Abstract

In the context of carbon neutrality, countries around the world are studying how cities transform to them. In recent years, China's research in the field of environmental protection has also developed rapidly and is currently at a leading level worldwide. The transformation of cities to carbon neutrality is also increasingly valued by the Chinese government. This paper mainly discusses how Chinese cities transform to low-carbon and carbon neutrality. Firstly, it was pointed out that in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to first address the issue of energy transformation, carry out an energy supply revolution, and increase one's own energy advantages. Then it pointed out the role that big cities play in the transformation process. Taking developed country metropolises London, New York, and Guangzhou, China as examples, this paper analyzes their respective development methods, characteristics, and results. Then it gives specific measures for other cities in China in terms of transportation and ecological development, and also points out the path to achieve carbon neutrality in China. Finally, it also mentioned a technology to achieve carbon neutrality - carbon sequestration technology, and explained the corresponding measures from two aspects of plants and buildings in detail.
