Decarbonising cities and the role of remote sensing for planning, developing, and monitoring low carbon precincts
Although space technologies are extremely useful to environmental researchers, the contribution that they make in monitoring city greenhouse gas emissions is limited to measuring those emissions. Standing alone, satellite technology is incapable of advancing the goal of decarbonisation. This goal will be achieved only if municipalities find local methodologies that reduce carbon emissions. Once...
متن کاملDeveloping Smart Cities Services through Semantic Analysis of Social Streams
This paper presents a domain-agnostic framework for intelligent processing of textual streams coming from social networks. The framework implements a pipeline of techniques for semantic representation, sentiment analysis, automatic content classification, and provides an analytics console to get some findings from the extracted data. The effectiveness of the platform has already been proved by ...
متن کاملLow-Carbon Development Patterns: Observations of Typical Chinese Cities
Threatened by the huge pressure caused by climate change, low-carbon cities have become an inevitable part of urban evolution. It is essential to evaluate urban low-carbon development levels to smoothly promote the construction of low-carbon cities. This paper proposes an evaluation index system for urban low-carbon development from the points of view of economic development and social progress...
متن کاملRigorous classification and carbon accounting principles for low and Zero Carbon Cities
A large number of communities, new developments, and regions aim to lower their carbon footprint and aspire to become ‘‘zero carbon’’ or ‘‘Carbon Neutral.’’ Yet there are neither clear definitions for the scope of emissions that such a label would address on an urban scale, nor is there a process for qualifying the carbon reduction claims. This paper addresses the question of how to define a ze...
متن کاملThinking Cities Through Objects
Why study the city through objects? As we will argue below, material objects are analytically important but until recently they have largely been marginalised in urban studies. Thus, our aim here is to bring them to the centre of the analysis of the city. In Part I, after first reviewing how materiality has been taken up in the work of key urbanists, we propose a conceptual and methodological o...
