Objective
The targeted demonstration project aims at providing the public authorities, the institutions and the professionals of large industrial European Cities with some "Exemplary Urban Projects", concerning innovative energy-environmental integration on the city scale.
The European cities involved in the RE-Start Project are the following :
A.M. Barcelona (ES), Glasgow (UK), Grand Lyon (FR), Torino (IT), Rotterdam (NL), Copenhagen (DK), Porto (PT), Dublin (IE), and St. Petersburg, as observer city. The exemplary projects take into account the following criteria, which have provided a homogeneous background to all City-Projects :
- Each RESET City has defined a district where the Targeted demonstration would take place. These sites are generally located in a downtown area (areas to be re-converted to different functions, former industrial sites, etc.) where a regeneration project is starting, with new comprehensive rules.
- The area of influence of each City-Project is large enough to allow a strong impact on the decisional mechanisms of the city and a high visibility for the inhabitants.
- A mix of functions - housing, tertiary and commercial, institutional, recreational buildings, high-tech industrial settlements - are comprised in Re-Start, representing the complexity of urban situations.
The RE-Start Project was started in August 1996.
The results are, at the moment, represented by draft or final design of the urban districts and buildings involved in the demonstration, by the organisation of the horizontal and cross demonstration activities, by preliminary assessments at the design stage.
In the RESET net WEB site "http//:www.resetters.org" periodic information on the RE-start project advancement is available for the interested professionals, manufacturers and builders.
All City-Projects have defined an integrated energy and environmental strategy with a set of technologies which responds to the requirements of the Integrated Quality Targeted Project.
The main energy features of the overall RE start Project can be summarized in the following categories :
- LOW-ENERGY DESIGN - The building programme will design the energy system of the RESET Districts, like an "eco-district" allowing a strong reduction in the use of non-renewable fossil fuels and a consistent reduction of 'greenhouses gases'.
- LOW-ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT - The project wants to exemplify new technology applications and planning strategies in order to minimise the environmental impact caused by building settlement.
- LOW-MAINTENANCE NEEDS - The RE start Project will assume building decay as a design parameter to be employed in the conception of components and building systems that will be used for the development.
- INFORMATION FOR THE INHABITANTS - All city-Projects aim at providing the inhabitants with continuous information on the environmental gains of their district, the energy use and related emissions, the stewardship opportunities, through "user oriented" information networks.
The projects selected by the RESET Cities for the targeted demonstration follow the principle of providing a larger area of influence to each demonstration site : the demonstration expands its effect to an urban district where some basic rules of the demonstration can be appropriately implemented.
The different categorisation of the City-projects responds to the opportunity envisaged by the RESET Cities in dealing with a complex framework of urban problems that the cities have to comply with and to solve. The cooperation of the RESET Cities within this project would maximise the global results, in terms of available knowledge resulting from a comprehensive demonstration.
