It highlighted city strengths and values that need to be protected and also identified perspectives that have to be further developed, giving basis to streamline investment effort.
Short Report is available here.
‘The Journey' project established development roadmap that would bring Springfield to the exemplary level of Better City, with special focus on locally produced green energy, including hydrogen. It addresses technology and innovation challenges in integrated way, optimizing performance perspectives of energy, mobility, urban space, buildings. Development goals are well defined and accompanied by list of actions & investments. Three scenarios are considered: Busines as Usual (for comparison), Zero Net Electricity and Zero Net Carbon. ‘Integration’ is a key success factor in defining the investment priorities and a way for cost optimization. Predefined urban framework for one of the precincts is proposed as a showcase of the roadmap application.
