Digital-Green Dual Transformation and the Sustainable Development of Cities pub ECE S3 TISS policy report; China; digitalization; green technology; sustainable development; transformation; cities Cities are crucial to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Currently, more than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities. By 2050, 68 % of the global population will live in cities and urban areas. Today, cities take up only about 3% of land area, but are responsible for 50% of waste generation, 60-80% of GHG emissions and 75% of resource consumption, with the construction sector alone using 40-50% of the resources extracted globally. During the urbanization process, China has seen the emergence of mega-cities with populations exceeding 10 million, including Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Tianjin, Dongguan, Wuhan, and Hangzhou. This rapid urbanisation has resulted in an increased consumption of resources, energy and materials and led to negative environmental effects. China has made significant strides in smart city developments, marked by initiatives dating back to 2005 with the introduction of digital city management. Subsequent policies, such as the 2014 "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the Healthy Development of Smart Cities" and the 2023 "Plan for the Overall Layout of Building a Digital China," have driven the nation’s smart city agenda. These efforts have resulted in improved urban efficiency, including smarter transportation systems that reduce congestion and emissions. While China’s advancements in smart city development are impressive, it becomes apparent that the integration of digitalization and the green transition (here also referred to as the “dual transformation”) has not yet been formally implemented in China. Against this backdrop, we argue that the shift towards net-zero cities will fundamentally depend on the strategic execution of the dual transformation towards smart sustainable cities. Therefore, the “Smart Sustainable City” concept should be adopted as the leading paradigm of urban development. 2024 China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) https://cciced.eco/research/special-policy-study/digitalization-and-green-technologies-for-sustainable-development/ 3145 250 public Beijing,China Urban Futures Hub info:eu-repo/semantics/other
