This book forges a link between residential CO2 emissions and time
use, focussing on China as a key case study. To provide a better
understanding of the energy implications of the lifestyle
differences between urban and rural China, Pui Ting Wong and Yuan
Xu utilise time-use methodology as an alternative way to explore
the links between individual lifestyle and residential electricity
consumption. They begin by examining how Chinese citizens divide
their time between daily activities, highlighting patterns around
indicators including age, gender, education, and economic status.
They go on to quantify CO2 intensities of these time-use
activities. Through this linkage, this book presents an alternative
strategy for climate-friendly living, highlighting the ways in
which urban planning can be deployed to help individuals adapt
their time-use patterns for CO2 mitigation. Providing a novel
contribution to the growing literature on residential electricity
consumption, Residential Electricity Consumption in Urbanizing
China will be of great interest to scholars of climate policy,
energy studies, time use, and urban planning.
