Effects of Urban Form on Carbon Emissions in China: Implications for Low-Carbon Urban Planning

Diverse Effects of Consumer Credit on Household Carbon Emissions at Quantiles: Evidence from Urban China

This paper surveys the diverse effects of consumer credit on household carbon emissions (HCEs) based on consumption patterns revealed by urban Chinese survey data. Based on the foundation of existing literature, consumption patterns and influential factors are carefully chosen to build empirical models that apply Heteroscedasticity-consistent covariance matrix estimation and quantile regression...

Planning for low-carbon urban growth: the impact of urban form on transport and the environment on the urban fringe of Beijing

Supporting Urban Planning of Low-Carbon Precincts: Integrated Demand Forecasting

Waste is a symbol of inefficiency in modern society and represents misallocated resources. This paper outlines an on-going interdisciplinary research project entitled ―Integrated ETWW demand forecasting and scenario planning for low-carbon precincts‖ and reports on first findings and a literature review. This large multi-stakeholder research project develops a shared platform for integrated ETW...

Low-Carbon Urban Planning from an Ecosystem Perspective

Low-carbon city is a hotspot under the background of climate change. Current problem on low-carbon urban planning was analyzed based on low-carbon city development practices. Low-carbon urban planning methods were studied from an ecosystem perspective, and new pathways for low-carbon city construction were suggested. Low-carbon development should be carried on from four aspects: urban structure...

Urban Tree Effects on Soil Organic Carbon

Urban trees sequester carbon into biomass and provide many ecosystem service benefits aboveground leading to worldwide tree planting schemes. Since soils hold ∼75% of ecosystem organic carbon, understanding the effect of urban trees on soil organic carbon (SOC) and soil properties that underpin belowground ecosystem services is vital. We use an observational study to investigate effects of thre...
