Key Words megacity biogeochemistry, city succession, industrial metabolism, air pollution, system simulations s Abstract This paper reviews the available data and models on energy and material flows through the world's 25 largest cities. Throughput is categorized as stored, transformed, or passive for the major flow modes. The aggregate, fuel, food, water, and air cycles are all examined. Emphasis is placed on atmospheric pathways because the data are abundant. Relevant models of urban energy and material flows, demography, and atmospheric chemistry are discussed. Earth system-level loops from cities to neighboring ecosystems are identified. Megacities are somewhat independent of their immediate environment for food, fuel, and aggregate inputs, but all are constrained by their regional environment for supplying water and absorbing wastes. We elaborate on analogies with biological metabolism and ecosystem succession as useful conceptual frameworks for addressing urban ecological problems. We conclude that whereas data are numerous for some individual cities, cross-cutting compilations are lacking in biogeochemical analysis and modeling. Synthesis of the existing information will be a crucial first step. Cross-cutting field research and integrated, multidisciplinary simulations will be necessary.

“…One early study of this type used a static linear goal programming model to minimize pollutant emissions, energy system costs and energy imports for the planning of future energy systems in Delhi [234]. This is cited by Ramanathan [235] as they consider the effectiveness of five electricity generation options available to ur-ban households in Madras.…”

Energy use in cities has attracted significant research in recent years. However such a broad topic inevitably results in number of alternative interpretations of the problem domain and the modelling tools used in its study. This paper seeks to pull together these strands by proposing a theoretical definition of an urban energy system model and then evaluating the state of current practice. Drawing on a review of 219 papers, five key areas of practice were identified -technology design, building design, urban climate, systems design, and policy assessment -each with distinct and incomplete interpretations of the problem domain. We also highlight a sixth field, land use and transportation modelling, which has direct relevance to the use of energy in cities but has been somewhat overlooked by the literature to date.Despite their diversity, these approaches to urban energy system modelling share four common challenges in understanding model complexity, data quality and uncertainty, model integration, and policy relevance. We then examine the opportunities for improving current practice in urban energy systems * Corresponding author Email addresses: j.keirstead@imperial.ac.uk (James Keirstead), m.jennings09@imperial.ac.uk (Mark Jennings), a.sivakumar@imperial.ac.uk (Aruna Sivakumar) Preprint submitted to Renewable and Sustainable Energy ReviewsOctober 5, 2011modelling, focusing on the potential of sensitivity analysis and cloud computing, data collection and integration techniques, and the use of activity-based modelling as an integrating framework. The results indicate that there is significant potential for urban energy systems modelling to move beyond single disciplinary approaches towards a sophisticated integrated perspective that more fully captures the theoretical intricacy of urban energy systems.

“…Kueppers et al (2004) develop a policy tool, in the form of a multi-attribute decision matrix, which can be used to evaluate potential and completed land-use projects for their climate, environmental and socioeconomic impacts simultaneously. Kambo et al (1991) Vallega (1996) and Nordrum et al (2004) use a consistent approach to using structure within the coastal system and estimating greenhouse gas emissions for the petroleum industry. Mongelli et al (2006) use InputOutput model to calculate the intensities of energy consumption and the related Green House Gases emission, for each Italian economic sector.…”
