Abstract

Two trends are likely to define the 21st century: threats to the sustainability of the natural environment and dramatic increases in urbanization. This paper reviews the goals, business models, and partnerships involved in eight early “ecocity” projects to begin to identify success factors in this emerging industry. Ecocities, for the most part, are viewed as a means of mitigating threats to the natural environment while creating urban living capacity, by combining low carbon and resource-efficient development with the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to better manage complex urban systems.
可持续城市:矛盾修饰法还是未来的形态?
两种趋势可能会定义21世纪:对自然环境可持续性的威胁和城市化的急剧增加。本文回顾了八个早期“生态城市”项目的目标、商业模式和合作伙伴关系,以开始确定这一新兴产业的成功因素。在很大程度上,生态城市被视为一种减轻自然环境威胁的手段,同时通过将低碳和资源节约型发展与信息通信技术(ICT)的使用相结合,以更好地管理复杂的城市系统,创造城市生活能力。
