国际低碳城市发展研究——以纽约和伦敦为例

International Low Carbon City Development Research: A Case Study of New York and London

低碳城市是低碳发展的热点方向,城市作为人类生产和生活的基本单元,也是用以衡量碳排放和环境污染的基本单元,同时也是碳减排和可持续发展的重要环节。中国在城市发展水平和能源效率等方面仍落后于发达国家,为避免我国发展成为高消费、高排放的经济模式,因此文中借鉴纽约和伦敦较为成功的案例。首先,梳理纽约市和伦敦市的低碳发展现状,同时明确其低碳发展目标,并提出与之相对应的低碳措施,最主要的环节是:能源、交通、建筑三部分。纽约市对废弃物,伦敦市对低碳家庭与办公也提出了相应的要求。在对以上两城市类比分析上,适应我国国情的碳减排策略,从而实现低碳城市建设。

Low carbon city is the hotspot of low carbon development.As the basic unit of human production and life,cities are also the basic unit to measure carbon emissions and environmental pollution,which are an important link of carbon emission reduction and sustainable development at the same time.China is still lagging behind developed countries in terms of urban development level and energy efficiency.In order to avoid China’s economy’s developing into a high consumption and high emission model,this paper draws on the successful cases of New York and London.Firstly,paper combs the low-carbon development status of New York City and London City,and clarifies its low-carbon development goals,and puts forward corresponding low-carbon measures.The main elements are energy,transportation,and construction.New York City has put forward corresponding requirements for waste and London for low-carbon households and offices.In the analogy analysis of the above two cities,the carbon emission reduction strategies are adapted to China’s national conditions,so as to realize the construction of low-carbon cities.
