Urban Fuel Poverty describes key approaches to defining and
alleviating fuel poverty in cities using a multidisciplinary
perspective and multiple case studies. It provides empirical
knowledge on the levels and intensities of energy poverty in urban
areas, along with new theoretical perspectives in conceptualizing
the multidimensionality of energy poverty, with special focus given
to the urban environment. Chapters discuss what energy poverty is
in terms of taxonomy, stakeholders and affected parties, addressing
the role of the economy and energy bills, the role of climate and
city factors, the role of buildings, and the health and
psychological impact on fuel poverty. The book addresses how to
measure energy poverty, how to map it, and how to draw conclusions
based on illness and social indicators. Finally, it explores
measures to 'fight' fuel poverty, including policy and governance
actions, building efficiency improvements and city planning.
