下图给出了我们的方法的概述,以及如何因素之间的相互关系。

改造城市区域的弹性

  • 答:  我们有一系列的电流分析工具和方法也能够在区域一级进行灰色,绿色和蓝色系统的系统为基础的分析。我们也正在开发一个新的开源城乡的工具,以提供该地区的资源流动的经济,生态和社会问题及其对国家和全球资源之间的连接系统相互作用的定量分析。这将有助于更好地了解“此时此地”的有关能源,水,食品和重要的经济资源,一个地区的情况,以及未来情景的探索。
  • B:  有地球观测数据结合当地的社会和经济数据的大机会。虽然有一些旨在提供城市与开放源代码数据平台,提高城市管理的举措,我们相信这种方法需要进行在区域一级,以支持投资在低碳增长和弹性的发展。我们的网络和方法支撑这一点,我们正在开发相应的指标和关键绩效指标(KPI)来指导有效的区域采购和投资。这是一个多锻炼数据采集和信息化的发展,它是关于让人们开始与一个共享区域集中在一起工作。
  • C:  有越来越认识到,使用系统的方法是很重要的发展对提高资源稀缺性和区域-全球人口压力的背景下,有效的投资在气候适应,绿色产业发展,技能和创造就业机会。虽然它是相对“容易”理解系统的组件,利用科学,工程,经济,生态和社会方面产生有意义和有益的分析需要一个系统的分析应用于深跨学科技能。我们有这个能力,正在制定教学计划,在公共,私人部门和民间社会介绍城市地区的利益相关者,以自己的区域系统的角度。我们优先开发模块旨在公共政策和提供服务,以及跨部门的业务发展机会。
  • D:  很多时候,一个地区的城市和农村方面分别对待,并受到不同的规划制度。我们的方法是创建一个综合区域规划的框架来指导规划和投资可持续和弹性城乡发展。量化的资源和贸易的区域内流动,以及更广泛的经济,是这一进程的一部分。这样做的目的是为他们提供洞察力,以更好地管理其宏观经济和支持它的重要的生态系统,以赋予城市区域。
  • E:  在每个区域,我们的首要任务是与当地利益相关者开发出高附加值的公共部门和私营部门的举措的综合方案,结合基础设施,技术和服务交付项目组合,旨在创造就业,绿色产业发展和新航线合作可持续金融和投资。我们特别重视优先相结合提高资源效率和资源再利用,与恢复生态和淡水系统,并增加了粮食生产的项目。其目的是在5年计划“快车道”的实施。
  • F:  吸引投资,以推展任何重大项目投资组合的关键。我们的做法是与金融,保险和管理部门合作,提高风险和投资分析,以支持我们提倡的综合方法,并利用这个专注于该地区的需求,优势和潜在的利益。在发达经济体当前的经济形势,制约了资本流动和资本的苦恼,找不到’好’的项目。在发展中经济体,缺乏信用评级和风险分析的城市区域,很难创造投资,提供区域重点。迎接这一 ​​挑战所需的关键技能是我们的网络能力的重要组成部分,我们从双边和多边捐助机构正在与一系列行动者,以完善这一做法。

  • G:  形成适当的机制来启动这个联合的方式是每个地区的关键。每个区域都会有自己的偏好,但我们被吸引到建立在涉及公共,私营,知识和民间社会部门合作的“社会企业”的方法模型,我们能够提供关于如何建立和塑造了这个建议做法。
  • H:  提供卫生和福利效益高对大多数城市区域议程。然而,经常会有怎样的空气,水和卫生及长期的经济,以及如何良好的营养和健康改善土壤质量的影响可以通过提高土地使用和获取生物多样性的支持缺乏了解。我们的综合分析和设计为主导的系统方法,加上区域能力建设提供了机会,为连接物理和政策干预与健康和福祉的成果提供了有力的证据基础。
  • I:  提供一个物理环境作为在推展此区域办法中心的区域创新中心是什么,已经吸引了我们已经说过了每个地区的利益。因此,我们正在开发一系列车型的区域合作实验室旨在作为技术中心的跨部门合作和新的商业模式,以及作为一个重点,通知当地社区和教育文化中心-在该地区,该区域。我们的网络涉及全方位的技能在推进这些举措成功,包括先进的可视化技术。

应用

TEST建立与少数精挑细选地区的全球合作,来演示如何集成的系统方法可以开发和应用,在城市地区小尺度下定义验证的,成功的途径和可持续发展弹性的目的。我们的目标是在城市地区达5亿公民人口。

工作有五个可能的城市地区 – 在中国,印度和非洲国家(在选择与我们的合作伙伴),并可能有两个在欧洲地区 – 在开发新的建模和分析工具,并获取信息,测试的框架,将有利于获得相关世界领先的全球专业技术和企业的合作伙伴关系。

促进这些地区之间的国际联系有潜力提供知识转移,看看他们成为典范的可持续发展,促进区域认同和外来投资在国内和国际。

TEST认为,在刺激转型变革的迫切性。但是,我们也承认嵌入会见系统解决方案的系统性挑战的设计为主导的认识理解的挑战。我们也认识到需要开发建立集体信心的工具和方法,我们可以现在就部署和正在开发的项目。因此,我们采用了分阶段(一)开发部门的具体项目,我们说的和(c)将嵌入在我们的计划的全部范围区域内建设能力和理解,(b)开发的理解和承诺开发一个不折不扣的演示程序网络。我们的目标是到2015年开始(c)和5个地区开展了5年的快速通道项目,到2020年,以证明这种综合方法的好处。

The following diagram gives an overview of our approach and how the elements relate to each other.

Transforming city-region resilience

  • A: We have a range of current analysis tools and methods available able to conduct a systems-based analysis of the grey, green and blue systems at a regional level. We are also developing a new open-source urban-rural tool to provide a quantitative analysis of the system interactions between the economic, ecological and societal aspects of the region’s resource flows and their connection to national and global resources. This will help to better understand the ‘here and now’ of a region’s situation regarding energy, water, food and economically important resources, as well as the exploration of future scenarios.
  • B: There is a big opportunity to combine earth observation data with local social and economic data. Whilst there are a number of initiatives aimed at providing cities with open-source data platforms to improve city management, we believe this approach needs to be undertaken at a regional level to support investment in low-carbon growth and resilient development. Our network and approach underpins this and we are developing appropriate metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) to guide effective regional procurement and investment. This is more than an exercise in data gathering and information development, it’s about getting people to start working together with a shared regional focus.
  • C: There’s a growing recognition that using a systems approach is important to develop effective investment in climate adaptation, green sector development, and skills and job creation against the backdrop of increasing resource scarcity and regional-global demographic pressures. Whilst it is relatively ‘easy’ to understand the system’s components, harnessing the scientific, engineering, economic, ecological and societal aspects to produce meaningful and useful analysis requires deep cross-disciplinary skills applied in a systems analysis. We have this capability and are developing teaching and learning programmes to introduce city-region stakeholders across the public, private and civil society sectors to a systems perspective of their region. We have prioritised developing modules aimed at public policy and service delivery, as well as cross-sector business development opportunities.
  • D: All too often, the urban and rural aspects of a region are treated separately and subject to different planning regimes. Our approach is to create an integrated regional planning framework to guide planning and investment in sustainable and resilient urban-rural development. Quantifying resource and trade flows within the region, and to the wider economy, is part of this process. The aim is to empower city-regions by providing them with the insight to better manage their macro-economy and the critical ecosystems that support it.
  • E: In each region, our priority is to work with local stakeholders to develop an integrated programme of high value public-private sector initiatives, incorporating infrastructure, technology and service-delivery project portfolios, aimed at job creation, green sector development and new routes to sustainable finance and investment. We attach particular priority to projects that combine improved resource efficiency and resource re-use, with the restoration of ecological & fresh water systems, and an increase in food productivity. The aim is to ‘fast-track’ implementation in a 5-year programme.
  • F: Attracting investment is critical to taking forward any major project portfolio. Our approach is to work with finance, insurance and governance sectors to improve risk and investment analyses to underpin the integrated approach we advocate and use this to focus interest on the region’s needs, strengths and potential. In developed economies the current economic situation has constrained capital flows and distressed capital, unable to find ‘good’ projects. In developing economies, the lack of credit rating or risk analysis for city-regions makes it difficult to create investment that delivers regional priorities. The critical skills required to meet this challenge are a key part of our network capabilities and we are working with a range of actors from the bilateral and multilateral donor sector to refine this approach.

  • G: Forming the appropriate mechanism to start this joined-up approach is critical for each region. Each region will have its own preference, but we are attracted to models built on a ‘social enterprise’ approach that involves the public, private, knowledge and civil society sectors in collaboration and we are able to provide advice on how to establish and shape this approach.
  • H: Delivering health and wellbeing benefits are high on the agenda for most city-regions. Yet there is often a poor understanding of how air, water and soil quality impacts on health and long term economics and how good nutrition and improved wellbeing can be supported by improved land use and access to biodiversity. Our integrated analyses and design-led systems approach, coupled to regional capacity building offer the chance to provide a stronger evidence base for linking physical and policy interventions with health and wellbeing outcomes.
  • I: Providing a physical context to act as a regional innovation hub at the centre of taking forward this regional approach is something that has attracted interest in each region we’ve talked to. We are therefore developing a range of models for a regional collaboratory aiming to act as the technical hub for cross-sector collaboration and new business models, as well as being a focus for informing local communities and a teaching and cultural centre – in the region, for the region. Our network involves the full range of skills in taking forward such initiatives successfully including advanced visualisation techniques.

Application

TEST was established with the aim of working with a small number of carefully selected regions globally, to demonstrate how an integrated systems approach can be developed and applied at city-region scale to define validated, successful pathways to sustainable and resilient development. We are aiming at city-regions with populations of up to 5 million citizens.

Working with five likely city-regions – in China, India and an African country (under selection with our partners), and probably two regions in Europe – in developing new modelling and analysis tools, and accessing information, TEST’s framework will facilitate access to relevant world-leading global technical expertise and corporate partnerships.

Promoting international links between these regions has the potential to provide knowledge transfer and see them become exemplars for sustainable development, boosting regional recognition and inward investment nationally and internationally.

TEST sees the need for urgency in stimulating transformative change. But we also acknowledge the challenges of embedding an understanding of a design-led understanding of meeting systemic challenges with systems solutions. We also recognise the need to develop projects that build collective confidence in the tools and methods we are able to deploy now, and those under development. Therefore, we have adopted a phased approach to (a) developing sector specific projects to build capacity and understanding, (b) developing understanding and commitment within the regions we are talking to and (c) moving to embed the full extent of our programme in developing a fully-fledged network of demonstrator programmes. It is our aim to begin (c) by 2015 and initiate a 5-year fast-track programme in 5 regions to demonstrate the benefits of this integrated approach by 2020.
