Management into the Development Strategies of Urbanizing Regions in Asia: Implications of Urban Function, Form, and Role

摘要: The way urbanization unfolds over the next few decades in developing countries of Asia will have profound implications for sustainability. One more important opportunities is to guide along pathways that begin uncouple these gains well-being from rising levels energy use. Increasing use transport, construction, climate control houses and offices, industrial processes often accompanied by increasing atmospheric emissions impact human health, ecosystem functions, system. Agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry alter carbon stocks fluxes as dioxide, methane, black carbon. In this article we explore how management could be integrated into development strategies cities urbanizing regions. particular, changes urban form, roles might timing, aggregation, spatial distribution, composition emissions. Our emphasis on identifying system linkages points leverage. study draws primarily emission inventories regional histories carried out regions around Manila, Jakarta, Ho Chi Minh City, New Delhi, Chiang Mai. We find such mobility, shelter, food, are provided has major emissions, each function influenced form role distinct ways. case studies highlight need “U-turns” policy.
