DESCRIPTION:The EU Smart Cities programme and sub programmes such as those
  on district heating and cooling (DHC)\, together with technological innov
 ations such as electric cars and pollution free zones present a&nbsp\; vis
 ion of the modern city which may or may not be realised. But there are man
 y lessons for similar visions of landscapes. In some sense the technology 
 is the easy part. The real challenge\, for modelling\, is to integrate the
  technological\, economic\, social and environmental. There are matters of
  ownership\, the development of new business models\, public-private fundi
 ng and&nbsp\; scale (national/regional/local). Contracts play a key part a
 nd we will advocate\, as with cities\, model-based contract design\, to co
 pe with the tensions between long-term and short-term investment and betwe
 en CAPEX and OPEX. Some exemplar issues will be mentioned: the economic an
 d social aspects of flooding\, the use of wetlands for carbon capture and 
 the citizen as energy prosumer.
