Low Carbon Urban Infrastructure Investment in Asian Cities: Cities and the Global Politics of the Environment

Editat de Joni Jupesta, Takako Wakiyama
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 iun 2016
Several Asian cities have already invested in initiatives to build and promote Green Cities. Owing to the limited capacity of local governments, the funding of urban infrastructure has become a critical issue. Against this background, this book explores a new funding mechanism which demands the engagement of many stakeholders, including public-private partnerships. 
This book offers guidance on how cities in selected countries can play a key role in the green growth agenda, by stimulating growth through smart investment in urban infrastructure such as through building a physical infrastructure, offering financial and tax incentives, and heightening society’s awareness of a sustainable lifestyle.
