{"c_title":"[M0.003800] Urban Planning for Carbon-Neutral Cities","c_info":"3 credits | Lecture\/Seminar | Master | Dept. of Environmental Planning","c_summary":"Cities are home to more than 50% of the world's population, and are the engines for economic growth. While urbanization has generated beneficial agglomeration advantages, it has also contributed to the growth in forces threatening sustainability. Cities, in particular, are becoming increasingly critical in reaching carbon neutrality as human and economic activities in cities increase energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. This class aims to understand the role and strategy of urban and regional planning to fundamentally reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the transportation and building sectors, as well as to study domestic and international carbon neutral urban planning cases and current research trends."}
