• a coherent approach • a common language for
sustainability
Everyone can easily understand the overall goals and ethos
Embedded at all levels to make things easy
• Design• Construction• Sales and marketing• Community Governance• Residents’ association & body
corporate• Property management • Green leases• Long term management
Opportunity for creativity!
Principles are flexible
Real opportunity to develop creative solutions within the framework
Zero Carbon (in buildings)
1. Promote energy efficiency
2. Supply remainder from renewables (by 2020 at the lastest) from generation
•On site• Off site
3. Fossil fuels on for back-up•

Solar Laundromat
Zero Waste
Reduce waste
Then re-use, reclaim and recycle
Aim by 202o to send no more than 2% to landfill
Re-use
BedZED steel frame was almost completely made from reclaimed steel
Steel taken off a demolition site, cut to size, sand-blasted, repainted.
Benefits of Re-use
Major environmental savings even over recycled steel (ie melted down and reformed)
Sustainable Water
Promote water efficiencyConsider harvesting rainwater and
recycling subject to contextConsider water in the landscape – to
support biodiversity or mitigate flood or drought
Water treatment at Jinshan
Creates landscape feature and wildlife habitat
Sustainable Transport
1.Reducing the need to travel
2. Providing sustainable alternatives to private fossil-fuel based vehicles
‘5 minute living’
Housing
Work
Groceries
Restaurants
Services
Sports, gardens, gym
Shops, theater, hotel
Reducing the need to travel
Electric vehicles becoming mainstream
Local and Sustainable Materials
•Local
•Reclaimed
•Recycled
•Low embodied energy
•Low toxicity, ‘healthy’ materials
Construction materials and materials used during long term management
Natural clay block at One Brighton
•Low embodied energy – fired at low temperature
•60% less embodied carbon than concrete block
•Breathable - supports better internal air quality, so healthier than people
Local recycled paper
•85% ecological fooptrint compared to using virgin paper
•Set up office paper recycling scheme
Local and Sustainable Food
•Encourage local and low input food production
•Provide food growing opportunities on site to create local food culture
Roof top allotments at One Brighton Canada
Urban agriculture, Cuba
•Opportunities to bring food growing into our towns and cities
Edible landscape designed for Riverside One
Communal food growing area
• Westwyck village, Melbourne, Australia
Create space for farmers’ markets
•Great way to increase quality of life and development value
•Green caretaker can also receive deliveries from local farmers
Green Canteen at One Brighton
•Local, organic, seasonal and vegetarian options
•Workers taken on trip to catch local fish
Land Use and Wildlife
1. Protect existing flora and fauna2. Create new habitats and enhance
biodiversity3. Support projects to increase
biocapacity off-site
Green wall, hotel in Paris
Food and wildlife roof, Haringey, London
Increasing biocapacity off site
• Support a tree growing project off-site
• Purchase wood fuel from forestry which increases biological productivity such as traditional coppicing in the UK
•Support farming which increases rather than depletes soils

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
Create sense of place
Build on local culture & heritage, for example:
-Vernacular architecture which might assist in passive design – eg narrow self shading streets at Masdar City
-Local building materials
- Arts and Cultural Facilities Events – Chinese Opera at Jinshan
Create New Culture of Sustainability •Welcome Packs for new residents to explain One Planet Living•Write principles into property management•Create a One Planet Centre
Governance and Estates management
Design for connectedness
•Car free areas and ‘home zones’ create space for children to play and neighbours to meet•Average person at BedZED knows 20 neighbours by name
1. Use investment for local economic development especially of disadvantaged groups
2. Attract mixed income groups
3. Promote social equity within the development
4. Promote fair trade products
Equity and Local Economy
Support green ‘bioregional’ economy
• What makes people healthy and happy?
• New science of happiness.

One Planet Communities are
places where it is easy, attractive and affordable
