Objective
The proposer wishes to contribute to the development of a more sustainable way of planning and developing human settlements. As the scale of the proposed neighbourhood (275 houses) is a typical unit of urban incremental growth, Schoonebeek seeks to demonstrate that the development of such a unit can be a lesser burden on the environment. Fife Council supports the demonstration because it is interested in the aspect of water and Georgsmarienhütte in energy.
The project is a demonstration of what, even at a relatively smaal scale, local government can do towards the developpment of a sustainable urban technology by utilising existing resources (e.g. powers under planning acts, municipal land and normal municipal provisions such as planting, or a neighbourhood centre). The demonstration concentrates: in the area of planning : - on the use of land use planning as a tool in promoting an integrated approach to the provision of urban infrastructure and services. In this approach, the network of services is arranged to coincide with the uninterrupted network of footpaths. As these footpaths can have the form of covered ways, the services can be placed overhead instead of underground. The arrangement enables the urban services to be integrated (e.g. by utilising light and solar energy captured by the roof of the covered way to provide electricity and warm water); in the area of development : - on the development of (1) structural, multi-functional framework (named the 'integration framework') as a carrier of more than a dozen urban services; (2) a second water supply network distributing locally processed household water, thus saving 50% on the consumption of drinking water; (3) two local ecological sewage treatment plants, named 'bio-installations', which, after treatment, recycle domestic sewage and other water-borne waste as part of an integrated water management system.
