Strategy of City Development in Low-Carbon Economic Mode-A Case Study on Qingdao

Abstract

AbstractInstead of indiscriminately “copying” others, the actual conditions of a city should be taken into consideration in the development of a low-carbon economy. By referring to the successful foreign experience of developing low-carbon cities, we should explore a path suitable to the actual conditions of the cities of China. In this regard, Qingdao has pioneered a new path by applying the low-carbon economic mode to the features of its city development, which is well worth referring to.© 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
