzieningen zijn niet altijd in balans met elkaar. Postkantoren en bankfilialen zijn de laatste jaren alleen maar gereduceerd. Gedacht kan worden om diverse diensten te koppelen; Zoals een tram die naast personen ook goederen vervoerd.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4327001249849286238-5193207979271923308?l=syncity09.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/feeds/5193207979271923308/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/2009/08/synergie-in-de-keten-en-kringloop.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4327001249849286238/posts/default/5193207979271923308'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4327001249849286238/posts/default/5193207979271923308'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/2009/08/synergie-in-de-keten-en-kringloop.html' title='Synergie in de keten en kringloop'/><author><name>cheruchan</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_R6_f8hZ1BQ0/SpwwnPI4-eI/AAAAAAAACds/sjfoub_0pck/S220/P1100517.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327001249849286238.post-5805008824023605028</id><published>2009-08-04T09:45:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-18T11:08:42.552+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='waste'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='C40'/><title type='text'>Copenhagen's waste plan 2008</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;This article shows that not only innovative constructions, water efficiency and alternative energy sources are relevant. It stresses the importance to completely restructure the system as a whole. Adapting a waste management system as described below takes sustainability in a city to a higher level. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 153); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copenhagen's waste plan 2008: Copenhagen puts only 3% of waste into landfill&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Summary&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Copenhagen has taken an innovative and adaptive approach to waste management. Its motto is — less waste, more separation. The system works because it it's flexible — taking into consideration the differing needs and habits of every citizen and business around the clock. For example, people can return paint waste to the paint shop or medicine waste to the pharmacy. Waste drop off points are local and have flexible hours of operation. The system has reduced CO2 emissions by 40,000 tons CO2 and generated 1,000,000 MWh of additional energy — enough to power 70,000 homes annually — by turning waste to energy.&lt;br /&gt;What is it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Copenhagen's "Waste Plan 2008" is a detailed plan to reduce waste and improve management over the period of 2005-08. The Plan is revised every four years and covers a twelve-year period to ensure it delivers long-term solutions. It is very flexible and is constantly adapting to input from businesses and the community. The City has five objectives for waste management:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; 1. There must be less waste and less hazardous substances in the waste.&lt;br /&gt; 2. Waste resources must be better utilized, reducing the amount of waste to be incinerated and put in landfill&lt;br /&gt; 3. As much of the environment must be protected as possible for the money&lt;br /&gt; 4. The waste system must be adapted to the city&lt;br /&gt; 5. The waste system must be logical and well known&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;How does it work?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Copenhagen waste system works in three ways:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Waste prevention&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Promoting prevention through information on either how to avoid waste or how to sort your already generated waste;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Local regulation clearly stipulates the duties as a citizen or a business concerning waste behavior;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Encouraging less packaging, reuse of products through the establishment of recycling schemes (for furniture), composting schemes or other activities that lead to lower quantities of waste;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;By participating and partly funding Agenda 21 projects, where citizens with special interest in waste prevention set up local schemes and activities to focus on waste and pin-point ways people can dispose of their waste in the right way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Separation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;The city has strict agreements with waste contractors — both private and public — that ensures only separated waste is removed. Households and businesses that fail to separate their rubbish will not have it removed;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bags and bins are provided for households, for businesses they are not;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bottles, cans, newsprint, paper and cardboard and almost all construction waste are collected at the source;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A Caretaker scheme has been essential in helping the community and business dispose of waste correctly. Waste caretakers – located in street blocks - help residents and businesses dispose of waste correctly, by providing advice. This has enabled:&lt;br /&gt;            - Shops to take waste back&lt;br /&gt;            - Options for the disposal of hazardous waste; it can be delivered to recycling &lt;br /&gt;               centres, the caretaker, a number of shops, and to the Eco-Collection Vehicle.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;The City seeks continuously to encourage the separation of rubbish – for example, by establishing more civic amenity sites and local recycling centers. Many Copenhageners cannot get to the sites, and therefore the City is working on establishing smaller and car-free district recycling centers in the neighborhoods;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;There are also local environmental centers that inspire citizens to participate in local projects on, for example, waste separation, traffic and organic food.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Public companies operate the plants for incineration and landfill.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;Incineration: energy recovery is achieved through the incineration of domestic waste and some types of bulky waste. In 2004 39 % of all waste from the City was incinerated. Incineration plants generate power and heat for thousands of households, and in so doing put to use the energy contained in the waste. The amount of heat and power generated from waste in Copenhagen in 2004 corresponded to the consumption in 70,000 households: 210.000 MWh power and 720.00 MWh heat.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Special treatment: Copenhagen is increasing awareness of chemicals, informing businesses about alternatives and making it easier to discard them correctly: A team at the EPA work with businesses on correct handling and disposal of chemicals. Fluorescent tubes, low-energy bulbs, and solarium tubes may contain mercury and must be handled carefully. Most hazardous waste goes to landfill.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Waste from building activities: must be separated for recycling. Due to the high levels of building activity that take place in Copenhagen, building waste is by weight the largest waste type. 85% of the building waste goes to recycling. As a minimum, the City wishes to maintain this rate. New initiatives aim to increase the recycling rate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Landfill applies to waste that cannot be further treated and requires a safe place to prevent environmental damages, such as asbestos, impregnated wood and pvc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Costs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copenhagen has 33,000 sites where waste is picked up. This makes up 3,000,000 pick-ups annually. The remaining costs cover waste treatment and administration of the many schemes. The figures below show cost distribution over the different types of waste. Costs cover collection, treatment and administration. Costs for collection of domestic waste are by far the largest making up 50%; however, collection of hazardous waste is the most expensive scheme in cost per ton. This is due to the fact that treatment of hazardous waste is far more expensive than treatment of domestic waste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Generally it is cheaper to recycle waste than to incinerate waste.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;Next steps&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At many construction sites, there is room for improvement of waste separation. The City of Copenhagen is working closely with developers, contractors, and haulers to have more building waste separated. There may be a need for adapting the rules for separation to match the successes in other areas.&lt;br /&gt;Application&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Adaptable&lt;/span&gt;: Making the system adaptable to the individual habits of households and businesses is the key to success&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Providing options&lt;/span&gt;: Finding creative and practical ways for people to dispose of their waste easily and correctly&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Easy separation&lt;/span&gt;: It must be easy to separate waste. User-friendly systems, clear information and involvement of citizens and businesses are key words in the waste strategy. Users must know how to separate waste and why. Waste from households makes up around one quarter of all waste in the City. A large portion can be recycled if it is separated at source.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Source: http://www.c40cities.org/bestpractices/waste/copenhagen_landfill.jsp&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4327001249849286238-5805008824023605028?l=syncity09.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/feeds/5805008824023605028/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/2009/08/copenhagens-waste-plan-2008.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4327001249849286238/posts/default/5805008824023605028'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/4327001249849286238/posts/default/5805008824023605028'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://syncity09.blogspot.com/2009/08/copenhagens-waste-plan-2008.html' title='Copenhagen&apos;s waste plan 2008'/><author><name>Desiree</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09689925826290122194</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327001249849286238.post-8159821835870517577</id><published>2009-08-03T22:05:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-08-16T22:41:31.189+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Bouw een complete, duurzame stad als bewijs dat het kan</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Nederland kan de toon aangeven in duurzaamheid als het een emissie- en    afvalloze stad voor 40.000 inwoners bouwt. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nrc.nl/opinie/article2312731.ece/Bouw_een_complete,_duurzame_stad_als_bewijs_dat_het_kan"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Door Otto Waterlander, Marco Kesteloo en Kees Cools&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Zoals ieder Europees land heeft Nederland ambitieuze klimaatdoelen voor 2020.    Geen gemakkelijke opgave, temeer daar wij sterk achterlopen op het gebied    van duurzaamheid: slechts 3,4 procent van onze energie is duurzaam, niet    veel vergeleken met 7,1 procent in Duitsland en 17,3 procent in Denemarken. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; De geplande extra overheidsinvesteringen om tegelijkertijd de kwaliteit van    het milieu te verbeteren en de gevolgen van de recessie in te dammen, vormen    een goed moment om een doorbraak te forceren. Wij stellen voor om in    Nederland een groene, duurzame stad voor 40.000 inwoners te bouwen, een stad    met zo min mogelijk emissies en afval. Zo’n stad van 40.000 inwoners, laten    we deze Duurstede noemen, heeft een schaalgrootte die redelijk compleet is,    met eigen scholen, eigen theater, eigen vuilnisafvoer enzovoorts. Duurstede    mag geen slaapstad worden met alleen woonhuizen, er moet ook voldoende werk    zijn. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Ons huidige beleid om tot een duurzame samenleving te komen schiet tekort op    twee kritieke punten. Op de eerste plaats raken we niet de kern van een    duurzame samenleving, omdat we het gedrag van bedrijven en consumenten niet    aanpakken. Windmolens maken de elektriciteit wel schoner, maar verminderen    niet de energieconsumptie. Het isoleren van huizen zal het energieverbruik    wel beperken, maar het pakt ons gedrag niet aan. De kern van een duurzame    samenleving is dat we zo gaan leven dat we de aarde niet uitputten.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Ten tweede is het rendement op onze investeringen in duurzaamheid nog veel te    laag. Veel oplossingen, zoals windturbines en zonnepanelen, zijn    geïmporteerde technologieën. Veel beter zou het zijn als we de techniek zelf    ontwikkelen. Zo werd de Nederlandse waterbouw door de Deltawerken gedwongen    om grootschalige oplossingen te bedenken. Inmiddels is Nederland    toonaangevend op het gebied van waterbouw.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Het roer moet daarom om. We moeten twee doelen simultaan realiseren. Ten    eerste een gedragsverandering die gericht is op verbetering van klimaat en    milieu op lange termijn. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Ten tweede zal duurzaamheid ook economisch duurzaam moeten zijn. Dat vergt    investeringen en kennisopbouw in Nederland zodat we ook economisch kunnen    profiteren van uitgaven aan duurzaamheid.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Deze doelen komen naderbij door Duurstede te bouwen. Het uiteindelijke doel is    een 100 procent emissie- en afvalloze stad met een duurzame productketen en    minimaal energieverbruik. Een stad waarin leef-, woon-, werk- en    recreatiepatronen bij elkaar komen en inwoners een vergelijkbare woon- en    leefkwaliteit genieten als in een conventionele stad. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Het ontwerpen en bouwen van Duurstede zal een positieve invloed hebben op het    gedrag, het dagelijks denken en doen in het lokale leefklimaat. Dat moet een    omgeving zijn die de weg wijst naar een nieuwe toekomst, een proeftuin en    demonstratiestad waarin zowel nieuwe innovatieve oplossingen als bewezen    technologieën, producten en kennis geïntegreerd toegepast en opgeschaald    worden. Daarbij dienen ook alle subsidiegelden in deze stad gealloceerd te    worden zodat alle inspanningen in elkaar passen en een optimaal effect    zullen hebben. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Dus niet alleen warmtepompen en -wisselaars, elektrische auto’s met voldoende    aansluitpunten, huizen met passieve warmteopslag, zon- en windefficiënte    planologie. Maar ook technologieën die nu nog in ontwikkeling zijn.    Kruideniers, vervoerders, horecabedrijven, verfproducenten, verlichting- en    elektronicafabrikanten, scholen, bouw- en installatiebedrijven en    energiebedrijven moeten er experimenteren en de nieuwste vindingen    toepassen. Duurstede moet als een magneet werken. Het trekt kennis,    bedrijvigheid en werkgelegenheid naar Nederland, creëert onverwachte    vindingen en biedt kansen die te exporteren.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; Onrealistisch? Nee, het concept van een duurzame stad is niet nieuw, maar    bestaat nog niet binnen een westerse samenleving. In Abu Dhabi wordt Masdar    gebouwd, een emissie- en afvalloze stad. Het ontwikkelen van een dergelijke    stad in Europa vereist andere oplossingen.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; De komende vijf jaar worden in Nederland zo’n 400.000 nieuwe woningen gebouwd.    Duurstede met zijn 40.000 inwoners kan daarvan deel uitmaken. Wij hebben    niet een speciale plek voor Duurstede in gedachten. Denkbaar is ook een    grote stadsuitbreiding zoals bij Almere. Almere wil modulair groeien met    meer dan 150.000 inwoners, en tegelijkertijd 100.000 nieuwe arbeidsplaatsen    creëren, met duurzaamheid hoog in het vaandel.  &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt; In december wordt de nieuwe internationale duurzaamheidagenda bepaald tijdens    de VN-klimaatconferentie in Kopenhagen, ter vervanging van het    Kyoto-protocol. Dit biedt voor Nederland een uitgelezen kans om Duurstede    internationaal te presenteren.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Otto Waterlander, Marco Kesteloo en Kees Cools zijn  partner bij Booz &amp;amp;    Company.
