Sustainable Neighbourhoods III

Build4People Exhibition 2020: Green Buildings and Sustainable Neighbourhoods

 

Post-Fossil Mobility

 

In order to provide mobility for all, to increase safely and to reduce carbon, other gaseous and noise emissions at the same time, a sustainable transport system is of major importance.

 

The objectives are:

 

- Minimise distances (in time and space) between activities to reduce travel demand.

- Give priority to public transport as the most important element of a sustainable personal transport.

- Give priority to pedestrian and cycle paths as the main network for internal neighbourhood traffic.

- Provide mobility management measures to support modal shift to environmentally compatible modes.

- Reduce the volume and speed of individual motorised travel and support the reduction of motorised traffic through parking management.

- Use of alternatively fuelled vehicles.

- Facilitate a neighbourhood logistics and delivery concept.

- Plan for efficient construction logistics.

 

Circular Economy Neighbourhoods

 

-The goal is to consider the entire life-cyle of materials: From cradle-to-cradle. The first step is to avoid waste, and then to re-cycle and re-use materials or entire building components. The objectives are:

- Minimise the volume of waste and of waste going to disposal.

- Minimise building material con-sumption, maximise recyclability.

- Maximise the use of environ-mentally friendly building materials.

- Consider circular material flows for supply and disposal systems.

 

Application to Cambodia

 

The knowledge transfer of German and European approaches shall lead to innovative ways of neighbourhood development in Cambodia. It is intended that the results of the Build4People project contribute to:

 

- Sustainable planning concepts adapted to the Cambodian cultural heritage and climate conditions.

 

- Developing new multi-disciplinary and collaborative planning strategies for implementing sustainable neighbourhood development.

 

- Application of audits for the certification of sustainable neighbourhoods and making sustainability measurable.

 

- Raising considerably value to design and fostering the sustainability performance.

 

The strategies and design guidelines will be applied to a pilot eco-town development in Phnom Penh and should to be applicable to other cities in Cambodia.
