Item Desigualdades espaciales de habitabilidad en ciudades patrimoniales. Aplicación de indicadores de seguimiento a las ciudades de san gabriel y sangolqui (Ecuador)(2017) Ferrer, Elena Usobiaga; De Cos Guerra, Olga; De Meer Lecha-Marzo, Ángela; LABORATORIO DE TRANSFORMACIÓN URBANAEste artículo, contextualizado en ciudades de gran valor patrimonial en Ecuador, plantea la necesidad de compatibilizar la necesaria protección del patrimonio y la imprescindible garantía de unas condiciones de habitabilidad adecuadas. Para ello se desarrolla una metodología de estudio de la habitabilidad que permita determinar las mejores variables o indicadores para su comprensión y posterior tratamiento urbanístico. Con ello, se da respuesta al conflicto existente entre conservación e intervención urbanística para la mejora de las condiciones de vida de la población.Item Smart zero carbon city readiness level: sistema de indicadores para el diagnostico de las ciudades en su camino hacia la descarbonizacion y su aplicacion en el Pais Vasco(2018-05) Urrutia-Azcona, Koldo; Fontán-Agorreta, Luis; Díez-Trinidad, Francisco Javier; Rodríguez-Pérez-Curiel, Francisco; Vicente-Gómez, Julia; Tecnalia Research & Innovation; LABORATORIO DE TRANSFORMACIÓN URBANANowadays urban environments concentrate more than half the world’s population, reaching up to 70% on 2050 according to forecasts. This concentration implies that most of future challenges will take place in cities as well as the opportunities coming from their potential solutions. Current technological innovation can provide support in facing one of main challenges society is facing: reducing carbon footprint from our cities. This ambitious transition, steered by the Smart Zero Carbon City (SZCC) concept, needs a flexible characterisation method, which can be adapted to different kinds of cities to evaluate the main features of each city, hence proposing and prioritising most suitable interventions. The aim of this study is focused on the characterisation of cities according to the SZCC concept through a set of indicators: the Smart Zero Carbon City Readiness Level (SZCC Readiness Level), able to analyse key aspects of cities according to SZCC concept (Characteristics of the city; City plans and strategies; Energy; Mobility; Infrastructures and ICT services; Citizen Engagement). This characterisation enlightens the development of SZCC concept in the city, identifying its strengths and weaknesses in order to ease the alternatives’ selection towards decarbonisation, being handy at a time for those small and medium-sized municipalities, so common in the European context, which usually hold less resources than big capitals to implement decision-making support diagnoses. In order to validate this set of indicators, SZCC Readiness Level has been implemented in 5 Basque cities, which represent different urban typologies, analysing its current situation regarding SZCC concept.Item Sustainable Strategic Urban Planning: Methodology for Urban Renovation At District Level: Methodology for Urban Renovation at district level(International Solar Energy Society, 2017) Vallejo, Estefanía; Criado, Cristina; Arrizabalaga, Eneko; Vasallo, Ali; Renne, David; Griffiths, Steven; Romero, Manuel; Guthrie, Ken; Mugnier, Daniel; PLANIFICACIÓN ENERGÉTICASustainable urban renovation is characterized by multiple factors (e.g. technical, socio-economic, environmental and ethical perspectives), different spatial scales and a number of administrative structures that should address the evaluation of alternative scenarios or solutions. This defines a complex decision problem that includes different stakeholders where several aspects need to be considered simultaneously. In spite of the knowledge and experiences during the recent years, there is a need of methods that lead the decision-making processes. In response, a methodology based on the global idea and implications of working towards a more sustainable and energy efficient cities as a holistic procedure for urban renovation at district level is proposed in the European Smart City project CITyFiED. The methodology has the energy efficiency as main pillar and the local authorities as client. It is composed of seven phases that ensures an effective dialogue among all the stakeholders, aiming to understand the objectives and needs of the city to define a set of Strategies for Sustainable Urban Renovation and their integration within the Strategic Urban Planning of the cities.
