Norra Djurga?rdsstaden som nollstad
En studie av miljo?projektets sista etapp och dess potential
All around the world more and more people move from rural areas to live in the cities. Because of this, the urban areas have become an important part in the debate about the effects on the environment and sustainability. In many countries word wide initiatives have been taken to build sustainable cities and eco cities, the Stockholm Royal Seaport is one example. The vision for the district is to become a world class sustainable city based on the three dimensions of sustainable development: social, economic and ecologic. The municipality of Stockholm has set requirements for the buildings? energy usage, emissions and amount of waste generated during the building process. These requirements are dynamic and will become stricter for every phase. To fulfill the requirements new innovations and technologies are being developed, among other solutions to change how people live in order tobecome a sustainable city.This paper examines if it is possible for the last phase, Loudden, of Stockholm Royal Seaport to become a city of zero-net energy buildings, zero carbon and zero waste, and what it would take to achieve this. The results show that from a technical perspective, and with the delimitations of this study, it would be possible for Loudden to become completely self-sufficient on solar energy, but not to become a city of zero carbon and zero waste.
