A - Connected and Sustainable Work: CUD Smart Work Centers
Amsterdam is launching the first of what is to become a network of Smart Work Centers, substituting physical travel,
offsetting carbon emissions while alleviating ‘a day in the life of a worker.’ The first Connected and Sustainable Work
breakout session is dedicated to the Smart Work Center. What does the concept constitute? What are the early lessons
learned? How replicable is it? What does the business model look like? What is the perspective of the various stakeholders
involved?

2. C - Green ICT: On the Greening of IT and Broadband
Information Technology is set to provide the building blocks of a sustainable and distributed urban environment, allowing for
a dramatic change in the way human enterprise is conducted and sustained. Yet Information Technology is also a heavy
consumer of energy, with some research predicting the IT sector at large is soon to overtake the aviation sector as a polluter.
Much can and must be done to green the sector itself. What is currently being undertaken in CUD Cities? How can
datacenters best be Datacenters greened? How will next generation high end broadband infrastructure allow for a greening
of the sector and for urban society at large?

D - Sustainable Energy in Connected Urban Environments: CUD Projects, Challenges and Lessons Learned
The energy consumed by buildings and homes causes 50% of total city greenhouse gas emissions. Recent developments
may allow cities to dramatically improve the energy efficiency of buildings, homes and open spaces. We are at the brink of a
critical convergence of three major technologies: 1) smart electric grids deployed by electric utility companies, 2) local
distributed renewable energy sources, and 3) advanced digital energy management and control systems. The integration of
these technologies promises to have major impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions by buildings and homes.
Combined, these solutions will allow buildings and homes to actively monitor and manage their energy consumption –
automatically turning on & off energy-consuming appliances and adjusting thermostats to preserve occupant comfort and
control while optimizing for energy cost, demand and carbon content. This session will introduce related CUD projects
regarding energy-efficient urban living and debate challenges and achievements, sharing experiences and lessons learned.

3. E - Connected and Sustainable Buildings and distributed Urban Design: Projects, Challenges, Lessons Learned
Cities around the world have made significant commitments to concrete sustainability goals. These objectives can only be
achieved with a comprehensive approach to manage the eco-footprint of Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
and to utilize ICT networks and services to improve the sustainable design and development of cities. ICT is set to become
the connective tissue for mixed-use, distributed, digitally mediated city environments. This session discusses current
sustainable urban design and development projects and lessons learnt that drive the eco-effectiveness of cities.

F - Strategic Role of Carbon Markets : Implications and Responses. Session I : Principles and application of global
carbon markets
This session outlines the principles of global carbon markets and the enabling environments required to attract urban low
carbon investment. It will first outline existing institutions including early lessons from the EU Emissions Trading Scheme. It
will then examine business models and local institutional and data provision structures required for cities to fully benefit from
a carbon market. It will discuss how the emerging global carbon market should build on current institutions and mechanisms
(e.g. linking up existing and developing regional carbon markets). It will consider how cities can position themselves to
capture a share of the billions of dollars of low-carbon investment that carbon markets can fund.
• Pricing carbon - the fundamentals
