Abstract
This paper is a theoretical study of governing solar urban districts using the smart city system. It first presents the major theme of the sustainable urban future, points out the position of the solar energy in urban sustainable development. Then it presents the opportunities and challenges of the solar energy system, states that the innovation of technology from both the soft side and the hard side are the key points for governing the solar urban districts. The paper also shows the relationship between innovation, economies, and social sustainable development. Finally, the paper presents the smart city system as an innovative system. It needs to govern the solar urban district from all aspects (including but not limited to public services, city administration, and management, economy, pro-business environment, built environment and city infrastructure, natural environment and ecological sustainability). The lifecycle thinking and the GUUD model can be used to analyse and monitor the system. However, managing those fragment elements is not that simple. One of the challenges of integrating a smart city system is to build a connection between fragmental elements and make individual islands communicate with each other in order to achieve common goals.
Highlights
The solar energy system as one of the fast-growing clean energy systems, its development has significate meaning to climate change
It is important to understand the position of the solar urban district in the large context of sustainable development, try to develop an innovative, smart and integrated solution that governs the solar urban district from all aspects
In the second half of 20th century, an urban sprawl phenomenon with all the negative effects, such as increasing car-dependency for mobility, spending time daily on trips home-work, reduction of agriculture areas, the degradation of the landscape, reduction of air quality and higher energy consumption was led by urban development [1]
Summary
The solar energy system as one of the fast-growing clean energy systems, its development has significate meaning to climate change. Building a sustainable solar urban district requires consideration from multidimensional aspects from the different levels. It is important to understand the position of the solar urban district in the large context of sustainable development, try to develop an innovative, smart and integrated solution (a framework) that governs the solar urban district from all aspects
