• Peter Calthorpe in Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change (2011) makes a convincing argument that urbanism needs to be a major component of society's efforts to control greenhouse gas emissions. He compares high density city environments with moderate density, close-in suburbs, and finally with further-out, low density suburbs. The annual carbon emissions per household are 6 metric tons in the city, 10 metric tons in the close-in suburbs, and 21 metric tons in the low density suburbs (Calthorpe 2011, plates 4 and 5).
