What does Urban sustainability stand for?<br />
Main means & practices:<br />
<strong>UAE</strong><br />
World cities average
<strong>UAE</strong> - <strong>Ruwais</strong><br />
Urban & Spatial link<br />
Soft power enclave projects<br />
High profile Clean Energy and Culture projects<br />
• Social recognition in international society<br />
• A guest to acquire post-oil statehood<br />
• International identity and status independent of the role as<br />
hydrocarbon producers

Maintaining & Enhancing the Existing Core Assets<br />
Tapping onto leadership<br />
psychology and agency<br />
• Hyper - modern cultural & educational ambitions<br />
• Possibilities through wealth<br />
• Safety in Cities<br />
• Vivid Family & Community life

Eliminating Gaps in Strategy<br />
“Soft power enclave projects mentality”<br />
Transforming Gaps into major components of Strategic Plans<br />
• Initiate & maintain Spillovers to onshore society<br />
• Opt for “experiments” that are able to spread locally<br />
• Reduce tensions between the enclaves’ mission and onshore norms<br />
• Balance between commercial - cultural - educational<br />
• Replicability = Aim at exporting<br />
the Attempt to Adopt
Proposals<br />
“Rapid urbanisation is considered to be one of the<br />
biggest human settlement challenges in human history,<br />
accompanied by profound social, economic, and<br />
environmental transformations (Bai et al 2014)”<br />

Urban ideas must be invented and re-invented on the ground,<br />
becoming both useful and responsive to the needs of city-builders & users<br />
• Develop and advance thought on urban typologies and complex systems more<br />
holistically as well as balance regional and global scales with knowledge from local<br />
experience and place-based solutions<br />
• To create sustainability on the ground, we must connect local issues, tradition and<br />
behaviour to global patterns.<br />
• To develop the idea of “Sustainable cities” we need prioritise the areas of greatest need.<br />
Policy/ practice need a human scale & connection to the lived experience
KPIs - <strong>Ruwais</strong> Urban Growth<br />
• Downstream / upstream expansion<br />
• Global Links & Innovation Index<br />
• Targeted population - Demographic analysis<br />
• Detailed Behavioural Patterns<br />
• Sustainability indicators<br />
• Enhancement of public spaces<br />
• Architecture and energy consumption<br />
• Linking Space - Policy - Growth trough economic &<br />
developmental models that develop simultaneously

Performance<br />
Tools<br />
Example of two of<br />
technology levers: The<br />
chart is used to compare the<br />
cost efficiency of a<br />
technology saving CO2<br />
compared to wall insulation.<br />
Wall insulation is used as a<br />
benchmark in this illustration<br />
and set at the 0% mark in<br />
the middle of the diagram.<br />
Technologies in light blue –<br />
to the right of the zero<br />
benchmark line – save more<br />
kilograms of CO2 per euro<br />
than wall insulation. In this<br />
situation there are 10<br />
technologies that save CO2<br />
more cheaply than wall<br />
insulation.

Pattern that can be replicated
Urban Ideas linked to Organisational Agility & Growth<br />
Structure<br />
Process<br />
People<br />
Stable Backbone:<br />
Simple structure<br />
consistent over time.<br />
Clear expectations and<br />
accountabilities.<br />
Daily work built around<br />
instant access to full<br />
company knowledge base<br />
and experts.<br />
Simplified and<br />
standardised reporting.<br />
Shared culture and values.<br />
Strong foundation of trustbased<br />
decision making<br />
Dynamic capabilities:<br />
Ability of manager to form<br />
and dissolve teams regularly.<br />
Leadership as role: people<br />
contribute actively.<br />
Up to the minute<br />
performance data.<br />
Rapid prototyping of new<br />
design: strong test and<br />
learn mindset.<br />
Entrepreneurial “can do”<br />
mind set along with<br />
leadership & technical<br />
expertise.
The urban future<br />
• Meets local needs<br />
• Maintains global alliances<br />
• Links urban to industrial<br />
development creating exemplar<br />
& export-capable patterns
