Jörg Firnkorn,Martin Müller +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the environmental effects of a free-floating car-sharing system operating in Ulm, Germany, which allows users to take and leave vehicles at any point within the city limits.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of climate change, mitigation and adaptation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed assessing of climate change impacts on various components of the ecosystem such as air, water, plants, animals and human beings, with special emphasis on economy.

Reducing energy and material flows in cities
Helga Weisz,Julia K. Steinberger +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the recent literature on urban energy and material use, and their reduction potential, focusing on three aspects: the urban form, the urban building stock, and urban consumption patterns.

The influence of urban form on GHG emissions in the U.S. household sector
Sungwon Lee,Bumsoo Lee +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine the paths by which urban form influences an individual household's carbon dioxide emissions in the 125 largest urbanized areas in the U.S. They show that doubling population-weighted density is associated with a reduction in CO2 emissions from household travel and residential energy consumption by 48% and 35%, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy requirements of consumption: Urban form, climatic and socio-economic factors, rebounds and their policy implications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the direct and indirect primary energy requirements of Australian households, contrasting urban, suburban and rural consumption patterns as well as inter- and intra-regional levels of inequality in energy requirements.

Travel and the built environment: a synthesis
Reid Ewing,Robert Cervero +1 more
TL;DR: Elasticities of travel demand with respect to density, diversity, design, and regional accessibility are derived from selected studies and may be useful in travel forecasting and sketch planning and have already been incorporated into one sketch planning tool, the Environmental Protection Agency’s Smart Growth Index model.
