Royal Seaports’ physical resource flows
This research project aims to provide a physical resource accounting model for urban systems in order to improve physical resource management in Stockholm Royal Seaport.
Project name and -number: Norra Djurgårdsstadens fysiska resursflöden (NV-01.672-17)
Project leader: Cecilia Sundberg, Rajib Sinha, Asterios Papageorgiou, SEED
Participating universities/companies/other organisations: KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholms stad, Ecoloop
Project period: 2017-2019
Financing: Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket)
Sustainable urbanization requires streamlining of resource management in urban systems which in turn requires understanding of Urban Metabolism. This research project aims to develop a demonstrator of a physical resource accounting model that will provide increased insight into urban physical resource flows which will support the improvement of resource management in urban areas. The focus is primarily on developing a model for monitoring various resource flows in Stockholm Royal Seaport.
The model will serve as a comprehensive planning and information tool that will underpin the development of the district towards increased resource efficiency and enhanced sustainability performance. Moreover, the knowledge base that will be developed by the project will be applicable to other urban areas, thereby supporting a transition towards more resource-efficient urban systems.
