Abstract

Nowadays about 50% of global population lives in cities, responsible for about 70% of GHG emissions and by 2030 the urbanization rate will increase to over 75%. The paper discusses new emerging concept of “Post-Carbon” City, in which the “vision” consists in the opportunity of breaking the carbon-dependent system of urban areas. It provides inspiration to re-think urban re-development patterns. In this new vision buildings and occupant behaviour role and need for new comprehensive planning tools are investigated. The paper deals with a project that is undergoing study and represents a picture of the current situation related to “Post-Carbon” City topic.
