This compendium of 29 chapters from 18 countries contains both
fundamental and advanced insight into the inevitable shift from
cities dominated by the fossil-fuel systems of the industrial age
to a renewable-energy based urban development framework. The
cross-disciplinary handbook covers a range of diverse yet relevant
topics, including: carbon emissions policy and practice; the role
of embodied energy; urban thermal performance planning; building
efficiency services; energy poverty alleviation efforts; renewable
community support networks; aspects of household level bio-fuel
markets; urban renewable energy legislation, programs and
incentives; innovations in individual transport systems; global
urban mobility trends; implications of intelligent energy networks
and distributed energy supply and storage; and the case for new
regional monetary systems and lifestyles. Presented are practical
and principled aspects of technology, economics, design, culture
and society, presenting perspectives that are both local and
international in scope and relevance.
