Beschreibung
This book showcases the advanced research for cities to implement the food-energy-water (FEW) nexus principles. The volume is a continuity of Resilient and Adaptive Tokyo: Towards Sustainable Urbanization in Perspective of Food-energy-water Nexus (2024) and again taking Tokyo as the focal area, compiles with fundamental principles of nexus thinking and empirical applications of nexus approaches. It examines the nexus effects of urban FEW nexus through the supply chain in urban planning and management, magnifying the perspective of demand and consumption through quantitative analyses with a series of nexus methods. This book aims to answer the critical questions in the urban nexus study, how to understand the urban nexus, how to build methods to explore the nexus, and how to improve the resource use efficiency with less CO2 emissions. Through this book, researchers in the field of urbanisation, nexus research, urban design research, environment, disaster risk reduction, and climate change studies will have a better idea on the current trend and advance methods of research on this important topic. It also aims to help practitioners and policymakers apply collective knowledge to policy and decision-making.
