Planning for just and sustainable urban regions, Paris, 8-12th July 2024As climate change becomes a significant global threat, the pursuit of carbon peak and carbon neutrality is now essential for urban development in China. Carbon accounting is a crucial technical tool for monitoring urban carbon emissions and guiding low-carbon urban construction. This study, which focuses on urban built-up areas, integrates carbon accounting methods with urban spatial elements, significantly aiding the achievement of'dual carbon' development goals in cities. Using Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province as a case study, this paper summarizes and analyzes fifteen years of data on energy and spatial usage to develop a carbon accounting system for urban built-up areas. Additionally, it formulates a carbon accounting method for urban built-up areas based on spatial usage, and validates its accuracy by comparing the results with those from energy usage carbon accounting. Based on these findings, the study proposes pathways for predicting urban carbon neutrality and specialized assessments for low-carbon construction, thus supporting the 'carbon neutrality' goals in national spatial planning.EnglishopenAccessconferenceObject3496-3508
