As the urbanization rate in China reaches around 60% and quality becomes priority for people living in urban areas, the theme of this year is renewal and inheritance---new paradigm of urbanization. Some speakers include:
Mr. Thomas Kraubitz mainly talked about urban renewal policy in...Policy for urban renewal in China has undergone significant changes since the 2000s, with the priority shifting from the speed of urbanization to the quality of urban life, the urbanization rate having risen from 10.64% in 1949 to nearly 60% in 2019. This year the Urban Renewal Annual Conference...
The German Sustainable Building Council is organising a 4-day workshop in Qingdao from 24-27 July 2019. The training focuses on Sustainable Urban Development and puts particular emphasis on the ISO Standard 37101 which establishes requirements for a management system for sustainable development...
This month’s AHK Econet Monitor on Green Markets & Climate Challenge highlights various Sino-German cooperation projects that have been successfully implemented in the fields of Smart Sponge Cities, energy-efficiency tech solutions in the building sector and waste and recycling management in China.
Jiangsu Province has clearly set out energy-saving and GHG reduction targets for the 12th Five Year Plan (FYP) period, to be achieved by 2020. This report by the Sino-German Cooperation Programme on Jiangsu Low Carbon Development proposes an innovative accounting system for building energy consumption and carbon emissions, to support evaluation of Jiangsu’s progress towards the 12th FYP.
The “econet monitor” Green Building Special is an annual publication highlighting the newest developments and trends in green building in China. SGUP, in collaboration with Beijing Uni-Construction Company, has made a strong contribution to plus energy building for advancing sustainable urban development.

Introducing the Sino-german Urbanisation Partnership's Keystone Paper: Plus Energy Buildings and Districts
The Econet’s Green Building Monitor Special vividly describes how green buildings can effectively alleviate the ngeative implication of rapid urbanisation occurring in China, and simeontaesously meet the increasing demands for higher quality and improving living conditions by China’s growing middle class. China hosts the world’s largest green building market which unleashes immense potential for green and sustainable urbanisation.
Jiangsu remains a key province in China for promoting industrialisation and urban development, and currently faces a serious energy-saving and emissions reduction challenges. This report, produced by the Sino-German Cooperation Program on Jiangsu Low Carbon Development, summarises the policies, regulations, pilot demonstrations and general climate change mitigation efforts undertaken by Jiangsu during the 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012) period.
Climate change has become a global problem, and curtailing GHG emissions is an important process for promoting mitigation and adaptation. This report examines Changshu and Rugao counties of Jiangsu Province in terms of their carbon emissions and develops GHG reduction potential calculations based on scenario analysis. It was published by the Sino-German Cooperation Program on Jiangsu Low Carbon Development on the Carbon Reduction Potential of GHG emissions at the County Level.
This textbook provides a holistic summary of Germany's energy efficiency efforts in the building sector and further examples in the European context, and is of relevance to initiatives aiming to promote green building development in China. It was published by the Sino-German Cooperation Project on 'Qualification of Key Actors in the Building Energy Efficiency Sector (KABEE)'.A textbook published by the Sino-German Cooperation Project on 'Qualification of Key Actors in the Building Energy Efficiency Sector (KABEE)' which provides a holistic summary of Germany's energy efficiency efforts in the building sector and further examples in the Europen context, being of relevance for the continued push for green building development in China.
This training textbook aims to contribute to more efficient exploitation of energy saving potentials, as well as the implementation of climate change mitigation measures in Chinese cities through renewable energy development. It was published by the Sino-German Cooperation Project 'Qualification of Key Actors in the Building Energy Efficiency Sector (KABEE)'.
This training textbook provides information on German experiences in responding to the ecological demands of industrial development through implementing energy efficiency measures into eco-industrial park development. It was published by the Sino-German Cooperation Project 'Qualification of Key Actors in the Building Energy Efficiency Sector (KABEE)'.
Buildings, which account for roughly a third of global carbon dioxide emissions, constitute a key area where measures can be implemented to promote climate change resilience. This guide aims to showcase optimal energy-saving strategies for buildings and best-practice examples from China and Germany to homeowners, architects and engineers. It was provided by the Sino-German Cooperation Project on Low Carbon Compound Projects in City Networks in Jiangsu Province.
Liberty Garment Factory is the industry leader in clothing production and commerce in China, and in recent years has implemented a range of energy-saving measures to support sustainable development. This summary provides a detailed energy evaluation of the factory, which is the first Chinese enterprise to have undergone and completed several environment-related audits, including the Energy Management system audit (GB/T23331) and the Greenhouse Gases Verification (ISO14064).

Transit Alliances enable the participation of multiple stakeholders and operators, thus making mobility more attractive and integrative for users. This publication gives an insight into the detailed benefits of such alliances, and also provides know-how on implementation of successful Transit Alliances.
This publication highlights 55 best practice project cases from 34 German cities that exemplify innovative approaches to and qualitative standards for urban planning and development. It was produced by Darmstadt University of Technology in cooperation with the German Association of Cities and the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Environmental Research. This version has been translated into Chinese.
Introducing the Sino-German Urbanisation Partnership's Keystone Paper on Urban Renewal in Districts
Introducing the Sino-German Urbanisation Partnership's Keystone Paper "Transformative City"
Life in the city is popular and creating liveable urban space is undoubtedly a priority for planners. Yet what makes a city worth living in? How do we define sustainable neighbourhoods that will function properly and continue to attract people in the future? What does "Smart City" or "resilience" really mean?
The completely revised, new edition of this publication provides the answers. It addresses the fundamental challenges of urban planning today and offers planners essential knowledge, implementation strategies and ways toward holistic concept development. Examples of international neighbourhood developments clearly show how aspects of sustainable urban planning can be implemented in practice.
- Holistic concepts for urban areas
- International project examples for successful neighbourhood developments
- Strategies and tools for successful implementation in practice
First published in German in 2013, this book presents the first comprehensive overview of the complex challenges and action areas in sustainable urban planning. The book demonstrates how to integrate overarching sustainable urban design principles into the planning process and sets out a full range of planning strategies and tools for designing living neighbourhoods with a human focus.
The central point at the heart of this book is integrated planning. This is the process and pratice of analysing, balancing and uniting the most wide-ranging social, cultural, and environmental objectives in order to forge holistic concepts. A selection of international case studies illustrates ways to implement aspects of sustainable planning within a variety of different specific frameworks.
