Description

As the world's population shifts toward urban centers, understanding the connection between cities and climate becomes a necessity. With up to half of the global population expected to live in cities by the end of the century, the impact of urban areas on local climates and energy consumption is massive. This book from the BEST Buildings Energy and Solar Technology series addresses these critical challenges. Cities require enormous amounts of energy to function, and this energy demand directly affects the performance and needs of individual buildings. Despite these significant interactions, the scale and mechanisms behind how urban environments and buildings influence one another remain poorly understood. This text explores these gaps, providing essential context for why mitigation strategies are rarely implemented and how we can better understand the relationship between urban growth and energy use. Ideal for those studying architecture, landscape, or urban planning, this Routledge publication offers a deep look into the growing pressures of urbanization. It provides a foundation for understanding how the built environment shapes our climate and how energy needs continue to evolve in a rapidly urbanizing world.

Key Features

Explores the growing trend of global urbanization and its impact on the world's climate and energy systems.

Analyzes how the urban environment affects the specific energy needs and performance of buildings.

Examines the relationship between large-scale city populations and the vast quantities of energy required for urban function.

Part of the BEST Buildings Energy and Solar Technology series for specialized academic study.

Addresses the lack of understanding regarding the mechanisms that connect urban scale to building energy performance.
