Local agency vs. political economy in low-income energy transitions in California: The case of the Bassett–Avocado Heights Advanced Energy Community
In California, the progressive electrification of residential buildings is one of the primary mechanisms by which the state intends to decarbonize urban life. State action on residential decarbonization via electrification has involved efforts to encourage the adoption of efficient electrified appliances, home energy management systems, and distributed generation and storage technologies. New programs and sociotechnical demonstration projects hav…
Building an interactive web mapping tool to support distributed energy resource planning using public participation GIS
Community solar projects involve the installation of large PV systems whose net outputs are then virtually allocated to customers at other locations. They represent a relatively new model of distributed energy resource (DER) implementation that could help overcome some historical barriers to low-income, disadvantaged community, renter household participation in the ongoing renewable energy transition. Siting community solar assets is a thick and …
Net GHG emissions and air quality outcomes from different residential building electrification pathways within a California disadvantaged community
Electrification of gas appliances in residential buildings will be necessary to rapidly decarbonize the energy system. In California however, recent rates of adoption of electric appliances, especially within disadvantaged and vulnerable communities (DVCs), have been insufficient to meet the state's ambitious GHG emissions abatement targets. In this study we use an integrated assessment modeling framework to quantify the holistic benefits of diff…
On energy sufficiency and the need for new policies to combat growing inequities in the residential energy sector
The decreasing cost and increasing availability of new technologies capable of improving household energy efficiency, generating and storing renewable energy, and decarbonizing major end use appliances have begun to significantly transform many residential communities across the U.S. Despite these positive developments however, the degree to which disadvantaged communities (DACs) have been able to participate in and benefit from these transformat…
Dossier: Le groupe des Dix, des précurseurs de l'interdisciplinarité – Des modèles pour comprendre la complexité des systèmes urbains. Apports et apories autour de l’ouvrage L’homme et la ville d’Henr…
Henri Laborit, neurochirurgien spécialiste du stress organique et membre du Groupe des Dix, est l’auteur d’une expérience pédagogique et scientifique interdisciplinaire à l’université de Paris-Vincennes, auprès d’urbanistes. Son ouvrage L’homme et la ville (1971) présente la ville comme un écosystème complexe dans lequel l’homme exerce des relations de domination dans l’histoire (rapports de classes, de races, de nations, etc.) et ce sous la comm…
The shape of Fraught – urban – rural – the nation-state: Tensions and dynamics
I argue that the tension between cities and nation states go through the countryside, or rural areas, at least in the U.S. Further, cities are decidedly constrained in their abilities to effectuate many of the changes associated with them: addressing climate change, economic inequality and more. What is missing is the way in which rural alienation from economic prosperity plays out politically
Why data for a political-industrial ecology of cities
Cities in the age of the Anthropocene: Climate change agents and the potential for mitigation
Post carbon cities
Current modernist cities are the workshops of the world economy, places of production and consumption, supported by centralized infrastructures of power, water, sanitation and distribution systems, made possible by the extraordinary versatility and power of fossil fuels. Old European and Asian cities, built with human labour, are dense and human scale. To transform existing cities into post carbon ones, current urbanization patterns and forms wil…
Chapter 7. Paths to Carbon Neutrality: Lessons from California
California is one of the least greenhouse-gas intensive states in the United States, and one of the most energy efficient economies in the world. Its success is partly an accident of geography, due to a temperate climate, and its service-based economy with little emissions-intensive industry. But California’s governors, state legislators, and local agencies have also shown a willingness to enact climate legislation and implement mitigation polici…
Response to Comment on “Analysis of High‐Resolution Utility Data for Understanding Energy Use in Urban Systems”
Analysis of High‐Resolution Utility Data for Understanding Energy Use in Urban Systems: The Case of Los Angeles, California
Urban metabolism provides a framework to understand resource flows into cities and waste flows out. Its potential has been hampered by the lack of good disaggregated data. This article presents energy‐use findings for the residential sector for the city of Los Angeles based on census‐block–level aggregation of address‐level electricity use obtained from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. City or county billing data by customer class o…
Energy and material flows of megacities
Significance Our quantification of energy and material flows for the world’s 27 megacities is a major undertaking, not previously achieved. The sheer magnitude of these flows (e.g., 9% of global electricity, 10% of gasoline; 13% of solid waste) shows the importance of megacities in addressing global environmental challenges. In aggregate the resource flows through megacities are consistent with scaling laws for cities. Statistical relations are e…
Trees Grow on Money: Urban Tree Canopy Cover and Environmental Justice
This study examines the distributional equity of urban tree canopy (UTC) cover for Baltimore, MD, Los Angeles, CA, New York, NY, Philadelphia, PA, Raleigh, NC, Sacramento, CA, and Washington, D.C. using high spatial resolution land cover data and census data. Data are analyzed at the Census Block Group levels using Spearman's correlation, ordinary least squares regression (OLS), and a spatial autoregressive model (SAR). Across all cities there is…
Tamara Venit Shelton. A Squatter's Republic: Land and the Politics of Monopoly in California, 1850–1900
One could argue that the land question, with which this book begins, is back. With unaffordable rents in many of the major cities in the United States, speculation in agricultural lands in many parts of the country (unaffordable agricultural lands for entry-level farmers in California), the hope would be that this book might provide a bridge or platform to understanding how the land question has been constructed in the U.S. from the complex and o…
Enabling Future Sustainability Transitions: An Urban Metabolism Approach to Los Angeles
This synthesis article presents an overview of an urban metabolism (UM) approach using mixed methods and multiple sources of data for Los Angeles, California. We examine electric energy use in buildings and greenhouse gas emissions from electricity, and calculate embedded infrastructure life cycle effects, water use and solid waste streams in an attempt to better understand the urban flows and sinks in the Los Angeles region (city and county). Th…
Infrastructure and automobile shifts: Positioning transit to reduce life-cycle environmental impacts for urban sustainability goals
Public transportation systems are often part of strategies to reduce urban environmental impacts from passenger transportation, yet comprehensive energy and environmental life-cycle measures, including upfront infrastructure effects and indirect and supply chain processes, are rarely considered. Using the new bus rapid transit and light rail lines in Los Angeles, near-term and long-term life-cycle impact assessments are developed, including consi…

Endangered Neoliberal Suburbanism? The Use of the Federal Endangered Species Act as a Growth Management Tool in Southern California
In the United States, new environmental policy instruments have emerged to address some of the economic, social and environmental contradictions of neoliberal urbanism. Amongst these instruments, regional habitat conservation planning under the Federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) is becoming de facto a suburban growth management tool widely deployed across different parts of Southern California. One reason why speculator-developers, property own…

Coupling biogeochemical cycles in urban environments: Ecosystem services, green solutions, and misconceptions
Urban green space is purported to offset greenhouse‐gas (GHG) emissions, remove air and water pollutants, cool local climate, and improve public health. To use these services, municipalities have focused efforts on designing and implementing ecosystem‐services‐based “green infrastructure” in urban environments. In some cases the environmental benefits of this infrastructure have been well documented, but they are often unclear, unquantified, and/…

Rescaling regions in the state: The New Regionalism in California
The Reinvention of Public Green Space
Much attention has been paid to preserving land at the urban fringe, and to the negative effects of sprawl and its costs. There is increasing recognition that enhancing green, public open spaces in cities provides a strategy to make those cities more sustainable, more livable, and more equitable. This involves a new approach to public spaces that integrates infra-structure needs, takes equity into account, and reexamines the range of uses public …

Nature and the Reproduction of Endangered Space: The Spotted Owl in the Pacific Northwest and Southern California
Recent efforts to protect biodiversity in the United States often reproduce the literal and figurative divisions of space that have originally endangered target species. Nature as redefined by these efforts is as much a social construction as it is some biophysical entity under siege by humans, We focus on the categorical and spatial distinctions between landscapes prioritized for protection and landscapes given less priority or ignored altogethe…

Immigrants and Redevelopment Plans in Paris, France: Urban Planning, Equity, and Environmental Justice
In France, as in many Western democratic countries, immigration has become politically and emotionally charged, challenging democratic principles and institutions by evoking racist and exclusionary policies.
