Modelling greenhouse gas emissions savings from circular cities

这项为期4年的学习由EPSRC资助，对英国和欧盟的申请者开放。博士培训和研究将在伦敦大学学院巴特利特规划学院的博士培训中心内进行。这项研究旨在确定城市转向循环发展路径后温室气体(GHG)排放量的减少(更多信息请参见http://circularcitieshub.com/)。循环发展路径包括资源循环(例如，灰水和基础设施回收、能源回收)；城市适应(灵活的基础设施、空间、自组织社区)；以及生态再生(恢复城市生态系统服务)，以使城市区域能够与社会需求协同发展，同时减少其生态足迹和温室气体排放(通过封存、能源回收、本地化资源流动、减少进入垃圾填埋场的废物等)。这项研究将产生可供城市使用的方法和工具，以计算采用这种方法可以节省的排放量。

This 4-year studentship is funded by EPSRC and is open both to UK and EU applicants. The PhD training and research will be carried out within the Centre for Doctoral Training in the Bartlett School of Planning, University College London. The research aims to determine the reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resulting from transitioning to a circular development pathway in cities (see http://circularcitieshub.com/ for more information). The circular development pathway integrates resource looping (e.g. grey-water and infrastructure recycling, energy recovery); urban adaptation (flexible infrastructure, spaces, self-organising communities); and ecological regeneration (the restoration of urban ecosystem services), to enable the city-region to co-evolve with societal needs, whilst reducing its ecological footprint and GHG emissions (through sequestration, energy recovery, localising resource flows, reducing waste going to landfill, etc). The research will produce methodologies and tools which can be used by cities to calculate the emissions savings they can make from adopting this approach.
