  2. 11. Government vs Market in Sustainable Residential Development? : Microdata analysis of car travel, CO2 emission and residence location

    Author : Xiaoyun Zhao; Johan Håkansson; Kenneth Carling; Stefan Schönfelder; Högskolan Dalarna; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Allmänt Mikrodataaanalys - transporter; General Microdata Analysis - transports;

    Abstract : Increasing car usage and travel demands between residential locations and destinations in order to fulfill the various needs of residents is a primary cause of CO2 emissions. To win the battle against climate change, a better understanding of the question relating to which urban residential form may most effectively mitigate the CO2 emissions is the key pathway.
