Abstract

City is the important carrier for creating material wealth. However, it is the major consumer of energy and major emitters of greenhouse gases. So low-carbon cities and ecological civilization have become the strategic choices for sustainable development in our economic society. Starting from the concept of low-carbon city, this text uses SWOT model to analyze the low-carbon city and puts forward the new path for the low-carbon city construction with Chinese characteristics.
