The Symbiotic Strategies Study of Low-Carbon Eco-City Based on Multi-symbiosis Theory

Abstract

Under the background of new urbanization, it is imperative to transform the Chinese urban development model to a multi-symbiotic low-carbon eco-city. From the perspective of “multi-symbiosis”, the paper illustrates the symbiosis theory and low-carbon eco-city, and puts forward a new concept called a multi-symbiotic low-carbon eco-city. Then, the characteristics and connotation of a multi-symbiotic low-carbon eco-city has been discussed in detail. Eight key symbiotic interfaces of a multi-symbiotic low-carbon eco-city and corresponding symbiotic strategies are identified: intensive land strategy, compact space strategy, low-carbon industry strategy, green building strategy, green transportation strategy, green infrastructure strategy, eco-community strategy and efficient energy utilization strategy.
