Net Zero Cities with Sustainability

A Practitioner’s Approach
This important book sheds light on the opportunities and complexities involved in the transition to net zero cities. Drawing on the framework of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, Peter Newman outlines how cities can achieve net zero and sustainability agendas together as part of the global shift to a new economy.

Newman examines key strategies for developing net zero cities, showing that core technologies of renewable energy, batteries and electric vehicles are commercially available but that how best to integrate them into different parts of cities is now the urban practitioner’s role. He explores projects that are demonstrating net zero with sustainability outcomes and even net positive with regenerative urbanism, highlighting the challenges of integrating new techniques into existing systems rapidly and at scale. Analysing theories of creative destruction, urban fabrics and structural change alongside detailed case studies, the book reflects on the history of turbulent change, ultimately demonstrating that there is hope of reaching full net zero by 2050, with plans for subsequent global cooling.

Net Zero Cities with Sustainability is an invaluable resource for urban professionals and practitioners in a range of disciplines, including energy, environment, planning, design, business and economic development. Its insights will also benefit students and scholars of sustainability, geography, public policy, town planning and transport.
