Concept:
The Green City Calculator© quantifies the “greeness” of the city and makes it comparable. It is a program that computes data from the city and turns it into an accessible, comparable and measurable statement on its sustainability. It can be used as a planning tool to support sustainable planning. It is transparant to the planners and to the inhabitants of the city.

Experts:
We will work together with experts: Prof. Winy Maas took the initiative for the project. Prof. Andy van den Dobbelsteen works with us from the department of Sustainability and Climate design. Jaap Wiedenhoff is Director of Arup engineers Amsterdam, global expert in sustainable design. Paul van Bergen is Director of DGMR engineers and developed Green Calc+ Nico Tille is working at the City of Rotterdam and researches at the TU on sustainable city planning.

Peers:
We will discuss our concepts with the peers, for whom we design it:
City of Rotterdam
Rotterdam Cimate Initiative
City of Almere
Ministy of VROM
Dutch Green Building Council
City of Paris (to be confirmed)

Studio and Seminar:
The seminar will evaluate the existing: 
We will current green city initiatives and current sustainability labels.
The studio will consist of two parts: 
In clear steps, we will build the calculator. 
In parallel we will test it and use it to design the optimized green model city.
