Urban planning for low-carbon sustainable development

Abstract With the acceleration of urbanization and industrialization, increasingly serious global climate change issues have profoundly affected the survival and development of human beings, and natural, ecological and social systems are facing unprecedented threats and challenges. The purpose of this article is to study urban planning from multiple perspectives and levels, and strive to create a healthy ecologically balanced environment. This article takes city A as the research object, and uses the theory of SD and low-carbon(LC) cities as a guide to analyze the social and economic development level, regional resources, and environment of city A, and compare it with representative cities. Through the analysis of decoupling index, the stage of LC development in city A was clarified, and the urbanization rate of city A was 68 %. The economic growth of city A mainly depends on the rapid development of high-energy-consuming industries. We must adjust the economic structure. On the basis of full demonstration and analysis, development strategies are proposed from the aspects of urban planning, LC economy and LC transportation to promote the harmonious development of the ecological environment and the city.
