Self Sufficient City Woha

Self Sufficient City Woha Self sufficient city is a design concept for a new town in indonesia that is regenerative, high density, high amenity, self sufficient in food, energy and water, car free and has high biodiversity and ecosystem services. The concepts expanded the ambition for a new town to be regenerative, high density, high amenity, self sufficient in food, energy and water, car free and to have high biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Self Sufficient City Woha Control limit. to create a tropical “eco town in a forest”, which would retain over half of the existing green landscape, woha integrated the site’s horizontal land use allocations with the stratification of its self sufficient city prototype. As part of the icsid world design congress 2009, woha spearheaded a vertical studio to explore an idealistic self sufficient city for singapore in 2050. in 2014, the authors evolved these ideas and produced a tangible and buildable blueprint for a new town master plan proposal in northern jakarta. A self sufficient city is defined as an urban settlement that can meet most or all of its essential needs—such as food, energy, water, housing, and waste management—using its own local resources, systems, and infrastructure, while minimising reliance on external inputs. Using a strict height limit to our advantage, the housing blocks are lifted off the ground, providing an expansive canopy for large scale urban farming and photovoltaics. by elevating the housing, the entire lower strata is liberated for public uses.

The ‘city columns’ establish a fully pedestrianized city, entirely negating the need for cars above the ground level. as a basic module, the city grid has the capacity to extend seamlessly and endlessly in any direction. Using woha’s ‘macro architecture micro urbanism’ approach as a prototype, the book presents a compelling manifesto for densely settled, yet comprehensively green and ultimately self sufficient cities of the future. The multi layered green space creates a self sufficient ecosystem highlighting ideas of sustainability and resilience through the marriage of technology and nature. The city would be shrinking its footprint and getting closer to taking up as many resources as it can replace. it would be self sufficient in renewable energy, water and food, and carbon neutral in its operations and embodied energy.
