AUDRC - Smart Low Carbon Cities
AUDRC (Australian Urban Design Research Centre)Level 2 1002 Hay StPerth,This course builds on the Sustainability and Cities course to convey an understanding of the sources of GHG emissions in cities and identify strategies for how they can be reduced with the aim of carbon neutrality. The course looks at options for decarbonising precincts and cities through greener energy, water, waste and transport infrastructure. It also looks at ways to reduce carbon emissions in buildings and the built form. The potential of smart cities and the internet of things as well as the circular economy and industrial ecology in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving sustainability are also studied. The course looks at the broad benefits of low-carbon development and what is preventing greater adoption of this form of development and how these could be overcome. The course approaches the topics throughout from an urban design perspective and finishes by looking at the planning implications, guidelines and best practice planning approaches for decarbonising cities and precincts. This includes case studies of best practice low carbon precincts and urban areas and the approaches used to create them.
An all day Masterclass (maximum 30), with optional two workshops the following Fridays.
Masterclass Friday 13 August (all day)

Key economic concepts marine scientists should know
Indian Ocean Marine Research Centre (UWA)Building 453, Ground Floor Auditorium64 FairwayCrawley,We are seeing a global shift towards the ‘Blue Economy’, with recognition that we will increasingly rely on our ocean and coastal environments for critical services including food security, renewable energy, transport, recreation, medicinal products, and the list goes on.
Sustainable and resilient marine environments will underpin this shift.
With this in mind, stakeholders including scientists, decision makers, industry and communities are acknowledging the need to develop frameworks that identify, measure and trade-off the services provided by marine environments, and to do this in a way that is commensurate across environmental, social and economic dimensions.
For example, increasingly, we are seeing marine scientists take an interest in, and applying, economic approaches to measure the value of ecosystem services. With this increasing attention on economic methods, it is key to ensure that such methods are being applied in line with economic theory.
This seminar will provide a brief overview of some of the key considerations that marine scientists should be aware of when interpreting, using and applying economic approaches, with a particular focus on total economic value frameworks.
