Expo has now become one of the most popular search terms. "Better City, Better Life", also with the Expo's hot popular. As a concentrated expression of the theme Urban Best Practices Area of States, is attracting more and more city managers, experts and business concerns. These cases, and both are concentrated countries in the homes livable, sustainable urbanization and other aspects of the exciting practice. Now is the development of "second Five-Year Plan," when the show in front of these subtle ideas, but also allow people to "second five" urban development in China during the next full of expectations.
Not long ago, 2010 World Cities Summit (WCS) held in Singapore, the central theme of the Summit is "Livable and sustainable city of the future", the show is even more urgent in the face of today's urban problems of urban policy. How to improve the city livable and achieve sustainable development of cities has become a participation in the summit were the focus of city planners. Livable, not only represents the harmony between the city and also on behalf of the sustainable development between cities and the environment of space. Published in the World Cities Summit livable city index, the new index to five categories of 135 indicators to assess the environmental protection and sustainability, economic, internal security and stability, quality of life and the capacity of national governance should constitute the City Index's Top 5 ranking evaluation categories.
Enhance environmental protection and sustainability index, first of all is undoubtedly a need to improve the energy supply and demand tension. Data show that: urban life consumes 70% of energy, of which 15% of the energy consumption from street lighting. Thus helping to reduce urban planners city road lighting energy consumption, reduce environmental pollution to improve the livability in the city has also become a lighting company for technical innovation, improve the direction of lighting solutions. To this end, as a global leader in the lighting industry, Philips proposed the "green road" program to promote energy saving street lighting should be to lead the sustainable development; safe and comfortable, improve quality of life; longevity security, look to the future development and as a "green road" The idea of three pillars. The first proposed the idea of Philips Lighting has been in full swing in China, received from the municipal construction and planning of the industry's highly recognized.
At the summit also officially launched the EssentialLine Philips Series road lighting solutions. This new LED road lighting products with high efficiency, environmentally friendly urban planners for a green upgrade the road to provide better choice, also marks the Philips Lighting in the promotion of "green road" should be introduced on the construction of living index as the market point to a new era.
Livable city for sustainable development
"If the last century as an era of globalization, this century will be the era of integration of global cities. Asian cities reflects the rise of the global economy from the West to the East of a balanced state. In this context, will become more and more small and medium sized cities, while large cities will be transformed into a super region. "World Cities Summit Committee Vice-Chairman, Singapore Association for the Promotion of industrial development and investment director, said Chung Tak spin. A century ago, only 10% of the world population lives in cities, to the early 21st century, this proportion had increased to more than 50%, while the middle of the century to reach 75%. In Asia, a study by the United Nations, 2008, in Southeast Asian countries, 45% of the population live in urban areas. 2030, this proportion is expected to reach 56.5%. At present, China is conducting the largest ever in a city of movement. In 2008, China's urbanization rate reached 45.68%, to reach 655 cities. Rapid economic growth and energy consumption for urban construction planners to bring a new set of environmental issues, energy and the environment to bring more pressure. These changes will also be given, including the infrastructure, including outdoor lighting to bring a heavier load.
How to grow at the same time in the city, and do not damage the environment and reduce energy and resource consumption, urban and environment to achieve harmony? The history of modern city planning programmatic document - "New Charter of Athens", has made sustainable development and quality of life as a basic goal of urban planning. And this is what Philips City.People.Light (cities. Residents. Light, referred to as CPL) concept of the core themes of concern. 90s in the 20th century, Philips introduced the first series of studies around the world gathered in the thinking of creative leaders, the entire concept of the formation of the CPL and methodology. This is a highly integrated concepts and methodology, knowledge and skills beyond the current framework, the future, by focusing on urban development planning in the views of the parties, the city, people, and combination of lighting technology, the use of advanced lighting solutions, allow people to enrich the urban experience and convenient to further enhance the city's livability index. Since 2009, Philips launched a series of in China, CPL core concept of the seminar, making the combination of technology and the concept of humanistic care for more planning and construction of Chinese cities have a profound inspiration.
Harmonious urban sustainable development is one of the three themes of Philips CPL. Under this theme, Philips advocates should be people-oriented city, the pursuit of sustainable development. Lighting to meet the people live, work, health and safety, while the basic functions, to create more people with the city, a place of communication between people integrate, you also need to bring a sense of belonging and pride of the city residents. Constitute the urban construction and road surface texture, depend on a variety of transport and access, it is realized in different regions and the free flow of space. Into the night, lighting people and vehicles will naturally become the baton to arrange a road between pedestrians and drivers parallel and prevails.
Thus the "green road" to achieve sustainable development in an important way of harmonious cities. "Green road" performance in the role of a catalyst for urban quality of life, can improve the quality of road lighting for people to travel to provide comfort and convenience to ensure traffic safety; and the use of advanced technology allows long life and reliable street lighting systems, protection of urban arterial safe and stable operation, reduces maintenance time and costs, to reduce the occupancy of social resources; but also through the excellent energy performance and improve the overall level of sustainable urban development and the potential reserves.
Data: only 3% of the current in the European road lighting with energy-efficient technologies. In China, this figure may be even lower. Current status quo is most of the roads in China are using high pressure sodium lighting, high pressure sodium lamp there are not only short-lived, low color rendering index defects, and can not dynamically adjust the power to balance the effect of peak energy consumption. To this end, China's road lighting based on rich practical experience and research, Philips introduced a different city, road and construction requirements of the full range of solutions.
Shaping the urban space of four multi Raiders
In China, the cities of the geographical, economic, social and cultural levels vary in different regions in the same city there are the requirements and implementation of road lighting conditions specific differences; and specific to the road conditions, for high-speed roads, trunk roads, mix of people and vehicles roadway, sidewalk, such as different road conditions, lighting also like music as timely and smooth transition, with flexibility to truly meet the lighting requirements of a livable city. "It is hard to" solve the root of the problem would require "green road" solution providers can adhere to the premise of energy efficiency, with flexible and diversified product portfolio and strategy.
In 2010, Philips Lighting, the concept was proposed based on the three pillars of the balanced development of the "four Raiders," lighting the way to meet different needs: a truly professional LED lights; Second, the unique warm white lights; three, intelligent road dimming system; Fourth, energy-saving high-efficiency high-pressure sodium lamps. Construction sector in different cities, can be based on their specific needs to be combined.
Concern to the industry has been widely LED lights with high color rendering index, light uniformity, high luminous efficiency, long life and other multi-edge intelligent light, the maximum energy 45% light output efficiency can be doubled every two years, and These two values are still rising fast. To ClearLine, for example, it not only has up to 50,000 hours of life, greatly reducing maintenance costs; with Philips Road dimming system Step Dim, in non-rush hour traffic can also save an additional 50% of energy consumption; and forward-looking The modular design can be easily upgraded to reduce maintenance costs and avoid waste of energy resources, making the municipal authorities and taxpayers benefit. Street and Lane reconstruction project from Zhengzhou Dalian Economic and Technological Development Zone to the industrial area of Manpower Street, Longquan Street, Bowring Street and other sections of the road and then to Kunshan Enterprise Technology Park, Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court Road, Mianyang, cotton State Road, and Mianyang, Beichuan and other main roads, Philips ClearLine of these roads has become the city's high-quality green model for road construction, so that people can more safely and comfortably enjoy the city's exciting night, and the green Energy series from the friendly relations between the city and the environment.
Warm White Philips road lighting street lighting is another important four Raiders in the green power LED street lighting system and Philips form new and efficient road lighting system gold portfolio. It is close to the sun the color performance, significantly improved visibility and easier to identify details of the road and surrounding environment characteristics of the road lighting to enhance safety and comfort to new heights, while comprehensive energy saving of up to 44%. And won the prestigious British lighting design industry "best light and electrical" award, known as the road lighting "replacement model." Shanghai currently has Caoxibeilu, Jiading New City Road, Chongqing Zhongshan four, Guanyinqiao tunnels, and Hengyang Road to Hampshire Avenue, a green dress.
In addition to the "big four Raiders", Philips and street management departments across the country co-operation, including raising the level of application of energy-efficient lighting throughout the software services. Not long ago, Philips and Chongqing street Bureau set up the first training base for a green road lighting, the basic unit used to provide more "green way" special training.
"Green road" of development, in addition to hardware and software standards to promote, but also a help in the system. May 2009, Philips had indicated a willingness to reform and lack of green provide the initial funding of financial support, which pioneered the industry in the development of green lighting new ideas. Now, Philips intends to "green road" into the field of "energy management contract" model to increase customer enthusiasm, after the energy saving benefits from the return on investment and get the profits.
Livable, sustainable development has become the face of the future development of the city depicting the "Keywords." Philips "green road" concept, with its energy and build more harmonious in the city and the environment, the advantages of the relationship between the residents, the city will become tomorrow the choice of prior agreement, the establishment of the sustainable development of Chinese-style model for livable cities. Advanced innovation and technology is to achieve all this means to Philips LED warm white lights street lighting system for street lighting on behalf of the efficient green solutions will help city planners to create safe and comfortable, stability, prosperity and sustainable development of the modern city, creating a beautiful green city of the future.
