概要: There is great heterogeneity in urban energy-use patterns as revealed by this assessment drawing together a novel urban energy use data set. The few available data suggest that urban energy use in high-income countries is not substantially different from the national average when using a consumption-based accounting approach, whereas in low-income countries the urban-rural energy difference is likely to be even lager under this alternative energy accounting method. Because of complexities in systems boundaries and accounting, urban studies need to adhere to high standards in terms of clarity and documentation of the terminology, methodology, and documentation of underlying energy data used.
