Content and Path of Low-carbon City Construction Based on City Function Subarea

Abstract

Energy crisis and global warming have been the worldwide problems which need human being to solve urgently. Cities are the main subject of energy consumption and carbon emission. Construction of low-carbon city becomes the main measurement to solve problems. According to city function sub area, the content of low-carbon city construction includes low-carbon CBD, low-carbon industrial district, low-carbon residential district, and low-carbon suburb in the Perspective of Economic Geography. The basic path of low-carbon city construction contains fundament on low-carbon (low-carbon development of energy), structure on low-carbon (low-carbon development of economy), way on low-carbon (low-carbon development of society), balance on low-carbon (low-carbon development of environment), and support on low-carbon (low-carbon development of technology). It will be a complicated path to complete low-carbon city construction as each sub area needs different treatments due to diverse functional attributes.
