This book is based on multidisciplinary research focusing on
low-carbon healthy city planning, policy and assessment. This
includes city-development strategy, energy, environment, healthy,
land-use, transportation, infrastructure, information and other
related subjects. This book begins with the current status and
problems of low-carbon healthy city development in China. It then
introduces the global experience of different regions and different
policy trends, focusing on individual cases. Finally, the book
opens a discussion of Chinese low-carbon healthy city development
from planning and design, infrastructure and technology
assessment-system perspectives. It presents a case study including
the theory and methodology to support the unit city theory for
low-carbon healthy cities. The book lists the ranking of China's
269 high-level cities, with economic, environmental, resource,
construction, transportation and health indexes as an assessment
for creating a low-carbon healthy future. The book provides readers
with a comprehensive overview of building low-carbon healthy cities
in China.
In the face of increasingly serious resource and environmental
challenges, the world has already accepted low-carbon development
as the main way forward for future city construction. Chinese
cities have encountered many problems during their development,
including land constraints, energy shortages, traffic congestion
and air pollution. For this reason, the national meeting of the
Central Work Conference on Urbanization made the strategic decision
to take a new approach to urbanization and indicated that in future
the key features of urbanization in China will be low-carbon
development and harmony between the environment and resources. This
book discusses the "low-carbon city" as the new pattern of Chinese
urbanization. This represents a major change and takes "intensive
land use," "intelligent," "green" and "low carbon" as its key
words. Low carbon will become an important future development
direction for Chinese urbanization development. In the twenty-first
Century in response to the global climate change, countries have
started a wave of low-carbon city construction. But in China, there
are still many disputes and misunderstandings surrounding the
issue. Due to a lack of research, low-carbon city construction in
China is still in the early stages, and while there have been
successes, there have also been failures. There are complex and
diverse challenges in applying low-carbon development methods in
the context of today's Chinese cities. The construction of
low-carbon cities requires efficient government, the technological
innovation of enterprises, and professional scholars, but also
efforts on the part of the public to change their daily activities.
Based on the above considerations, the collection brings together
experts from urban planning and design, clean-energy systems,
low-carbon transportation, new types of city infrastructure and
smart cities etc., in the hope of forming some solutions for
Chinese low-carbon city development.
