Climate change is an important issue in the 21st century. How to construct low-carbon cities has become the most important scientific topic among academics. Aiming to understand the current situation of low-carbon cities better, this paper firstly sums up the relative theories and research from the international level in several aspects, including the concept of low-carbon cities, the carbon emissions from urban transport, and the urban form and individual travel behavior. Then, using the daily activity survey data of Beijing in 2007, this paper examines the relationship between urban form and carbon emissions from urban transport based on the analysis of individual travel behavior. Finally, the theoretic foundation and policy suggestions are put forward for the construction of low-carbon cities. |
