Low Carbon Urban Infrastructure Investment in Asian Cities
Low Carbon Urban Infrastructure Investment in Asian Cities[electronic resource] /edited by Joni Jupesta, Takako Wakiyama. - 1st ed. 2016. - XIV, 129 p. 27 illus. in color.online resource. - Cities and the Global Politics of the Environment. - Cities and the Global Politics of the Environment.

- Chapter 1: Introduction -- Chapter 2: Risk Analysis for Low Carbon City Development in Yokohama -- Chapter 3: Analysis on the Economic Policies to Promote the Development of Green Buildings in China -- Chapter 4: Low Carbon City Scenario for DKI Jakarta Towards 2030 -- Chapter 5: Assessment of the impacts of low carbon investment on renewable energy for development of low carbon future in Yokohama city -- Chapter 6: Smart cities in Japan and its application in developing countries -- Chapter 7: Conclusion.

Several Asian cities have already invested in initiatives to build and promote Green Cities. Owing to the limited capacity of local governments, the funding of urban infrastructure has become a critical issue. Against this background, this book explores a new funding mechanism which demands the engagement of many stakeholders, including public-private partnerships. This book offers guidance on how cities in selected countries can play a key role in the green growth agenda, by stimulating growth through smart investment in urban infrastructure such as through building a physical infrastructure, offering financial and tax incentives, and heightening society’s awareness of a sustainable lifestyle.
