Emissions accounting for human settlements:
Whereas the previous section discussed the urban proportion of total global emissions, this section assesses
emissions accounting methods for human settlements. A variety of emission estimates have been published by
different research groups in the scientific. The estimates of GHG emissions and energy consumption for human
settlements are very diverse. Comparable estimates are usually only available across small samples of human
settlements, which currently limit the insights that can be gained from an assessment of these estimates.
Fig Emissions accounting
The limited number of comparable estimates is rooted in the absence of commonly accepted GHG accounting
standards and a lack of transparency over data availabilities, as well as choices that have been made in the
compilation of particular estimates:
Choice of physical urban boundaries. Human settlements are open systems with porous boundaries.
Depending on how physical boundaries are defined, estimates of energy consumption and GHG emissions
can vary significantly.
Choice of accounting approach/reporting scopes. There is widespread acknowledgement in the literature for
the need to report beyond the direct GHG emissions released from within a settlement’s territory.
Complementary accounting approaches have therefore been proposed to characterize different aspects of the
GHG performance of human settlements. Cities and other human settlements are increasingly adopting dual
approaches
Choice of calculation methods. There are differences in the methods used for calculating emissions,
including differences in emission factors used, methods for imputing missing data, and methods for
calculating indirect emissions.
Levels of Planning:
Traditionally, the term ‘urban planning’ was considered to be associated with only spatial planning. Over time,
the urban and regional planning skills have evolved across multiple sectors for different scales of interventions
as elaborated below:
Land use planning: development plans, master plan, town planning schemes, building construction permits,
development control regulations, inter-agency coordination local area plans for redevelopment of inner-city
areas, heritage conservation, environmental improvement etc.
Mobility planning: comprehensive mobility plans (including parking strategies, adoption of intelligent
transportation systems), planning of bus/rail rapid transit systems, etc.
Environmental infrastructure planning: city sanitation plans, water supply infrastructure plans, solid waste
management plans etc.
Implementation of various government schemes and programmes such as SAAPs and formulation of GIS-
based master plans.
Public outreach including participatory planning and grievances redressals.

Integrated and Holistic:
A prevailing notion of the mechanistic, reductionist worldview underpinning the modernist urban planning
paradigm is that humans are separate from, and superior to, nature. One outcome of this has been a human value
system that assumes the right to use ecological resources and change ecological processes for maximum human
benefit without limitation. The increasing focus from the latter part of the 20th century on the impacts of human
actions on the earth’s ecosystems, and the negative consequences for humans, has encouraged a re-examination
of the interdependence of humans on the environment. Paradoxically, argue that this has in part resulted in a
negative perception of the human relationship with nature, that positions humans like a virus infecting a healthy
system, and that nature needs to be protected from humans. This view insidiously contributes to the continuing
alienation of humans from their ecological home, and hampers the ability to visualize and actualize a positive
transformation towards sustainability. In order to counter this, consideration needs to be given to a more
harmonious human–environment relationship that reframes humans as intrinsically part of, and fundamentally
dependent on the natural world. There is evidence that such a new ecological paradigm is emerging, based on a
synthesis of older philosophies, and evidence-based findings from new research in ecology, physics, social
sciences, sustainability and resilience. This paradigm is based on a whole systems perspective of socio-
ecological systems that emphasizes interconnection, interdependence, adaptability, co-creation and co-evolution,
and the reciprocal relationship between humans and nature.

Urban form and infrastructure:
Urban form and structure are the patterns and spatial arrangements of land use, transportation systems, and urban
design elements, including the physical urban extent, layout of streets and buildings, as well as the internal
configuration of settlements. Infrastructure comprises services and built-up structures that support the functions
and operations of cities, including transport infrastructure, water supply systems, sanitation and wastewater
management, solid waste management, drainage and flood protection, telecommunications, and power
generation and distribution. There is a strong connection between infrastructure and urban form, but the causal
order is not fully resolved. Transport, energy, and water infrastructure are powerful instruments in shaping
where urban development occurs and in what forms. The absence of basic infrastructure often but not always
inhibits urban development. This section assesses the literature on urban form and infrastructure emissions,
details what data exist, the ranges, effects on emissions. Based on this assessment, conclusions are drawn on the
diversity of favourable urban forms and infrastructure highlighting caveats and conflicting goals.

Urban Consonance:
Six of the themes analysed in the previous section can be further organized into two core streams. The first
stream includes ecosystem services, socio-ecological systems and resilience. These three themes are primarily
abstract constructs arising within a sustainability theoretical framework. Thus, this can be described as the
sustainability stream. The three themes are further characterised by the use and adaptation of their terminology
from ecology for example by applying the ecosystem concept to complex, dynamic socio-ecological systems.
The second stream includes biodiversity, landscape, and green infrastructure. These three themes are all strongly
associated with the spatial element of urban environments and can thus be described as the spatial stream.
Fig Urban Consonance

These two core streams constitute the foundations of an emergent new paradigm that is the application of
sustainability-related concepts in a spatial setting. Sustainability is culturally, socially, environmentally,
politically and most importantly spatially context-dependent. Urban planning and design are explicitly spatial
disciplines that seek to create urban environments that balance multiple objectives and thus provide the ideal
means to integrate and apply sustainability concepts in the urban environment.
Spatial planning and climate change mitigation:
Spatial planning is a broad term that describes systematic and coordinated efforts to manage urban and regional
growth in ways that promote well-defined societal objectives such as land conservation, economic development,
carbon sequestration, and social justice. Growth management is a similar idea, aimed at guiding “the location,
quality, and timing of development to minimize sprawl, which is characterized by low density, non-contiguous,
automobile-dependent development that prematurely or excessively consumes farmland, natural preserves, and
other valued resources. This section reviews the range of spatial planning strategies that may reduce emissions
through impacts on most if not all of the elements of urban form and infrastructure.
It begins with an assessment of key spatial planning strategies that can be implemented at the macro and micro
geographic scales. It then assesses the range of regulatory, land use, and market-based policy instruments that
can be employed to achieve these strategic objectives. Given evidence of the increased emissions reduction
potential associated with affecting the collective set of spatial factors driving emissions, emphasis is placed on
assessing the efficacy of strategies or bundles that simultaneously impact multiple spatial outcomes on policy
evaluation and assessment.
Fig Spatial planning and climate change mitigation

The strategies discussed below aim to reduce sprawl and automobile dependence and thus energy consumption,
and emissions to varying degrees. Evidence on the energy and emission reduction benefits of these strategies
comes mainly from case studies in the developed world even though their greatest potential for reducing future
emissions lies in developing countries undergoing early stages of urbanization. The existing evidence highlights
the importance of an integrated infrastructure development framework that combines analysis of mitigation
reduction potentials alongside the long-term public provision of services.
