Planning for Low-Carbon Smart Cities in India
A human greed is never ending which gives rise to social as well as environmental externalities. In the past decade, India’s extraordinary urbanization has analogous growth in primary energy demand. With urban per capita scenario, commercial energy prompts three times higher energy demand than rural areas because urban areas are the foundation of energy and CO2 emission giving rise to climate change. This paper will first review the traditional practices and approaches in the context of the low-carbon cities and related climate-resilient cities initiatives, as development strategies for addressing and highlighting urbanization challenges. An attempt has been made through this study to explore the major root causes and factors of climate change and variable ideas of low-carbon resilient cities. The article is an exploratory type, in which different practices worldwide for a low-carbon and resilient city model have been incorporated.
