However, cities are also centers of wealth creation and consumption, which both drive environmental degradation. It is clear that cities need to re-establish themselves as low-energy/low-carbon systems, but the transformation is complex in many ways and time is running out. This Special Issue, “Energy Efficient Cities of Today and Tomorrow”, seeks to provide a more profound understanding of the future energy requirements of urban areas and low-energy and low-carbon cities. The published papers range from macro-level assessments of cities manifesting themselves as forerunners in their environmental work to micro-level studies of pro-environmental attitudes and their impacts on individual emissions, a carbon footprint impacts of sharing of goods and services.History of engineering & technologybicsscpro-environmental attitudepro-environmental behaviorgreenhouse gasesurban zoneslocal travelnational travelinternational travelenergy efficient refurbishment measuresresidential buildingsdecision-makingTheory of Planned Behaviorenergy auditgreen buildingsLEED rating systemoperation and managementmethodologyworkflowhistoric buildingsenergy transitionsustainable citiestransition roadmapsrenewable energiespolicymakingenergy democracyenergy mappinghousehold sizehousehold economies of scalecarbon footprintenergy footprintconsumptionEuropean Unionurbanruralpopulation densityclimate change mitigationenergy communityurban building energy modellingtransition managementmulti-level perspectivesustainable transitionenergy modellingurban scale energy modellingbuilding energy uselocalized weather dataurban building energy use modelManhattanmodellingWepro modelresidentialhouseholdelectricityload profilesLPGALPGSwedish citiespassenger transport energy useurban formtransport infrastructuremobility patternspublic transportnon-motorized modesHistory of engineering & technologyHeinonen Jukkaedt1324206Ala-Mantila SannaedtAkizu-Gardoki OrtziedtHeinonen JukkaothAla-Mantila SannaothAkizu-Gardoki OrtziothBOOK9910557606303321Energy Efficient Cities of Today and Tomorrow3036038UNINA
