9. Zero Waste Reduce waste Then re-use, reclaim and recycle Aim by 202o to send no more than 2% to landfill
10. Re-use BedZED steel frame was almost completely made from reclaimed steel Steel taken off a demolition site, cut to size, sand-blasted, repainted.
11. Benefits of Re-use Major environmental savings even over recycled steel (ie melted down and reformed)
12. Sustainable Water Promote water efficiency Consider harvesting rainwater and recycling subject to context Consider water in the landscape – to support biodiversity or mitigate flood or drought
13. Water treatment at Jinshan Creates landscape feature and wildlife habitat
14.
15. Reducing the need to travel ‘ 5 minute living’ Housing Work Groceries Restaurants Services Sports, gardens, gym Shops, theater, hotel
33. Culture and Community 1. Create sense of place - local culture & heritage 2. Create a new culture of sustainability through estates management and engagement 3. Design for community connectedness
From ‘hard’ principles like zero carbon and zero waste to ‘soft’ ones like ‘culture and heritage’ and ‘health and happiness’ Cover ‘3 pillars of sustainability’ – environmental, social and economic - However, as we shall see, can take a scientific approach even to happiness
Everyone involved in the creation and long term management of a One Planet Community can easily understand the overall goals and ethos
We are flexible about how energy demand is met and work towards a solution which is best for the particular context don’t ask for 100% on-site we do encourage on-site renewable generation particularly for hot water (eg solar thermal or biomass) Fossil fuels OK for back up
Solar Laundromat. The building was built in 1939, and the Laundromat was installed in 1964 Retrofitted with solar hot water panels
- re-using and reclaiming often better than re-cycling which is a term used when material is broken down to create new products (eg crushing green glass for sand or melting steel to recycle it)
– promote water efficient behaviour eg through water efficient appliance and encouraging water conscious behaviour
- Blackwater used to create a landscape feature
- SMV designed so everything you need is within a short walk
One of the most popular features of One Brighton Great to help create a social space and local food culture (even though cant grow huge amounts)

- Coppicing increases biocapacity as a periodically cutting back trees can increase their rate of growth compared to a mature tree
20 km south of Lisbon Land degraded by sand quarrying and exotic pine plantations (suffering from nematode infestation)
480 of land replanted with traditional cork oak and umbrella pine Prototype house constructed
- One of the cubes at Riverside One will be themed on the Transporter Bridge, a local landmark

- Every new development is an opportunity to support a local green economy – One Brighton for example
Opportunity to think about promoting quality of life, health and well-being rather than consumerism
OPC is about creating better places to live evidence from BedZED - over 2/3rds of people report that they have a higher quality of life compared to where they lived previously Not about doing without or a ‘hairshirt’ existence – it is about how we will live in the 21 st century making the most of green technologies and the latest thinking in community development and placemaking
