Abstract

Efforts to understand and promote energy efficiency in cities have focused on the design of structures, vehicle fuel efficiency, and modal choice. However, changes in energy policies can have effects on urban form that may either reinforce or offset the energy savings expected under the policy. At the same time, urban development policies have major effects on the use of energy for commuting and within households. The effects of housing and urban development policies on energy consumption and the effects of energy consumption policies on housing and urban development are both substantial but have been neglected in discussions of either energy or urban policy.
