Emerging Low-Carbon Urban Mega-Projects
Abstract This chapter focuses on the recent trend in some geographical locations (particularly China and the United Arab Emirates) towards building large-scale low-carbon city projects. These low-carbon cities are increasingly being described as mega-projects due to their scale and involvement of large-scale experimental approaches to ways of organizing the low-carbon city. The chapter discusses some of the main trends towards the development of low-carbon eco-city projects since 2000, and then introduces the two main low-carbon city mega-projects currently being developed.
