Abstract
Urban communities can be defined as key unit in advancing low-carbon city. The perspective of carbon metabolism in urban communities can help in unveiling emission characteristics and complex interactions between urban environment and communities. This paper introduced the metabolic perspective to unveil the intrinsic impetus of carbon emissions and reflect environmental impact to related systems in urban communities integrating the urban and household metabolism. The interactions of carbon metabolism at urban, communal and household levels were investigated to trace carbon flows. A conceptual metabolic model was also developed to reveal the mechanism of carbon metabolism in urban communities.
