Publisher's Synopsis
A seminal work that draws together representative insights and case studies on this emerging topic, combining and synthesising important theoretical, methodological, and empirical debates on low-carbon urbanism across a variety of disciplines - including environmental and urban studies, sociology, geography, engineering and politics. The socio-political background of urban decarbonisation, developments in urban planning, building design, urban-scale technology and digital solutions are discussed and evaluated, based on case studies from cities situated in tropical and temperate regions across the globe.
