Low Carbon Energy Pathways in Cities: Selected Papers from the International Conference on Energy and Cities (ICEC2019)

Dear Colleagues,

The issue will address energy flows in cities with special emphasis on renewable energy and energy efficiency approaches within the city and beyond. The scope covers technical papers addressing technologies and policy requirements needed to achieve energy efficiency, reduced consumption and thermal comfort. Recognising the broad range of challenges in energy and cities, the content will provide a platform addressing the challenges and innovation (scientific/technology/policy) development of relevance to cities. This includes ideas and issues pertinent to energy and urban development, addressing cutting-edge research in renewable energy, energy management, energy efficiency, public policy development, and improvement of social wellbeing. Contributions are welcomed from academics, policy makers and industry.
