A Brief Analysis of Planning Approaches to the Reduction of Urban Carbon Emissions

Abstract:

Urban area is the main area from where our planet’s carbon discharges. It is generally accepted that the reduction of carbon will result in lower rate of economic growth. On the condition of not containing economic development, from the perspective of urban Planning, this paper tries to explore the planning approaches to the reduction of urban carbon emissions in terms of plans for the development of industries, city scale, urban spatial context, urban transportation, urban green space, architectural patterns, energy planning and urban water supply.
