This book sets out some positive directions to move forward
including government policy and regulatory options, an innovative
GRID (Greening, Regenerative, Improvement Districts) scheme that
can assist with funding and management, and the first steps towards
an innovative carbon credit scheme for the built environment.
Decarbonising cities is a global agenda with huge significance for
the future of urban civilisation. Global demonstrations have shown
that technology and design issues are largely solved. However, the
mainstreaming of low carbon urban development, particularly at the
precinct scale, currently lacks sufficient: standards for measuring
carbon covering operational, embodied and transport emissions;
assessment and decision-making tools to assist in design options;
certifying processes for carbon neutrality within the built
environment; and accreditation processes for enabling carbon
credits to be generated from precinct-wide urban development.
Numerous barriers are currently hindering greater adoption of high
performance, low carbon developments, many of which relate to
implementation and governance. How to enable and manage
precinct-scale renewables and other low carbon technologies within
an urban setting is a particular challenge.
