GEOG 311 Lecture Notes - Lecture 17: Waste Heat, World Health Organization, Urban Air
Document Summary
Emissions external to the city but due to local activities --> e. g. providing electricity by turbines in dams. Local emissions due to local activities --> e. g. everything goes into the urban metabolism within the city itself. Local emissions due to external activities --> e. g. things you order online arrive to your door, bringing along with it transportation/logistic emissions. You can measure this by per area or per capita (a specific region or per person respectively) India, china, japan, us --> high levels of co2 emissions per capita in a year. Per capita use makes a difference --> e. g. in the us the per capita use is much higher than china (as it is more per area emissions) Building/parcel --> accomplished by building design and technology, analyzing occupant behavior, via individuals/companies/co-operatives. Neighborhood --> urban form, land-use mix, via neighborhood discussions and communities.
