Overview
The China Sustainable Cities Initiative (CSCI) is a project of the Energy Foundation. The overarching goal of the China Sustainable Cities Initiative is to reduce carbon emissions and air pollution in new and existing Chinese cities by promoting sustainable urbanization, sound transportation systems, and energy efficient buildings.
To ensure the unprecedented wave of urban development follows the greenest possible path, the Initiative focuses on sustainable urban layout and sustainable transport systems. The work in Year IV of this initiative will center on:
- Consolidate comprehensive pilot projects that integrate sustainable urban planning and green transportation;
- Develop national and provincial policy based on pilot success ; and
- Enhance local technical capacity.
The Initiative’s main anticipated results in sustainable transportation and urban design is to limit car trips to less than 25% of mode share thereby dramatically reducing the emissions of carbon and other pollutants from the urban transport sector.
