Sustainability is judged by three criteria. The first involves elements of day-to-day quality of life, such as having clean air and water and green space. The provision of these public goods has direct effects on the urban public's health and productivity. The second focuses on the city's greenhouse gas emissions. Developing cities are investing in new infrastructure, from highways and public transit systems to electricity generation and transmission. They are building water treatment, water delivery, and sewage disposal systems. Residents of these cities are simultaneously making key decisions about where they live and work and whether to buy such energy-consuming durables as private vehicles and home air-conditioning units. Given the long-lived durability of the capital stock, short-term decisions will have long-term effects on the city's carbon footprint. The third criterion is a city's resilience to natural disasters and extreme weather events. This subsection focuses on how the urban poor can be better equipped to adapt to the anticipated challenges of climate change.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO ELECTRICITYACIDSADAPTATION TO CLIMATE CHANGEAGGREGATE DEMANDAGGREGATE SUPPLYAIRAIR CONDITIONINGAIR POLLUTIONALLOCATIONALLOWANCEALLOWANCE TRADINGAPPROACHAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOTIVE LEAD EMISSIONSBALANCEBUSBUS LANESBUS ROUTESBUS STATIONSBUSESCARCARBONCARBON EMISSIONSCARBON FOOTPRINTCARBON PRICECARBON TAXCARBON TAX SWAPCARSCATALYTIC CONVERTERCHEMICALSCITIZENSCLEAN AIRCLEAN WATERCLIMATECLIMATE CHANGECLIMATE CHANGE ECONOMICSCLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTSCLIMATE RESILIENCECOALCONGESTION CHARGECONGESTION PRICINGCONVENTIONAL GASOLINECOPPERDEMAND CURVEDEMAND FOR POWERDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIESELDOUBLE DIVIDENDDRAINAGEDRAINAGE SYSTEMSDRIVINGDROUGHTDYESECOLOGICAL ECONOMICSECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIES OF SCALEELECTRICITYELECTRICITY CONSUMPTIONELECTRICITY DEMANDELECTRICITY GENERATIONELECTRICITY PRICESELECTRICITY SUPPLYEMISSIONEMISSION CONTROLEMISSION LEVELSEMISSIONS CONTROLEMISSIONS FROM INDUSTRYEMPLOYMENTENERGY EFFICIENCYENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDSENERGY POLICYENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCESENVIRONMENTAL COSTSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL ECONOMICSENVIRONMENTAL IMPLICATIONSENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICEENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCYENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONSEXCHANGE RATEEXTERNALITIESEXTREME HEATEXTREME RAINFALLEXTREME WEATHEREXTREME WEATHER EVENTSFAT TAILFEWER PEOPLEFINANCIAL SUPPORTFLOOR AREAFLOOR AREA RATIOFOSSILFOSSIL FUELFOSSIL FUEL CONSUMPTIONFOSSIL FUELSFREIGHTFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL ECONOMYFUEL EFFICIENCYGAS PRICESGAS PRODUCTIONGASOLINEGASOLINE TAXGLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGEGREEN SPACEGREENHOUSEGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONSHEALTH CAREHEALTHY ENVIRONMENTHEATHEAVY INDUSTRYHIGH SPEEDSHIGHWAYSHURRICANEHYBRID VEHICLESINCOMEINDUSTRIAL POLLUTIONINDUSTRIAL PRODUCTIONINSPECTIONINSURANCEINTENSIVE INDUSTRIESJOBSLAND USELOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOW-CARBONMILEAGEMORTALITYMORTALITY RISKNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL GASNEGATIVE IMPACTSNEIGHBORHOODSOZONEPARTICULATEPEAK-TIMEPEAK-TIME PRICINGPER CAPITA INCOMEPER CAPITA VEHICLEPESTICIDESPHARMACEUTICALSPOLICEPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION COSTSPOLLUTION EXPOSUREPOPULATION DENSITYPOPULATION GROWTHPOWERPOWER GENERATIONPOWER PLANTPOWER PLANTSPRIVATE VEHICLEPRIVATE VEHICLESPROGRESSPROPERTY RIGHTSPROPERTY TAXESPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC PARKINGPUBLIC ROADSPUBLIC TRANSITPUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEMSPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONQUALITY OF LIFERAILRAIL TRANSITRAIL TRANSIT PLANNINGRAILWAYSRAINRAINFALLRAPID TRANSITREAL ESTATERENEWABLE POWERRESIDENTIAL HOUSINGRESOURCE CONSTRAINTSRIDERRIDERSHIPROADROAD CONGESTIONROAD PROVISIONROADSRURAL ELECTRIFICATIONSANITATIONSO2SOLAR PANELSSOLVENTSSOURCE OF ELECTRICITYSPILLOVERSUBSTITUTIONSUBURBSSUBWAYSUBWAY LINESSULFURSULFUR DIOXIDESULFUR DIOXIDE EMISSIONSSUPPLY CURVETAXTEMPERATURETOLLTOTAL EMISSIONSTRADING PARTNERSTRAFFICTRAFFIC CONGESTIONTRAFFIC SAFETYTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSPORTTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION COSTSTRANSPORTATION ECONOMICSTRANSPORTATION EMISSIONSTRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORTATION SYSTEMTREATYTRUCK USETRUCKSURBAN DEVELOPMENTURBAN DRIVERSURBAN PLANNERSURBAN TRANSPORTATIONVEHICLEVEHICLE EMISSIONVEHICLE EMISSIONSVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLE PURCHASESVEHICLE USEWALKINGWATER POLLUTIONWATER TREATMENTWINDWIND TURBINES10.1596/17598
