Low on carbon,high on development
By Arthur Hanson (China Daily)
(excerpted)
Cities should be the prime focus for low carbon development.Eventually they will house most of the world's population and therefore whatever happens in cities will,more generally,have a huge impact on low carbon energy use.Cities often provide the stimulus for innovation and improved living conditions,and become the source of most consumption.
These factors can provide the demand side for improved standards in transportation and building quality and efficiency for linking health,environment and quality of life concerns that form an essential part of the low carbon message,and for good planning and design.
But cities also can become toxic,unsafe places - the exact opposite of low carbon urban areas.They can turn into sprawling places that are inefficient and corrupt in their decision-making,rely heavily on private vehicles,have poor basic services such as water supply and waste management,and comprise isolated areas for wealthy citizens while most of the residents suffer in poverty.
Many cities in the world lie between these extremes,and therefore offer considerable potential for development - or,in many cases,redevelopment to become sustainable,low carbon habitats.

低碳、高在发展
在阿瑟·汉森(《中国日报》)
(了解)
城市应该是最主要的关注对低碳发展.最终他们会家世界上大部份人口,因此无论城市将会从更广泛的意义上,有了巨大的影响,低碳能源的使用.城市经常提供促进了创新和改善生活条件,并成为大多数消费的来源.
这些因素可以提供需求方面,为改善标准在运输和房屋质量和效率为连接的健康,环境和生活质量的关注,形成的一个基本组成部分低碳信息,为良好的规划和设计.
但城市也能变成有毒、不安全的地方——的完全相反的低碳城市地区.它们可以转化为纵横交错的地方,效率不高和腐败在决策,在很大程度上依赖私人车辆,可怜的基本服务,比如水的供应和废物管理,包括开发地区为富裕公民而大多数居民遭受贫困.
世界上许多城市,隔这两个极端,因此提供相当大的发展潜力,或者,在许多情况下,改造成为永续性、低碳的栖息地
