Investigating Low-Carbon City: Empirical Study of Shanghai

Abstract: A low-carbon economy is an inevitable choice for achieving economic and ecological sustainable development. It is of significant importance to analyze a city's low-carbon economy development level scientifically and reasonably. In order to achieve this goal, we propose an urban low-carbon economic development level evaluation model based on the matter-element extension method. First, we select some indicators from the existing indicator system based on past research and experience. Then, a matter-element model… Show more

“…With the emphasis on sustainable development, the number of related research begins to increase. Combing the relevant research about sustainability, it can be found that the research content mainly focuses on the following aspects: (1) the mechanism of factors affecting sustainable marine economic development, such as environmental regulation and technological innovation [9,10]; (2) conservation strategy and development path to sustainable development [11,12]; (3) evaluating local low-carbon economy from the perspective of regions or cities [13][14][15][16] and various sectors, such as the industrial sector and transport, etc. [17][18][19].…”

“…For example, Kaya Yoichi proposed the KAYA model and Mahony extended the KAYA model, which states that population, energy consumption per unit of energy, energy intensity per unit of GDP, and per capita GDP will affect the carbon emissions of a region or country [13]; Kerkhof, from the perspective of household expenditure, Calculate household carbon dioxide in the Netherlands, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom in 2000 to identify factors affecting CO2 emissions within or between countries [14]. In China, scholars have tended to construct an evaluation system and use empirical methods for research [15][16][17]. The evaluation methods include the analytic hierarchy process, principal component, factor analysis, TOPSIS, and entropy weighting [18][19][20].…”

“…Innovative ideas in low carbon cites include advanced water treatment methods (e.g., desalination) to minimize energy use, re-evaluation of raw water intake strategies to minimize energy use requirements, promotion of water demand management through price or non-price measures, water conservation management, and advanced water supply technology, processes, materials, and equipment for saving water and energy efficiency [2,11,33,83,147,148]. Meanwhile, low carbon emission pathways in sewage treatment systems can be offset by adopting strategies such as decentralized treatment systems as coverage expands to peri-urban areas, low-energy anaerobic treatment, minimization of carbon emissions from sludge disposal, grey water recycle and treatment, and the construction of rainwater and sewage diversion system [8,33,43,[148][149][150]. Low impact development assists in achieving the sustainable site design and protects water quality through the promotion of appropriate actions such as planning practices (e.g., green roof, bioswales, rainwater harvesting, constructed wetlands, permeable paving, and retention and detention ponds) and planning principles (e.g., vegetation conservation design and curtail land interference) [33,83,148,150].…”
