Abstract

This Risø Energy Report is the tenth in a series which began in 2002. Volume 10 takes as its point of reference the rapid urbanisation of the world. UN population statistics show that global population is expected to surpass 9 billion by 2050, and nearly 6.3 billion people will be living in urban areas. Urban regions will thus absorb most of the world’s population increase in the next four decades while drawing in some of the rural population as well: by 2050 there will be 600 million fewer people in rural areas.

The report addresses energy related issues for smart cities, including energy infrastructure, onsite energy production, transport, economy, sustainability, housing, living and governance, including incentives and barriers influencing smart energy for smart cities.

The report is based on the latest internationally recognised scientific material, fully referenced, and refereed by an independent panel of international experts
