随着人们不断向大都市地区迁移寻找就业机会，对核心服务和能源的需求，加上人们对气候变化影响的认识不断提高，使全球城市能源的管理和规划面临巨大压力。城市能源服务转型的趋势提供了更大的可负担性，可靠性，效率和适应性，为全球可持续的未来带来了希望。与此同时，这些过渡也有局限性，也有风险。例如，在频谱的一端，我们的城市能源未来包括土地使用蔓延，高化石燃料使用，污染和不健康的城市条件。在这一过渡范围的另一边是更多的能源选择，更健康，更宜居的城市，沿着更少的能源使用和更少的温室气体排放。世界城市转型的未来可能会如何，取决于对当前轨迹的风险以及发展可持续城市能源系统的机遇和局限性的理解。本书汇集了关于城市能源创新的前景和挑战以及相关经济，社会和环境可持续性转型的领先专家。该卷的重点是多学科的审查，为可持续性技术和政策提供信息的研究，以及针对快速城市化和全球城市不同类型变化的分析见解。该卷将包括对城市能源系统现状的概述。它还将记录和评估城市能源前景，以实现可持续、有复原力的未来。
With the continuous migration of people towards metropolitan areas in search of employment, the demands for core services and energy, coupled with an increasing awareness of the impact of climate change, have placed the management and planning of global urban energy under a lot of pressure. Trends toward urban energy service transformations that offer greater affordability, reliability, efficiency and adaptability provide hope for a global sustainable future. At the same time, there are also limits to these transitions, as well as risks involved. For example, on one end of the spectrum, our urban energy future includes land use sprawl, high fossil fuel use, pollution, and unhealthy urban conditions. On the other side of this transition spectrum is more energy choices, and healthier, more livable cities, along with less energy use and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. What the future might hold for transforming the world's cities depends upon an understanding of the risks of current trajectories and the opportunities for and limitations to developing sustainable urban energy systems. This edited volume brings together leading experts on the prospects and challenges of urban energy innovation and on related-economic, social and environmental sustainability transitions. The focus of the volume is on multidisciplinary reviews, research informing technologies and policies for sustainability, and analytical insights addressing rapid urbanization and changes across a diverse typology of global cities. The volume will include an overview of the current state of urban energy systems. It will also document and evaluate urban energy prospects for a sustainable, resilient future.
