The document discusses strategies for achieving a low carbon Scotland through sustainable placemaking and spatial planning. It outlines legislation related to climate change and reducing carbon emissions by 2050. The challenge is to meet climate targets through sustainable economic growth, improved health, less inequality, environmental protection, education, and renewable energy. Effective placemaking requires considering issues of land, water, food, energy, waste at various geographic scales from the whole region to individual buildings. The goal is to maximize livability while minimizing waste and balancing social, economic and environmental priorities.

Editor's Notes

  1. Presentation to Heads of Planning in Scotland at TAYPlan, June 18, 2010
  2. There are many contexts driving the need for a more sustainable approach to the way we manage resources in Scotland. The central purpose of Government is ‘sustainable economic growth’, a purpose which seeks to enable better outcomes. Sustainable economic growth will mean different things in different parts of the country. It particularises when it is ‘place based’. Better places therefore should be at the heart of driving the delivery of sustainability and economic growth. The Climate Change Act 2009 sets out very ambitious targets for Scotland. Across a 40 year timescale, the consequences of meeting the ambitions of the legislation will be significant in terms of the cultre of how we live and do things. It will mean significant changes to the way we use energy, produce power, travel, heat buildings and manage landscapes. Meeting these challenges means starting now.

  5. It is essential to understand the issue of sustainability holistically, especially in terms of the issue of settlement sustainability. Newman and Kenworty describe a model of urban sustainabiliy which considers [a] the management of resource inputs [b] the priorities t we ascribe the decisions we take about the resources we use [c] the issue of liveable places and how we make decisions to maximise this principle whilst at the same time [d] reducing waste. This model suggests that t achieve real urban sustainability you can not just focus on reducing waste. You have to understand people. People make choices. They choose places for many reasons. Places that work, places that people enable greater choice, places that people want to be in balance quality of life and environmental management. This enables a culture of sustained sustainable practice over time.
  6. An understanding of the weighting of the statutory duty to meet Climate change obligations and the value of adopting new approaches to dealing with the everyday challenges of our time is important to enabling a culture of urban sustainability. Where there is value, there is likely to be greater motivation to participate in the process of sustainable placemaking. Value matters. Quali.ty matters
  7. Places which have adopted a holistic approach to sustainable placemaking have been researched by the European Union Knowledge Network [EUKN]. For example, projects like the regeneration of Malmo based their success on two key factors, ‘thinking differently and doing differently’. The examples of these cities and places has bee captured as a learning resource by the EUKN in terms of a guidance note on sustainable urban management. This addresses issues from resource management, planning, visioning, policy, implementation and leadership. Sustainable urban management is about places. In this context, it is a set of ideas that are relevant to all aspects of the place production processes, of [a] growth or the creation of new places [b] the transformation of existing brownfield contexts through regeneration and [c] the retrofitting of existing places with more sustainable infrastructure, building technologies and management systems. Sustainable placemaking therefore is not something that is only about new places; it is a concept for the management of all places in all contexts.
