Toward a livable future From manufacture through operation to demolition: The ropeway shows its strengths throughout its entire product life cycle. 36
Statement View study The Green City Deals study shows that the complete life cycle of transport systems has to be considered if you want to be able to assess the actual impacts on the environment and therefore the effects on city life. The following benefits of ropeways can make a significant contribution toward a more sustainable urban living environment. Environmentally friendly drive: The ropeway is electrically driven and therefore locally emissions-free. The high efficiency of the different electric drives that can be employed enables resource-efficient and quiet operation of the installation. Space-saving design: In contrast with other modes of transport, ropeways do not occupy large areas on the ground as they glide in the air. That leaves more room for green spaces and nature conservation. Rainwater retention through green roofing: The stations on a ropeway can be fitted with green roofs. As well as lending themselves to aesthetic integration into their surroundings, these solutions help to retain rainwater through natural storage and slow release. Promotion of biodiversity: Green roofs and station design are conceived to provide new habitats for flora and fauna. That helps to promote biodiversity and conserve local ecosystems. Reuse of the ropeway installation: A particularly sustainable aspect of ropeways is the fact that they can be reused at another location. In the case of the BUGA cable car in Mannheim, all parts were reused. That reduces the consumption of resources and the installation’s ecological footprint. »Even before you have built a streetcar, its carbon footprint exceeds that of a ropeway that has run for 30 years and been dismantled again.« Prof. Dr. Jörg Niemann Professor at Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences for the Teaching and Research Field of Engineering Management 37
