The auto industry is moving forward in reducing the reliance on fossil fuels and increasing renewable energy usage, as new energy vehicles are considered the key strategy to strengthen the country’s energy security, protect the environment, and enhance sustainable development. To cope with the pressure caused by the rapid increase in the number of cars, the Chinese government has implemented incentives in terms of markets, digital information networks, and infrastructure. This report focuses on the policies implemented by the Chinese government to enhance the application of new energy vehicles, and analyses the basic principles of urban transportation planning in China. By assessing the benefits and weaknesses of new energy vehicle policies, this study critically evaluates China’s project to promote new energy vehicles. The findings show that China’s alternative fuel industry has reached a turning point of rapid growth and is expected to become the mainstream of automobile consumption in the coming years. As the largest developing country, China’s development of new energy vehicles can provide valuable experiences to address both the opportunities and challenges of their cities moving to sustainable transport.
The construction of large dams has become a controversial environmental issue around the world. The Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in China is by far the largest hydroelectric power plant in the world. Supporters of the project argue that it would help control catastrophic flooding along the Yangtze River, provide much-needed electricity to the central region of China along the river, and enhance the economic advantage of the interior. The most important role is for the dam to act as an important power station and reservoir in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, as it will not only solve natural disasters, such as floods and mudslides, but also promote economic development in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River through power generation. The dam is also intended to protect millions of people from periodic flooding along the Yangtze River, although there has been debate about its effectiveness. However, the dam has also caused damage to ecological and wildlife habitats, archaeological and cultural sites, and the displacement of millions of people.
Singapore is located in Southeast Asia. Although highly urbanised, the land area is small and lacks water resources. Its water resources account for only 1.43% of total land (Ho, 2021). Due to special geographical and climatic characteristics, the scarcity of water resources urgently requires rational planning and utilisation of land resources to cope with increasing urban development and water demand. For this reason, water resources management is considered an important part of environmental and ecological conservation by the Singaporean government.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
