摘要：In this issue, we are attempting to discuss planning system of different Asian cities from a viewpoint of green city design for achieving low carbon city. The principles as well as the design components of “low-carbon planning” have been widely discussed in the world. Urban planning is recognized as an important tool for the low-carbon development of cities. Generally speaking, integrating “low-carbon” concepts into urban planning practices is still in the early stages of an exploratory trial.The studies collected in the special issue serve as good references for pursuing low carbon development in Asian cities although these works need further refinements in many aspects. Global warming is a phenomenon in which the global temperature increases from year to year due to the greenhouse effect caused by increasing economic demand and urban land use. The provision of green space in the city can be one of the planning measures for the realization of more human-urban environment, and capable of functioning ecological and low carbon city.
