Description

Urbanisation has re-shaped China's economy, society, and energy system. Between 1990 and 2007 China added 290 million new urban residents, bringing the total urbanisation rate to 45%. This population adjustment spurred energy demand for construction of new buildings and infrastructure, as well as additional residential use as rural biomass was replaced with urban commercial energy services. This book studies energy consumption in China with a focus on urbanisation, industrialisation, and energy demand scenarios.
