PROJECT OVERVIEW
WWW.POCACITO.EUPOST-CARBON CITIES OF TOMORROW │PROJECT OVERVIEW
The term “POST-CARBON CITY” signifies a rupture in the carbon dependent urban system, which has lead to
high levels of anthropogenic greenhouse gases, and the establishment of new types of cities that are low
carbon as well as environmentally, socially and economically sustainable. The term post-carbon
emphasises the process of TRANSFORMATION, a shift in paradigm, which is necessary to respond to the multiple challenges of climate change, ecosystem
degradation, social equity and economic pressures.
