Abstract

Looks at the technical and social systems that satisfy the urban lifestyle demand for reliable and sustainable energy services and asks how they might be provided more sustainably. Takes an integrated approach, describing urban energy systems as complex interconnected systems, showing how cities have evolved from consuming locally available fuels to centres of global energy networks with significant environmental impacts. Drawing on analytical tools and case studies developed at Imperial College London, the book presents state-of-the-art techniques for examining urban energy systems as integrated systems of technologies, resources, and people.
