Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Urban areas are significant contributors to global carbon emissions. As cities continue to expand, it is imperative to comprehend and address carbon emissions from urban areas towards global carbon neutrality. This Special Issue, “Urban Carbon Emissions: Measurement and Modeling”, seeks to explore cutting-edge methodologies and emerging technologies for the quantification of, analysis of, and reduction in urban carbon emissions. It aims to integrate interdisciplinary insights from environmental science, urban planning, transportation, and data science to foster a holistic understanding of urban carbon emissions.
Topics of interest of the Special Issue include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Advanced technologies and methodologies for measuring urban carbon emissions;
- Innovative modeling and simulation techniques for urban carbon emissions;
- Quantification of carbon emissions from urban transportation systems;
- Assessment of carbon emissions from changes in urban land use.
This Special Issue serves as a platform for researchers, policymakers, and practitioners to share insights and advancements in the measurement and modeling of urban carbon emissions. We welcome original research articles, reviews, and case studies that contribute to the advancement of urban carbon emissions research.
