CHAOS manifesto for sustainable urban development

This is our manifesto: the values and the actions we live by. With this publication we invite every person and business working with cities, built environment and urban development to participate in making liveable and sustainable cities.

1. Smart cities are solutions to sustainability problems deriving from rapid urbanisation.

Digital technology can cut global emissions by 15%, (or one-third of the 50% reduction required by 2030) through solutions of land use, buildings services, transportation and traffic management.

A smart sustainable city is an innovative city that uses data from various physical touchpoints to improve the quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and ecological health,  while ensuring that it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social, environmental as well as cultural aspects.

2. A happy city invests in simple pleasures: creating a sense of community, meaning, the freedom to move about flexibly.

Urban happiness gives a positive perception of a place to the various people who live in it and induces them to spend a long time there or to opt to live there again with the same experience. We believe in the alliance of human intelligence and innovation. Putting residents and tenants at the heart of your plans is essential to successful real estate development.

3. Cities can be designed to generate more equality and growth.

Competitiveness does not simply spontaneously emerge. Structure cities so that they generate effective competition, and so that they compete in ways that serve the broad public and unleash the vast potential for economic growth that is hampered by current infrastructure.

Communal living brings the village back to the city

The concept of communal living is not new: the oldest way of living is living in a village. For Future Living Specialist Kimmo Rönkä, communal living is based on cycles in people’s lives. With many proven benefits and opportunities, why haven’t we already adopted this concept broadly in Finland?
