Due to the economic boom of the 1950s and 1980s, the former fishing village of Shanghai developed into a metropolitan region with approximately 23 million inhabitants, 15 million alone live in the center. The city has evolved into the most important industrial city in China with extreme urbanization and redevelopment. It is an important transportation hub, leading center of the textile industry, essential for the production of vehicles, machines, steel and is also the location of one of the world's largest container ports. This development is gigantic; however, it brings heavy air pollution and high CO2 emissions. For this reason, the sustainable city agenda is being pursued, which on the one hand should contribute to CO2 reduction but also combines social and economic aspects. This Urban Renewal Code should help to provide economic opportunities and make the city more livable.
What could such a low-carbon community for Shanghai look like? This is precisely what we want to find out collaboratively with students from Tongji University. Based on European examples of sustainability strategies, we will analyze suitable areas in Shanghai, acquire knowledge of sustainable building coupled with energetic and climatic efficiency, and compare social-structural patterns. The knowledge gained will then be applied to the areas in a design and form the basis for visions of low carbon communities in Shanghai.
