Decarbonising cities is a global agenda with huge significance for the future of urban civilisation. Global demonstrations have shown that technology and design issues are largely solved. However, the mainstreaming of low carbon urban development, particularly at the precinct scale, currently lacks sufficient: standards for measuring carbon covering operational, embodied and transport emissions; assessment and decision-making tools to assist in design options; certifying processes for carbon neutrality within the built environment; and accreditation processes for enabling carbon credits to be generated from precinct-wide urban development. Numerous barriers are currently hindering greater adoption of high performance, low carbon developments, many of which relate to implementation and governance. How to enable and manage precinct-scale renewables and other low carbon technologies within an urban setting is a particular challenge. 410 0$aGreen Energy and Technology,$x1865-3529 606 $aEnergy efficiency 606 $aClimate change 606 $aEnvironmental economics 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEnergy Efficiency$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/118000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 606 $aEnvironmental Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W48000 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 615 0$aEnergy efficiency. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 0$aEnvironmental economics. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 14$aEnergy Efficiency. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 615 24$aEnvironmental Economics. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 676 $a307.1216 700 $aRauland$b Vanessa$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0861733 702 $aNewman$b Peter$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299615203321 996 $aDecarbonising Cities$91922968 997 $aUNINA
