Abstract

The promotion of urbanization has become a major trend in the development of the new era. It brings cities rapid economic growth but also leads to significant carbon emissions. Cities are crucial in adopting low-carbon development policies and carrying out carbon reduction initiatives since they are large sources of energy use and emissions of greenhouse gases. The building of low-carbon cities has been essential at a time when carbon neutrality and carbon peaking have become the consensus and mission of humanity. Following the theory of low-carbon urban growth theory, the article takes Guangzhou city in China as an example, describes its low-carbon policies in urban planning during different periods, and discusses its low-carbon initiatives and effectiveness. It is known that Guangzhou is now constructing a low-carbon metropolis but has issues with two distinct aspects of transportation and industrial transformation. The urban transportation system needs to be improved, and the industry needs to upgrade and transform. In response to the problems, this article recommends countermeasures to intensify efforts to enhance public transportation and enable the low-carbon transformation of industry in order to promote the green and scientific growth of Guangzhou as a low-carbon city.
