China's pilot low-carbon city initiative: A comparative assessment of national goals and local plans
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an exante comparative assessment of the low-carbon development plans and supporting measures formulated for each of China's 8 pilot low carbon cities and find that while the 8 pilot cities have made progress in establishing low carbon plans, key barriers such as a lack of explicit definition for low carbon city, complexity and confusion resulting from several parallel programs, and insufficient supporting policies and market-based instruments may hinder urban development that is truly low carbon.
