ECO2 – ECO­EFFICIENT TAMPERE 2020• Means:

– Wide­ranging cooperation between various actors• The City’s strategic project for 2010–2020• The City, businesses, universities, research institutes, financers

• Forums: energy, building, traffic

– New city planning tools• city energy plan, calculation of the carbon footprint, plot assignment

terms and conditions, expanding role of building inspection, holisticdesign, development projects

– Development projects• Support for reports and project planning, partnership schemes for

implementation

– Energy­efficient pilot projects• Eco­efficient Vuores, Nurmi­Sorila – “Sun City”, complementary building

in Tammela, energy­efficient renovation, Sustainable Building Centre

Eco­efficient built environment• Tools for ecoefficient urban planning• Economic incentives for low energy buildings (piloted in Vuores)• Energy system analysis as a part of the urban planning process (e.g.

Koukkuranta, Isokuusi)• All new buildings constructed by the city are at least energy class A• A new information center for sustainable building and construction and energy

use in housing• Promoting eco­efficient complementary construction (Tammela)• Eco­efficient urban development projects in: e.g. Härmälänranta, Vuores

housing fair area, Koukkuranta, Nurmi­Sorila “Sun City”

à Steering the whole urban planning process towards eco­efficiency

Sustainable mobility

Tram planning schedule

• A preliminary master plan ready in 3/2011, two different route options• Master plan and environmental impact assessment (EIA) in Spring 2011• Decision about the tram will be made in 2011/2012• Implementation plan for the selected route 2012­2014• Construction 2015 ­>

The project implements the climate and energyobjectives of the City of Tampere. The programmesupports projects that promote a low­carbon andcarbon­neutral urban structure in the fields ofsustainable construction, energy and mobility.

Eco­ efficient Vuores

Vuores Masterplan 2000­03 (ratified 2006)

Vuores: Main goals

• 13,000 inhabitants, 3000­5000 jobs• The goal is to build a structurally and functionally harmonious urban

district on the territory of two municipalities > small town image,“urban village”

• The natural environment and ecology are an essential part of the areaidentity. The environmentally valuable areas are protected.

• Diversity in the housing stock and social structure.• Traffic system emphasises public transport, walking and cycling

International cooperation of ECO2

• City networks Eurocities ja Civitas• Covenant of Mayors• Cascade: Cities exchanging on local

energy leadership• International competitions:

– The first price in Solutions 2011 ­competition– A finalist in Nordic energy city 2011 –

competition– A finalist in European Public Sector Awards

2011

Cooperation at the national level Mayors’climate network

– The mayors of the the six largest cities of Finlandestablished the Mayors’climate network in Spring 2011.

– The mayor of Tampere Timo P. Nieminen is the chair andthe ECO2 team acts as secretary.

– In August 2011 six tangible climate initiatives wereannounced:

• development of a roadmap on energy­smart constructionfor each city

• development of construction instructions and supervisionin the direction of energy information and qualitymanagement

• development of climate information and support forcitizens’climate acts through a joint project by the cities

• assignment of eco­support staff for workplaces• lowering the need for travel by introduction of

teleconferencing• climate impact assessment in budgeting

Some other projects increasing eco­efficiency in Tampere

• Ilmankos(see slides of Ilmankos)• Vuores• BaltCICA, CHAMP• Regional adaptation

” The Small Town in the Midst ofNature”

Goals of the Project

• Improve the residents’ community spirit andparticipation

• Encourage people to make climate friendly

choices and reduce their

carbon footprint

• Integrate immigrants into local communities

City of Tampere is located between two lakes,Lake Näsijärvi and Lake Pyhäjärvi. The level ofLake Näsijärvi is 17 m higher than Lake Pyhäjärvi.The study area is Pyynikin­Epilänharju, an highesker between the Lakes.
