“…For low-carbon land use and management, scholars have studied both macromanagement [34][35][36][37][38] and micromanagement [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46]. At the macro level, some scholars proposed the development of compact cities [33] from the perspective of urban planning, hoping to reduce carbon emissions by increasing the composite performance of urban land use [35].…”

“…At the macro level, some scholars proposed the development of compact cities [33] from the perspective of urban planning, hoping to reduce carbon emissions by increasing the composite performance of urban land use [35]. Others optimized the quantitative structure for the overall land use in cities or regions and put forward policy suggestions for low-carbon land optimization, such as an 'urban growth boundary' and an 'ecological red line' [33,36]. Aydin et al (2012) proposed rationally arranging green areas according to the form and density of residential areas to achieve a carbon and oxygen balance [37].…”

In 2021, the Chinese government set the national development goal of ‘carbon peak and carbon neutrality’. Defining the carbon cycle process of land use is the first step for the implementation of low-carbon land use in coal mining areas. In this study, the carbon income and expenditure of land use in coal mining areas were analyzed theoretically using normative analysis, and thus the corresponding conceptual model of the carbon budget was formed. Concretely, carbon emissions from the coal industry were mainly from two aspects, that is, soil carbon emissions caused by drastic changes in land use in the coal exploration and exploitation stage and greenhouse gas emissions in the coal collection stage. Moreover, carbon in the air is sequestered in the soil when exploration land and mining land were reclaimed into woodland and grassland. Meanwhile, to optimize the utilization of land resources and realize the land low-carbon pattern from the management perspective, the logic system of land low-carbon use management in coal mining areas was explored using normative analysis and literature review. Thus, a complete management system including the management objective, subject, object, means, and implementation guarantee mechanism was built in detail. This study provided ideas for carbon reduction in coal mining areas and laid a decision-making basis for regional low-carbon land use and sustainable development.

“…New strands of research show that the low carbon urban form characteristics are necessary elements of the sustainability strategy for urban regeneration and new urban development [137]. These characteristics include renewal and revitalization (e.g., greenfield protection, redevelop brownfield, infill, and grey field sites), compaction, density and scale, control of urban sprawl (by establishing urban growth boundaries), mixed land use development, housing-job proximity, provision of amenities and urban services, size of urban block, passive solar design, underground volume rate, urban ecological spaces and carbon sinks (e.g., urban space, green infrastructure-green roof, native plant species, and urban forestry), blue infrastructure (e.g., wetlands and lakes), and the preservation and conservation of historical heritage and traditional culture [36,50,83,108,113,[137][138][139][140][141][142][143][144][145][146]. When done correctly, these factors can have significant impacts such as enhancing energy production and performance, reducing the need for mobility, reducing GHG emissions increasing economic and social vitality, and creating and preserving urban green space and cultural heritage [36,138,142],.…”

Low carbon city (LCC) has emerged as the latest sustainable urbanism strategy in China as a response to climate change impacts. Yet, minimal scholarships have explored the sustainability of the urban planning model towards understanding the complexity of the components. Using a two-step triangulation approach, this paper presents a structured overview of the LCC initiative in China as it relates to the transition to a sustainability paradigm. The data collection approach includes a comprehensive review of 238 articles on LCC to identify and categorize LCC components. Furthermore, discourse and framing analysis was used to develop and synthesize a conceptual framework for assimilating the components into four core sustainable development principles: Integration, implementation, equity, and scalability and replicability. The results indicate that LCC development in China is bias towards economic and environmental technological innovations and strategies. Additionally, several critical sustainability issues of LCC pilots were identified. These include a lack of social equity planning concerns for the most vulnerable population, dearth of social reforms that cater to lifestyle and behavioral change, top-down planning and decision-making processes, a technocratic rationalization planning approach, inconsistent LCC targets on inter-generational justice concerns, absence of an effective national "sharing and learning" city-city network system, and several barriers to implementation. We conclude that the applied theoretical and conceptual inquiry into the field of LCC is pertinent to mitigate climate change and achieve sustainable urban development.Sustainability 2019, 11, 4342 2 of 37 consumption [14][15][16][17]. This increasing energy consumption and coal dependency of the urban energy system has increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, as China has become the world's largest energy consumer and carbon emitter [18,19]. A recent report by the National Bureau of Statistics [20] suggests that despite a decline in GHG emissions between 2013 and 2016, emissions grew by 2.3% in 2018 due to a surge in urban construction. Therefore, after three decades of rapid physical and socio-spatial modernization, the country is facing significant negative externalities [16]. Local environmental pollution [6,16,[21][22][23], ecological deterioration [24], and energy shortage [21,25] have created health risks [26], have affected people's quality of life [27], and resulted in substantial economic losses [28] in megacities such as Tianjin and Beijing [29]. Concomitantly, China's cities are vulnerable to climate change impacts [17,30], as some cities have inadequate seawall defenses in low-lying areas [5], and are therefore exposed to flooding and extreme rainstorms [23]. In addition to this, some experience droughts from reduced precipitation, which can be attributed to low urban institutional capacity that creates limitations in climate governance and planning [31]. These complex and intractable problems have heralded a call for action, t...
