World o cities
Urbanisation is closely tied to
economic and cultural develop-
ment. The majority o the worlds
6.9 billion people already live in
or near cities. This exponential
large-scale urban growth has
created a pressing need or
more holistic planning and
governance o city develop-
ment. These challenges were
the reason why the Swedishgovernment and the Swedish
Trade Council launched a con-
cept or sustainable city devel-
opment at the World Summit
on Sustainable Development
in Johannesburg 2002.
Sustainaility:everywhere, alwaysAs the Brundtland Commis-
sion* put it, sustainability isdevelopment that meets the
needs of the present without
compromising the ability of
future generations to meet their
own needs.
* The Brundtland Commission,
formerly the World Commission
on Environment and Develop-ment (WCED), convened by the
United Nations in 1983.
InTroduCTIon
Welcome to SymbioCitySymiosis in a citySymbiosis means the integra-
tion o organisms in a mutually
benecial union. In Sweden, wehave been ocusing on holistic
city planning or 50 years. For
us, symbiosis means nding
synergies between urban tech-
nology systems that save natu-
ral resources and cost less.
A Swedish trademarkSymbioCity reects all Swedish
knowledge and experience in
approaching sustainability.Several hundred Swedish con-
sultants, contractors and sys-
tem suppliers are organised in
various networks dedicated to
spreading the vision o sustain-
able urbanism and making the
distance to implementation as
short as possible. We all share
the SymbioCity approach.

World challengesWhile ecological ootprintscome in many sizes, we are all
leaving our mark on the planet.
The environment is under obvi-
ous and increasing stress to
which every economy contrib-
utes. The main challenge areas
are well known: water supply,
ood supply, transport systems,waste disposal; and threats to
auna and ora. Not to mention
the problem o climate change
and the carbon dioxide emis-
sions that stem rom almost any
human economic activity. Spe-
cialists in ecosystem research
have shown how dierent envi-
ronmental aspects depend on
each other. The depletion o
natural resources in most o the
world today is a serious threat
to our standard o living.
City lieWorld population will likelyrise to 9 billion by 2050. In 20
years, as many as 60% o the
human population will live in
cities. Cities already represent a
major share o the consumption
o non-renewable resources,
produce large amounts o waste
and pollute our air and water.City leaders are increasingly
aware o the needs o the
uture: ree mobility, clean air
and water, waste recycling,
smart energy consumption,
spatial planning or green areas,
and biological diversity in urban
environments.
Decision timeFaced with these diverse chal-lenges, city governments are
eager to take action. Today, city
mayors all around the globe are
planning or sustainable urban
development and uture human
lie. The challenges are enor-
mous, but the benets even
greater. Policy options rangerom consumer behavior to
large inrastructure invest-
ments. Never beore have urban
technologies in harmony with
citizens oered such promising
opportunities. It is time or new
decisions.

PioneersSweden was an early starter insustainable thinking. As early as
the 1960s, Sweden recognised
that the rapid loss o natural
resources had to be conronted. It
took a leading role in organizing
the rst UN conerence on the
environment held in Stockholm
in 1972. In the 1970s Sweden wasthe most oil-dependent country
in the industrialized world, but
ollowing the oil crisis in 1973,
made tremendous eorts to nd
new sources o energy, create new
ways to insulate buildings and
develop automatic energy saving
systems.
In 19962008 Swedish carbon
dioxide emissions fell by 18%
while GNP increased by 45%.Linking environmental perfor-
mance to economic perfor-
mance is both necessary and
fruitful.
Private and pulicSustainable growth is a sharedresponsibility. Strict environ-
mental legislation and rules
provide guidance or develop-
ing and preserving green cities.
The successul cooperation
between local, regional and
national authorities and private
industry as well as the crucialinvolvement o the public has
helped to turn ideas o sustain-
ability into reality.
In the 1950s and 1960s you
wouldnt even dip a toe in the
polluted waters around Stock-
holm. Swimming and shing
were of course forbidden.
Today, swimmers are every-
where, and shing in central
Stockholm is popular.

Get more or lessThe most important word in
SymbioCity is value. How to get
more or less. By integratingdierent urban technology
solutions, we create synergies
that increase resource efciency,
optimise recovery and reuse
and saves money. Cleaner air,
reduced noise, improved water
quality and a saer l iving envi-
ronment makes people happier
with their housing which inturn increases property value.
Long term gainsSymbioCity is all about the
lie cycle cost the long-term
benets o investments. In asustainable city, maintenance
costs tend to be lower thanks
to orethought and better
planning, resulting in lower
lie cycle investment costs and
better returns.
With a socialdimensionTo ensure a successul and
appreciated investment, the
citizens should be involved
early in the process, through
inormation, education and
communication. In the Symbio-
City view, social and economic
actors are as important as the
ecological and technical the
recognized ultimate goal being
health, comort, saety andmaximum quality o lie or all
citizens.
A multi-disciplinaryapproachSharing inormation is crucial
to a cost-efcient and smoothprocess. Municipalities, public
authorities, universities, insti-
tutes, private companies and
other networks can come
together to share knowledge,
skills, and organizational mus-
cle. Questions o legislation and
its implementation, o decision-
making, transparency, andaccountability are addressed
and answered.
The ConCepT
Value from combinations
No more landlls! In Sweden,
less than 20% of household
waste is deposited as landll.
In Stockholm, 75% of all wasteis collected for recycling or use
as fuel. For household waste,
this gure is 95%! Organic
waste from restaurants and
grocery shops as well as from
households, toilet waste, sludge
from septic tanks or waste
water treatment plants all
of it can be used to producebiogas. The digested biogas
contains methane, which can be
used for heating and electricity
production or, after rening, as
fuel for transportation.

The LaYouT
Making urban systemscommunicate
Inormation andcommunicationInormation and Communica-
tion Technologies (ICT) is an
important part o SymbioCity.
Its all about easily accessing,
analyzing and sharing vital
inormation in and between
all urban systems and parties
including the public. ICTincreases resource efciency in
both the short and long term,
which will ultimately reduce
CO2 emissions across the board.
nSmart logistics can save
transportation uel as well as
storage space, electricity and
heating.
nDigitalized communications
reduces the need or some
transport altogether.
nSmart power grids avoid peak
loads, save electricity, and makeuse o multiple energy sources.
nWith smart monitoring,
buildings and actories can
become highly energy efcient.
nInvolvement creates respon-
sibility. Maintain an open dia-
logue with stakeholders about

attractive housing or several
thousand Stockholmers. By 2018
the area will have approximately
11,000 apartments, 25,000
inhabitants and 10,000 work-places. The Hammarby model

A smart grid applies digital
technology to monitor and
control all electricity, to save
energy, reduce cost and
increase reliability. When
power is least expensive the
user can allow the smart grid
to automatically turn on
selected home appliances,
such as washing machines,
or actory processes that can
run at arbitrary hours. At peak
times it can turn o selected
appliances to reduce demand.
The technology can also eed
small scale energy production
into the main grid, to make
use o it where it s needed at
the time. Today, Stockholm
is planning or a smart grid
system in Stockholm Royal
Seaport an area that will
house 25,000 inhabitants
when completed in 2025.
From December to March, the
temperature is below reezing
in many parts o Sweden.
Thats why district heating
has become our energy hero.District energy systems pro-
duce steam or hot water at a
central plant. The steam or
water is then piped under-
ground to individual buildings
within a designated area. This
provides 50% o the house-
holds with an ideal indoor cli-
mate. District heating is armore efcient than traditional
individual household heating
and thus releases much less
carbon dioxide. Thanks to dis-
trict heating, total Swedish
carbon dioxide emissions have
allen by 25% since the 1970s.
A district heating system can
easily increase energy efciency
by 50% compared to individual
household boilers. When the
plants also provide electricity
so-called combined heat and
power a 90% degree o energy
efciency is possible. Districtheating plants are also much
cleaner: in Ume, 99.5% o sul-
phur and particles are ltered
out. Incineration works well
with most uels, including bio-
mass and waste rom house-
holds, construction industry
and orestry. It has been calcu-
lated that i the European Unionreached the same level o dis-
trict heating as Sweden, the
Europeans could overshoot
their carbon dioxide reduction
targets our times.

There is enormous potential in
waste heat recovery in har-
nessing the heat energy rom
waste that would otherwise be
lost. In Iggesund, in the cold
north, a large paperboard ac-
tory has cut its ossil uel con-
sumption by 75% by using
waste heat. Thanks to a
detailed energy assessment
and large investments in new
technology, the company now
uses a greater part o waste
heat rom the industrial pro-
cesses as a source or the whole
plant and all its buildings.
Sometimes we like it cold. On
hot days, business productivity
is much higher in air-condi-
tioned ofces. Hospitals ben-
et enormously rom eective
climate control. Using essen-
tially the same technology as
district heating, cities can cre-
ate district cooling systems.
District cooling has massive
advantages over individual
solutions. For one thing, it is
oten produced in the orm o
ree cooling via a closed distri-
bution system laid in the
ground to supply customers
with cold water rom adjacent
rivers or lakes. But it can also
be produced rom sewage
water or sludge. Compared to
individual household air-con-
ditioning, district cooling low-
ers carbon dioxide emissions
by 60%. On smaller scales,
innovative companies provide
system solutions or both cool-
ing and warming, using solar
technology combined with
extremely efcient small scale
heat exchangers.

Biological waste and waste-
water can easily be turned into
biogas. In Linkping, one
municipal gas company oer-
ing biogas or vehicles now has
7% o the local uel market.
A ull scale project with a local
biogas train is also in process.
There is little waste in the
process. Ater ermentation
to gas, the bio-manure is used
as an agricultural nutrient,
reducing the use o articial

From triple glazed windows to
hot water economy, all the
buildings in new districts are
optimized using a lie cycle cal-
culus o maintenance costs.
Many new designs use insula-
tion techniques that allow or
so-called passive energy build-
ings, where the only heating
sources are household appli-
ances and the residents own
body heat. But you can also
renovate sustainably. Near
Gothenburg, a suburban area
rom the 1970s has recently
been reurbished. The energy,
electricity and water savings
are all well above 30%.
There is much to be gained by
aiming or both a sae and
attractive environment. TheGothenburg area o Grdsten
used to be a rundown 1970s
suburb. When the city decided
on a total makeover, 40% o
apartments were short o ten-
ants and unemployment and
crime rates were at national
record levels. It was clear that
social solutions and urban plan-
ning had to go hand in hand
and that local people should be
involved in the change process
to inspire condence in thedevelopment. Soon the gures
took a new direction. Shortly
ater the renovations, empty
apartments dropped to zero,
crime rates went down by
40%, and the number o local
businesses rose eightold.
Today, Grdsten is an interna-
tional model o sustainable
social development.
