Social Factors Affecting Low-Carbon Cities
Abstract Cities are complex anthropological constructs defined by an intricate web of economic, ecological, and social factors. Given their control and influence over planning and services, they play a defining role in climate change mitigation efforts and are well placed to show leadership and foster meaningful transition at various scales. This chapter considers the social factors that affect—both directly and indirectly—and give direction to particular decisions around the strategic planning of, transition to, and ongoing sustainability of low-carbon cities. Three key scenarios are discussed: rapidly emerging cities making early infrastructural decisions, mature cities with high per capita emissions, and already built-up cities reconciling growth and emissions in developing countries. The case is made that successful long-term transition toward low-carbon cities requires coherent and effective measures taken across government, industry, and civil society in order to facilitate sustained learning and innovation.
