Abstract

In this final chapter, the subtopical areas addressed in this brief are revisited, effectively connecting air pollution, urban greening, and energy conservation for low-carbon cities. The UHI effect is approached along with land use in the context of anthropogenic climate warming. As part of the transformation to low-carbon cities, Oxford is presented in the aftermath of the OTS, with an emphasis on transport, traffic pollution, (environmental) health, and urban sustainability.
