Environmental Systems for Sustainable Cities

Analysis Planning Investment Delivery

Brian Dunlop Associates offer comprehensive advice on the planning, technical, financial and regulatory process of integrating environmental systems, 'sustainable infrastructure', into complex and ambitious area-wide development proposals.

By sustainable, or 'green', infrastructure we mean:

• Sustainable community energy systems: embedded generation, community heating, district cooling;
• The deployment of renewable energy technology and the supply of renewable fuels;
• The development of alternative water resources and distribution of reclaimed water for non-potable use;
• Open access information and communications networks;
• Integrated surface water management systems: sustainable urban drainage, vegetated roofs, semi-natural and constructed ecological systems.

Current projects include:

We want to encourage delivery agencies, local authorities and developers to become stakeholders in the creation and ownership of these assets; to have the vision to combine the case for sustainable growth with personal and social values to create a powerful case for change and innovation.

The challenge is to do what many promise
and few actually achieve.
