Sustainable Cities and Energy Policies Paperback / softback
by Roberta Capello, Peter Nijkamp, Gerard Pepping
Part of the Advances in Spatial Science series
Paperback / softback
Description
The aim of this book is to highlight the great potential of decentralized (i.e. local or urban) energy policies in achieving environmentally-benign developments for modern cities.
Urban sustainability is placed in the context of the debate on global sustainable development.
A wide array of policy initiatives is discussed and evaluated, ranging from market-based energy policies to technological innovation policies for the energy sector.
A theoretical framework for technology adoption processes is developed and empirically tested.
The main question addressed is: which are the critical success factors for successful urban energy policies?
This question is also dealt with in a meta-analytic context by assessing and comparing the performance of energy policies in various European cities, with a particular view to renewable energy.
